The name is more than a little misleading. There's nothing remotely olde worlde or retrospective about this up-to-the-minute restaurant with rooms. What was once the post office in the picturesque village of St Fagans on the fringes of Cardiff is now a restaurant with a cosmopolitan, contemporary look serving accomplished cuisine that mirrors the surroundings. The Old Post Office is a place of today. Its fresh, clean lines and distinct lack of clutter create a cool, sophisticated ambience. The look extends into the bedrooms. Forget cosy Welsh and chintz. There's not a traditional tapestry bedspread in sight. Instead, the Old Post Office offers rooms that are exceptionally well equipped and thoughtfully designed, but with clean, functional lines that are more reminiscent of Scandinavia than South Wales. There's another big attraction too. Fans of Welsh Rarebits will have noticed that up until now we've not featured a place to stay in Wales's capital &endash; simply because we couldn't find one that measured up! With the Old Post Office, guests have the best of all worlds &endash; excellent, great-value accommodation just a few minutes from the city centre, yet in one of Wales's prettiest villages on the edge of the lovely Vale of Glamorgan. And it's ironic to think that this new breed of restaurant with rooms is located next door to the traditional farmhouses, chapels and rural workshops that stand in the grounds of St Fagans' famous Museum of Welsh Life. Your host is Kevin Tarr and the chef is Wesley Hammond.   (Euros) Daily Rates On Request   Beantragen Su Richiesta   "The Old Post Office", St Fagan's, Cardiff Wales,Great Britain Accommodations in Wales
