Our stay in the beautiful Afan valley
It is a lovely apartment that met our needs. Beds were very comfortable and living room relaxing. Beautiful views from back of apartment. There are lovely walks for our dogs in the valley, it was only 15 minutes to the dog friendly end of the beach in Port Talbot. We had a great stay.

Simply Perfect!
My partner and I required somewhere to stay in the area at short notice, with a dog! Sarah was very quick to respond to me, and couldn't have been more helpful.
The place was very warm and cosy with the greatest views from the back bedroom and kitchen. There is a wonderful cafe and shop downstairs, with a great selection of yummy treats.
