About this property
Miner's Cottage South Wales Pool Table Log Burner Mountain Views
Ex-miner's cottage made from stone & unexpectedly spacious with 3 floors. The cottage has a log burner to get cosy around. Blaengwynfi is a rural location but only 20 minutes from the beach with great fish n chips! Also close to Swansea & Cardiff if you fancy a bit of shopping. The Brecon Beacons are not too far and there are several castles and waterfalls to see as well as mountains to climb such as Pen-Y-Fan. The cottage is great for hiking, cycling, families and is also dog-friendly.

About the host
Hosted by Lorna Garratt
I love to hear about the fun things the guests have been doing whilst at the cottage. I always hope you enjoy staying there as much as me and my family do.
I am from the Midlands which is a distance from the beach but when I go to the cottage with my family we can reach the beach in 20 minutes.
I love to walk my dog and I enjoy finding new places to do this in South Wales. In fact, there are several fabulous walks right on the doorstep of the cottage, including an old railway line which is popular with the locals.

Why they chose this property
South Wales is beautiful, I never get tired of the mountains and the waterfalls whilst walking with my dog & children. The nearby beaches are long and sandy. We love to visit Swansea marina with a spot of lunch and a trip to the LC with its wave pool and water slides. We love to explore Cardiff too famous for its Victorian & Edwardian arcades and a trip to Cardiff International White Water. The Brecon Beacons are nearby with some lovely towns, a trip on the Brecon mountain railway and the four waterfalls walk. Don’t forget to visit the castles too, Caerphilly and Coch are beautiful.
What makes this property unique
The views of the mountains are amazing. You can sit and watch the sheep grazing. The cottage is modern but has kept some traditional charm such as the stone fireplace & log burner. There is a pool table and dart board too for those quiet, rainy days.
