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.

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.

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

Good location for trail
It was just the two of us staying with our dog, and found it the perfect location for long, winding walks. It was great fun discovering all the meandering pathways. Although the weather was quite damp while we were there, we stayed cosy in our cabin and had everything required for self catering. There is a tin roof, and being in the woods (and autumn) , it can be quite noisy with the dripping and also the nearby carriageway can be heard. However, once the TVs on snuggled up with hot choccie, it really didn’t matter. Great bathroom and comfy bed. Also very fast communication from Rachael who was very accommodating with my queries. Thank you for Rachael!
