Premier Inn Cardiff City South hotel
Budget Cardiff hotel with en suite rooms, free parking and an on-site restaurant — handy for an easy family stay.

Family · Cardiff
Handy if you're staying at the Premier Inn next door, and easy enough with children in tow — free parking, buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and a few tables outside. The all-you-can-eat breakfast is genuinely good value and gets the most praise, steaks come out beautifully cooked when the kitchen's on form, and refillable soft drinks keep everyone happy without another trip to the bar. Staff are generally pleasant and attentive, though service can wobble at busy times — missing menu items, slow food, and sticky tables come up often enough to mention, so it's worth going early with hungry children rather than mid-afternoon. Evenings can get loud if a rowdy table settles in. Booking helps, especially if you're after the carvery, which does sell out.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
