Would recommend to any family visiting the area as the space is so big there is no chance of being cramped. " - "This place was amazing! If you are in need of some needed rest and relaxation then get booking now! Such a peaceful place yet close to amenities should you need or want them. The farm and it surrounds will delight you. I particularly loved having my morning coffee whilst watching the array of songbirds being active in the garden. Phil and Barbara are just lovely, very approachable and extremely helpful. The cottage we stayed in was very comfortable and was equipped with the same comforts of home. Rooms were spacious and every window revealed a beautiful view. We stayed in ‘The Lodge’. It was our first time there and it won’t be our last. Do yourself and your family/friends a favour and book your break now. You will not be disappointed!!"

- "Sarah’s house was clean, comfortable and had everything needed for a relaxing break. It also had the most amazing views. Such a great base for all we wanted to do. Spent days walking in the valley and exploring all the amazing beaches." - "We have enjoyed every minute of our stay in this accommodation. Would highly recommend as you won't be disappointed." - "We booked this as we wanted to try out some mountain biking as a family with three teenagers. The property is great, the TV projector and table football was great! There are two info centers for the bike trails and this property is located at the more advanced rides so it's its a ride down the valley (about 30 mins or so) on the old railway line to reach the other centre with blue and green runs. We did the blue runs first and then on the next day successfully did the local red runs but please don't underestimate the red runs - it's not easy! We also booked a gorge walking adventure with Hawk Adventures which was brilliant fun. It takes about 75 mins to drive to the beaches such as Rhossili (stunning beach). Property is really well done - there is nothing to do in the village though so take your Amazon firestick and play lots of table football! Different family holiday for us but we all really enjoyed doing something new. It's certainly a beautiful area."

Ex-miner's cottage made from stone & unexpectedly spacious with 3 floors. The cottage has a log burner to get cosy around. Blaengwynfi is a rural location but only 20 minutes from the beach with great fish n chips! Also close to Swansea & Cardiff if you fancy a bit of shopping. The Brecon Beacons are not too far and there are several castles and waterfalls to see as well as mountains to climb such as Pen-Y-Fan. The cottage is great for hiking, cycling, families and is also dog-friendly.
- "Very clean cottage with everything you need for a nice holiday. And even our Olde English Sheepdog enjoyed it!!" - "My family stayed in the property for over a month, while we explored Wales and visited some friends in the Swansea area. The small village up in the mountains was absolutely beautiful, and the check in process was simple with a lock box and independent arrival time. Lorna was responsive when we had questions and had reccomendations for exploring the area and restaurants.Anyone staying should plan on topping up the electric and gas immediately. We were aware of the pay as you go scheme, but 3 of us got to the property late on a Thursday and were out exploring all day Friday, and then left first thing Saturday (due to split arrival dates of our family) to stay in a hotel in London. Despite very minimal usage and no heating at all - When we returned Sunday the electric and gas were off, and the companies wouldn't take payment over the phone. Luckily you can pay at the post office just a few doors up, and I happened to get there with 1 minute to spare before closing. Not a problem but renters should be prepared. Also if you are renting for an extended visit know that laundry facilities are minimum of 20 minutes away and expensive.The accomodations are rustic but adequate.Everyone in the village was very friendly and accommadating.

Afan Valley Holiday Home is an old Miners Cottage, built in 1901 set in the beautiful village of Cymmer – in the heart of the spectacular Afan Forest Park.
The area is popular with Mountain Bikers & Hikers due to the array of tracks & trails in the area – we offer secure bike storage for your stay.
The cottage is situated midway between the stunning sea views of the Gower & the Brecon Beacons National Park – so you can wake up and decide which direction to drive to, or stay locally for a walk or a ride.
Aberavon Beach is a 13 miles away also – so beach days are very much possible as well as hill days.
Please do note, the cottage is on a main road, so road noise is likely during your stay.
Please note, there are no stairgates fitted so if you think they will be required please bring travel stairgates with you.
We will accept up to two well behaved dogs by prior arrangement, £20 per dog per stay & ask that any damage is compensated.
Please also note that this is our home away from home - The house is an old Miners Cottage, built in 1901 & is a fabulous slice of Welsh history in itself. It has uneven floorboards that creak a bit upstairs, an original staircase that's a little steeper than newer houses, original stained glass in some areas inside the cottage - it's a fun space that has character inside & out - but it is not a Boutique Hotel, so please do not expect the style & finish of one - we think it's cosy & a great place to relax after a day out on the hills and hope you do too.
- "Very good location."
