About Fox And Hounds Llancarfan

Llancarfan is a quiet spot in the Vale of Glamorgan, within reach of Weston Seaquarium for a family day out and close enough to Rhoose Cardiff International Airport for an easy start or end to a trip. A nearby golf course adds another reason to base yourself here, and the village itself offers the kind of peaceful, countryside setting that makes a change from a city stay.

Fox And Hounds Llancarfan has eight rooms with en-suite bathrooms, comfortable beds and free WiFi, all kept clean and looked after by staff who are consistently described as friendly and attentive. There's a lift for easier access and 24-hour reception for flexible arrivals.

The restaurant and bar are a real draw, with generous, well-made food including Sunday roasts, fish and chips, and ox cheek pie, alongside an outdoor pizza oven that guests rate highly. Breakfast gets particular praise. Free on-site parking and a pets-welcome policy make it straightforward for those travelling with dogs or a car full of luggage, and the overall impression is of good value in a genuinely relaxed country setting.

We stayed 5 days in this lovely old pub. The food was delicious and plenty if it. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. It's in a beautiful quiet village and we were lucky enough to have some gorgeous evenings, sitting outside on the terrace which overlooks a stream and a church. The room was very comfortable and clean but due to the age of this building the stair case, up to the rooms, is a little steep if you aren't to good on your legs.

Fantastic food, great service - the chocolate cake is from another world! Amazing! So good that I ordered a second one…. 😬 Great garden area, pizza oven outside, clean inside and out, great food and very friendly staff. We will be back! Thank you!

Utterly perfect country pub lunch. We were so spoilt by the service of all staff members, welcoming, attentive and thoughtful throughout. Loved the interior, table, spacing and all the table settings. The food was spot on. We tried a good part of the menu- wonderfully crisp fish and chips, top notch pie with slow cooked beef cheek, juicy and tender steaks and a good looking burger. The portion size was a delight, generous but so not so much you overeat and regret it. Plenty of room for a round of desserts, 10/10 for the cheese plate and the ice creams. We’re so delighted we visited and making plans to return to finish the menu. Everything you’re looking for in a vale country gastro pub.
