Set on the edge of Afan Forest with miles of trails and woodland walks from the door. After a day outdoors, store bikes safely in the private garden shed with CCTV coverage for added peace of mind. Practical, secure and ready for adventure.

About the host
Hosted by linda Diane vicker
I am from Bridgend South Wales. I have been hosting for 7 years. I enjoy making the experience for the guests as pleasant as possible, helping them create special memories for them and fellow travelers.
Why they chose this property
I choose this area not just because I am familiar with it (which I am ) but because there are so many places to visit for great days out for all the family. Stunning beaches. Historic castles, Parks and gardens, great places to eat, and events.
What makes this property unique
It truly is a home from home, It has everything you need for a great stay, close to amenities but far enough away to ensure a peaceful stay .
