About this property
James' Place Dowlais self Catering Studio 5 Gelert
Come and crash for less at our fabulous self catering studio, based in Caeharris, Dowlais. Just a few minutes from Merthyr Town Centre, Bike Park Wales and the Brecon Beacons National Park.
The Studio is fully furnished with a double bed, desk, flat screen TV, free Wi-Fi, Bistro Table and Sofa. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need (and some things you may not!). There is ensuite hsh9wer room.
This studio is on the 2nd floor.
Dogs are allowed on request and there is a small charge per dog per stay. There is also the facility to store bikes. They can be locked in the main hallway if you bring your own padlock and chain. Alternatively we are happy for you to store your bikes in your studio providing they are clean.
James' Place @Dowlais offers 7 individually and creatively styled self-catering studios.
They are ideally placed for exploring the Brecon Becons, climbing Pen-Y-Fan or visiting Bike Park Wales amongst many of the other great activities in the area or for working away from home.
They are only a 5mins drive from the town centre and there is a bus stop right outside which can take you to the main train and bus station.
Each studio has a separate but en-suite Kitchenette with all the essentials plus en-suite Shower-Room.
We also provide a few surprising luxuries with complimentary toiletries, a pint of milk and freshly baked home-made welsh cakes to welcome you to Wales.
Dogs are allowed on request and there is a small charge per dog per stay.

About the host
Hosted by Host
At James' Places we like to offer you individually styled accommodation that is unique and a bit quirky.
The property is located within the town of Merthyr Tydfil so is in a town setting but within a minutes drive of The Brecon Beacons, Pen Y Fan, Bike Park Wales, The Four Water Falls and Zip World. This gives you the benefit of being next door to the countryside but all close to the shops, restaurants and pubs.
Enjoying your stay is our main priority so we send out a list of suggested things to do and our favourite places to eat to help you make the most of your time with us with the confidence that these activities and places to eat have our seal of approval.
We love our dogs so we are delighted to welcome them to.
We are a family run business and have been operating since 2016 and have 4 houses and 14 studios at different locations around Merthyr Tydfil. We have a loyal team who have been with us since the beginning and their priority is also to make you happy.
