Idyllic Location | Great for Groups

One king and two double bedrooms (one en-suite) comfortably sleep up to 6 guests, with a lounge with smart TV and speedy wi-fi, and great size kitchen for communal dining and entertaining downstairs.

A newly constructed tiered garden adjacent to the house offers a great outside space, with fantastic views of the Taf Fechan valley from inside and out.
Please note - we are in the process of completing the works on the outdoor spaces, to complete May 2024.

Despite our beautiful rural location, the nearest corner store and takeaway are only 5 mins away, and the nearest supermarket and petrol station are less than 15 minutes away should you need them. If you need anything else locally, we're happy to recommend!

Book now to avoid disappointment, we are very popular! - we hope to welcome you soon!

Liked: Cleanliness
Beautifully clean and appointed, if a little over the top with nick nacks on every available surface. Make absolutely sure you have the door entry code and wifi code before you arrive - there's no mobile signal at all there and we had some stressful moments trying to gain entry in the late afternoon. Wifi pretty much only works in the living room, where it mainly powers the very unusual streaming TV setup. Coffee machine takes some figuring out. Lovely walks nearby, through the old burial ground and up to the reservoir. All in all it was better than we expected although an extra c.20% for a cleaning fee seemed excessive. Drive carefully on the way there, winding narrow roads.
