Rachael was an excellent host and easy to communicate with .We found the cabin clean and comfortable and it suited our 2 night stay for an event in Cardiff centre ( 20mins away by car) The Taff trail can be joined just outside if you want to walk and there are a couple of nice pubs and a Co-op in Taffs Wells itself .

We had a lovely stay here, the location was perfect for getting around South Wales, and we visited Cardiff, Cardiff Bay, Brecon Beacons, and St Fagans Museum - all within easy driving distance. The accommodation itself was perfect for us (four adults), with a large sofa bed and double bed. A very cosy place, with all you'd need for cooking, resting, and relaxing including TV with various streaming services and beautiful outdoor areas for morning cups of tea :)

Quiet little spot in the valleys

This is ideal for 1-2 people needing a quiet spot. It is tucked away off the Taff trail and east walking to the lovely pubs in the village. Rachael is excellent to work with.

Lovely spot right on the taff trail. The accommodation was really nice. We had clear communication which made it a stress free arrival. Waiting for us was wine and Welsh cakes which were a really lovely touch. The dog loved walking straight out of the gate and into the woods.

Late notice break was beautiful

Literally booked this the day before we arrived, found it easily enough, completely off the beaten track, lovely and quiet, really lovely little place, ample big enough for a family, plenty to do in the area. 20 mins or so from Caerphilly and Cardiff, plenty of places to eat or shop, just had a really nice time. Cut short by some issues at home but we'll definitely be back for longer next time. Thanks for accomodating us.

Natur, Burgen, Kultur

Unter Bäumen, direkt am Taff Trail liegt das "The Old Art & Coffee House". Eine liebevoll eingerichtete Unterkunft, die auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt sehr gut ausgestattet ist. Nur wenige Kilometer entfernt können Castles besucht werden. Cardiff kann bequem mit dem Zug erreicht werden. Im Theater sahen wir die "The Chicago Blues Brothers" und "Thank you for the music". Da wir es geschafft haben, aus dem Escap e Room herauszufinden, konnten wir am Strand von Barry Island die Sonne genießen. Einige Tage verbrachten wir auf dem Süd-Wales-Küstenpfad. Der Taff Trail ist als ehemalige Eisenbahnstrecken ideal als Joggingstrecke geeignet. Wir begegneten vielen Joggern und Radfahrern. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Cosy in the woods!

Enjoyed our stay in this comfortable well appointed cabin in the woods. Property was as advertised and spacious for 2 people.. We used the sofa bed as well as the double and found them both comfortable. . TV via Firestick was fine for us. There is a decent level of kitchen equipment and we were very happy to find the heating was set at a comfortable level and provided a cosy environment .. We loved the woodland location and being near the Taffs Trail. - not so busy in November . If it rains the sound is quite loud on the metal roof but that was not a problem for us. Rachael was easy to deal with and prompt with responses. We were very grateful for her detailed directions to the property which we found with ease. We definitely hope to return.

Lovely Cottage

This was a quirky but lovely place to stay for a weekend in Wales. Well equipped, quaint arty features everywhere you look, strangely remote but also sort of busy with walkers, joggers and cyclists passing on the Taff Trail! All in all a lovely feel, hard to describe, would definitely recommend this property. While you're there Castle Coch is must see.

Lovely area setting. Nice welcome touch of Wine @ Welsh cakes. Meet the owner who was lovely and helpful. Slight down fall, property had a tin roof so quite noisy when rained and it was a little chilly at night.
