| Customer Reviews: Good for tourists, but lacking detail August 25, 2010 Choccy B (Cardiff, UK) I'll keep this simple. For a tourist, especially one mainly visiting Wales' highlights, this would be great. As a Cardiff resident, I can say the information is very good, accurate and even makes me excited about doing things I haven't done in my own city! The restaurant reviews are pretty damn good too. However, it lacks the kind of detail that someone on a long holiday would want eg I spent a week in Pembrokeshire near St Davids, for which I found the guide gave me a good taste of what it would be like, but once on holiday I found only about 3 pages to be of use. Maps are average. Not great on holiday walks
Cardigan - not quite as good as the listing June 1, 2009 Mr. B. J. Weatherup (UK) 7 out of 35 found this review helpful
One thing I'd like to mention - especially with regard to the entry for Cardigan - what time of year was the review done in? - as Cardigan on a cold wet evening in mid May is fairly desperate - especially with the current credit crunch/recession - with about a third of the high street dead & dusted; how log ago was it? - which I think the previous entry cover - and with regards to the B&B I stayed in - had they actually stayed in a single room at any of the places listed? - in this particular instance the en-suite barely having and room to swing the proverbial feline - and the bed being really only fit for a child as it was that narrow.
