About this property

Maesteg, Charming cottage in Beautiful Welsh countryside

From the moment you park your car and approach this property, you will feel like you have arrived somewhere very special. Maesteg, is an idyllic place to escape to a beautiful rural location yet just a short drive you will reach either the Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire coastline, or travel in the other direction to explore Ceredigion and the Preseli hills. It's the perfect spot to relax and unwind and explore all that West Wales has to offer.

Wonder through the pretty cottage door and enter the double reception with its centrepiece, a beautiful stone fireplace and log burner. There are several comfortable sofas and a Smart TV, and some board games, perfect for cosying up on an evening.

Enter through the original low level door into a modern and bright extended kitchen with dual aspect views from the dining area to the pretty garden and the far reaching hills to the other direction. The kitchen is well equipped with all mod cons including dishwasher and microwave.

The downstairs bathroom with a separate toilet, has a bathroom with shower over.

Leave the kitchen and wander through the pretty split level garden with a small pond. The gardens are a terraced delight with many shrubs and plants and wonderful views of the valley from the top of the garden, the previous owner was a gold winner at the Chelsea flower show 2011 with a garden titled ' postcard from South Wales'. Some areas of the garden have steep steps leading to the very top level.

Back inside the property and open the door to the quaint original staircase leading to the two double bedrooms on the first floor with beamed vaulted ceilings.

Cosy lil piece of loveliness
A lovely, quaint little cottage in a quiet diddy village. It is semi detached and the parking space is essentially a lay by but we drive a large suv and had farmers with big vehicles including combines get past with no issues whatsoever. The cottage is really well appointed and brilliantly quirky, the stairs may be a challenge for some but we and our 5 and 8 yr old boys had no problems. Kitchen had anything we needed and we adored eating around the kitchen table with the lovely sunny views of the brilliant garden. Our dog was a little apprehensive of the astroturfed lawn to begin with but settled quickly, she and the kids had a brilliant time exploring the twists and turns of the different levels in the garden and enjoyed sunning themselves on the loungers. The beds were super comfy and the upstairs loo is a stroke of genius (although we had to improvise a step for our youngest to reach it) we made the most of the gorgeous inglenook fireplace in the evening and were able to log in to watch Netflix and other streaming apps on the smart tv although there are plenty of dvd s provided too. The property is only 40 ish minutes from Tenby and it’s attractions and st clears (10 mins) there’s shops and a fantastic Indian which also delivers to the cottage. We had an amazing time at the cottage and regret we didn’t have enough time to investigate the lovely river walks locally. Would highly recommend!!

Lovely remote, COOL cottage
The cottage is very cosy. Living room is cosy with a large fireplace but plenty of space. The sofas are a bit tired but not a problem. We travelled during a 30°+ heat wave and the living room was very cool due to the stone walls which made it a very welcome place to be! The garden is lovely and full of secret paths for the kids but be warned, there is a pond exposed, so no good for toddlers. The area is fantastic with Pembrokeshire coast and loads of things for the kids. Only gripe is that there is no parking by the cottage other than a layby. There is a car park 150 yards up the road however which allows you to see some incredible scenery of the area, so absolutely this is not a negative overall. Worth mentioning that there is no TV signal or mobile coverage although there was broadband and WiFi available.
