Beautiful place to walk in Cardiff. Parking available but limited so I would imagine it gets full at peak times. Good coffee from cafe, good range of food to choose from and lovely place to sit and watch the world go by inside and out. Great quality food at reasonable prices. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Dogs are not allowed around the reservoir which is a shame but understandable. Lots of water based activities to choose from at a reasonable cost. A fantastic facility in Cardiff that I really hope thrives!

Annoying to have to pay for parking and there isnt much space but nice new cafe and stroll round the resovoir
