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.

All is not as it seems.
Firstly I would like to say the host was helpful when we needed help with Internet login. And the decor was lovely however We were disappointed with the location and the outside sitting area. We had chosen this property over others because it looked as though it had a lovely space to sit and enjoy the outside. Sadly it wasn't quite how the picture looks and it wasn't clean. Inside looked really nicely decorated however it wasn't clean. We had to clean all the kitchen items before we could use them. Floors and sides were dirty. Kettle we didn't use as it was filthy inside and out. We used a pan to boil water instead. It came apparent when reading the rules in the welcome pack that you have to strip the bed put rugs and tea towels in a basket and sweep the floor before you leave. So it seems the place is only as clean as the last person left it!!! I am all for leaving a place tidy before you leave but this seems to be so that they don't have to clean!! Bedding was fresh and clean though and the bed was comfortable. There was a nice little welcome bottle of wine and coffee and Welsh cakes but sadly there wasn't the basics like salt and pepper and considering its a place meant for upto four people frying pan and things are so small. It's not so quite either of a Sunday being so near to the football club and the A470. Sadly won't be returning
