Fabulous place, you cannot do it all in one day and it's being continually added to and lovely staff and volunteers. A must see and a gem of a place to visit. The only reason why it has 4 and not 5 stars is the map, signage, information and the cafe running out of food early afternoon. I've put these at the end of this post. Fir some reason, I cannot label the photos today, I will see if I can revisit later! Entry: free entry, but prebook £6 per car to park on site. Covid Safety: Prebook only. Covid social distancing signs and gel. Weather: the site is open air, sunblock when hot weather even when cloudy, sensible shoes and clothing for different weather conditions. Accessibility: good. Lift one end. Disabled toilet with shower the same end. Lpos near the cafe. Disabled parking relatively near the centre. Wide even entrance, automatic doors and graduated paths most areas. Steep steps in part of the castle and garden area. Refreshments: most closed at the moment, the site is large and we headed back to the cafe in the main building early afternoon and most of the food had run put. Shop: good range of goods, ££-£££ Staff and Volunteers: very friendly and helpful, but many not well versed in the exhibits, some were a mine of information. What to see: exhibits in the main building, houses from different centuries starting with reconstruction of an Iron Age Chieftons double roundhouse through to the 20th century. The Castke, Lord Plymouths Country Home and the Gardens. Delightful woods and a working farm. Adventure Playgrounds: forest adventure and several play areas. Areas for and suggestions for Improvement: 1. The map does not match the paths. 2. Waymarker posts are few and far between (they could also do with having the numbers on them). 3. Exhibition Centre was not in sequence and the information was puzzling at times, could do with location maps for some of the finds clearer and a little more detailed information sections. 4. Information we had a lot of questions in various sections and some guides knew veery little and the information was not in the guide files. Example, there was a fabulous full dinner service with gold rims in one farmhouse, but no information on any of the plate or in the guide file as to the manufacturer and no one the guide new to radio for the information. 5. The site is huge, most refreshment places were closed. We made our way down to the cafe and managed the last 3 sandwiches, plus Baba Brith and Welsh Cakes. The hot foid section was closed. Staff were lovely but we surprised at such a major attraction running out of food early afternoon. Suggestion trail a number of visitors or give them recording machines to see how they find their way around and what needs tweaking.

Amazing jewel in the crown of Welsh museums and missed by so many people. If visiting Cardiff, take the time to visit here, you will not be disappointed I guarantee it. There are a large number of historic buildings drawn from all over Wales and rebuilt here for your convenience. Next to these are many recreations, all wonderfully displayed in beautiful surroundings. Visited in spring and it was busy, I can only imagine how much more beautiful and therefore crowded it gets in summer. The staff, for the most part I found to be intelligent, friendly and knowledgeable about the house or building they are hosting for the day. There is so much to see and of course entry is free! They do charge for a map and actually this is recommended. It is a sprawling site and it is very easy to miss some of the exhibits. The main house also open to the public seems to have seen better days, very few rooms open to the public now, I could swear there was more access when I visited as a child. Absolutely fascinating though they really need to spend some money on the gardens of the main house, the greenhouses in particular really jar with the beautiful surroundings. This is in the works I was informed. There is a small street with shops, one exhibits only, the others working shops selling sweets and the like. Different sections seem to be seasonal so check in advance if your heart is set on a particular building. There is good access for those with mobility issues but be advised, some of the properties do not allow wheelchairs or pushchairs inside. In some areas this seemed a prudent move, in others a little over the top. But be prepared to walk, the site covers quite a few acres and can be muddy if wet. The cafe shop inside is reasonable but can get very busy. There is also a hideous child's play area near the main building. I get it, they need more revenue but the treetop walkway really distracts. There are other ways to engage children and this is a charged attraction. Overall, amazing and really strange this isn't more well known outside Wales. P.s. An amendment to my earlier review. The buses that used to go to st fagans, no longer do. Ignore the appalling information online, you will be left to switch buses in Ely or dropped off nearby where a dangerous 15min walk awaits on a small road. It's disgraceful, if you don't have a car forget it unless you want grief and if you have mobility issues and have no car, don't even attempt it. You have been warned.

Disappointed with my first visit here especially as my wife raved about it, don't get me wrong the setting is beautiful but the food and service let it down. I had the Cod goujons which were OK but like something from Iceland, certainly nit home made, the several fries I had would be suitable for any child's meal but certainly not an adult, the salad was pathetic and the peas were dried up to within an inch of their lives. Once the 45min wait for food was over we didn't see another waiter for drinks or checked if the meal was ok or if we needed anything like tartar sauce or any other condements as there werent any on the table as you can see its not like it was overly busy. On the whole the visit was poor which was disappointing as I really had high hopes for such a beautiful setting

Sunday lunch. Wow. Took an hour from when we arrived just to receive the starter. Good thing we weren’t starving. Soup and prawn cocktail which you would think was pretty quick to put together and serve. The prawn cocktail came with two slices of bog standard buttered supermarket bread. World’s tiniest Eton mess for dessert, it was laughable. The staff were friendly enough. Expected to have a scenic walk around the lake afterwards but there wasnt much of a walk to be had so we just left.

We chose Rhodri's by the lake for our mini Christmas wedding as it ticked all the boxes for what we were dreaming of. Warm and cosy interior with a stunning natural backdrop of a lake. We couldn't have asked for anything better. The venue was perfect and the staff were so professional, very helpful and accommodating to any of our requests. It was a very special and magical day. Thank you all at Rhodri's by the lake and Canada lodge and lake for all that you have done. Highly recommend.

Scenery fantastic very nice. Dogs welcome outside on the patio. Food ok but unfortunately service very very slow. Over 40 mins to be served a sandwich.!! I understand they may be short staffed but not overrun. Do you want customers.??? Staff doing there best.👏

Fantastic! There is so much detail in the structure and the history is from the 18th century . The building is one of the tallest and most colourful.

La Iglesia de San Teilo fue traída desde Llandeilo Tal-y-bont, cerca de Pontarddulais, Swansea. La base fue un templo celta y sufrió varias modificaciones y ampliaciones. Ahora está restaurada tal y como debía de ser alrededor del año 1530.
