House holiday rentals in Aberdare

I cannot overstate how amazing this place is. I was looking for an escape into the woods and it was exactly what I wanted. The setting of the cottage is stunning, right on the river and surrounded by trees. It feels remote, even though it's only a short walk into the village. The welcome was really friendly, you can tell that the owners are very active in their community and have put together loads of local info. I particularly liked the map of the community forrest which made me feel confident enough to explore walks by myself. The cottage itself is beautifully kept, with everything that you need, and then some. I didn't want to leave.

Emma was a fantastic host! Her house was amazing and we felt right at home! She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and we even had some little extras like access to the garden and a late check out. We want to come back as soon as we can! A perfect weekend away with our best friends and kids. 🥰😍

Wonderful place and fantastic hosts which made everyone feel so welcome and were brilliant at communicating with us. Location is perfect to walk to the pubs in Cowbridge then is perfect for a quiet nights sleep just away from the main high street. We will certainly be back! Thanks so much :)

Such a lovely place to stay. We only booked for two nights and wish we had been there for longer. Lots of really interesting features (a suit of armour! A harp!) in a well stocked house. Very comfortable beds and sofas, beautiful views (we especially enjoyed all the bird nesting in the eaves), gorgeous interior, starry Dark Skies and nice hosts - what's not to love? Great parking. Wish we could have had a few more nights, to check out the pub just down the road.

Booked for a 50th birthday celebration and reunion. A great time was had by all! Lois was around to meet and greet and the items provided for breakfast was an unexpected but very welcome surprise! Thanks for a great stay Lois!

Such a lovely place for our multigenerational family to enjoy the long weekend together. The highlights were definitely the pool and the large lounge where we spent lots of time together but didn't feel ontop of each other! Richard's excellent communication added to the overall positive experience. We highly recommend this cottage!

Lovely cosy chalet with lots of different and interesting touches eh sheep cushions, Welsh artefacts. Everything we needed was in the chalet .It was very relaxing and homely. Julie was friendly and helpful, and was quick to respond to messages.She asked us if we needed anything during our stay. Enjoyed our stay at Ty Gwyr at Gower Holiday Village. We hope to return next year.

Amazing value for money. We stayed in Oak cottage and it was very spacious and had the most beautiful views! The pool and hot tub were such a brilliant addition. Danielle was a brilliant host and very responsive. We will definitely be back again, thank you so much!

Awesome find, awesome find, awesome host, just perfect defo will be staying here again next time I finish thank you for all the recommendations Martyn couldn’t have asked for any more 10/10

Everything was great ! Just the toilet a little small ! Love this place and the little mini garden !

Great location with lovely views. We stayed for our wedding and Lucy was very accommodating with deliveries etc dropping things off in the morning. Lucy's place was very clean and had all the amenities you could want. A great place!

Honestly one of the best Air BnBs we have stayed in. The place is stunning and the pictures do not do it justice. it has everything you need. Quiet location, easy to park and find. Close to amenities. Kate is attentive and answers any questions and helps. if I could give higher than 5 stars I would. Amazing place ❤️❤️

Lovely home, comfy beds, perfect for our needs. Really enjoyed our stay. Perfect for accessing Bike Park Wales. Well equipped and lovely attention to detail.

Fantastic house! Very clean and tidy, comfy beds, fresh towels and all the basics like milk, tea/coffee, shampoo etc which just made everything so easy. Very close to town less than 5 min walk plenty of restaurants, take away, pubs and shops/newsagents. Easy parking on side road and Alison was very helpful and responsive. Close to Pen y Fan and Waterfall walk as well as lots of other attractions. Felt safe as 3 women travelling and really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed the night the house was very nice and clean and stylish. The location was really good with loads of parking outside the house is actually a lot bigger than the photos. We had a great time and appreciated the tea bags, washing up liquid Which was that thoughtful. I would say it’s a home from home which is what we wanted. Thank you

Great place to spend the night between trips to Cardiff and to Penderyn. The house is sparkling clean, well furnished, easy to find, easy to park. Many usb slots in the leaving room : always helpful. But the surroundings are a bit ugly and there’s nothing much to do at a walking distance. We tried to go for a run in the forest but it was full of wastes.

Lovely interior and friendly responsive hosts. Grateful for the pastries and coffee provided by the hosts cafe next door.

This was a very spacious home with all the amenities and well-equipped kitchen. The surrounding area is beautiful and has great walks and views nearby. The communication by Natasha was excellent and she even gave perfect suggestions for things to do when asked. We only stayed for one night but this place has everything to stay for a longer duration. Definitely recommend it if you want to explore Brecon beacons.

The photos do not do the Drydock Cottage justice - it is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos and also a lot more spacious. The attention to detail and every element of the design that has gone into the conversion of this building is second to none. The location is also absolutely perfect - so peaceful, tucked away in gorgeous grounds with a view straight out onto the canal and across over the valley to the mountains beyond. I could have sat and watched the world go by, including the families of ducks, all day. The home made goodies were very welcoming and I loved every minute of my stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place for people looking to escape to somewhere unique and peaceful.

A lovely, spacious property in a good location for walking waterfall country. The kitchen is well appointed and the space was very clean and comfortable. Thank you!

Clean and spotless laminate flooring downstairs, new carpet upstairs, clean linen, equipment, and utensils. Very well equipped. Flexible check-in and check-out. Excellent communication and quick response. Highly recommend it.

Thank you so much for our stay, the house was perfect for us and everything inside was beautiful. We were all taking interior design tips! Beds were so comfortable and the location was nice and quiet for a relaxing weekend. Kitchen had everything we needed too. The whole stay was so easy. I’d definitely return with my husband, baby and two Labradors!

This is a fantastic place to stay. Marc was extremely friendly and had a good chat on check in. Excellent host. He had lots of local recommendations, walks and food. Basically the place was perfect and the great value. Stayed in some rubbish cabins that were double the price of this house. It’s a great location to base yourself. I’d thoroughly recommend and would like to return sometime for a longer stay. There wasn’t really any negatives.

Really enjoyed our stay. Tracey and Bob are super friendly and helpful. Would strongly recommend you pop next door and say hello. The house is beautiful and has everything you need. Treorchy is well positioned for trips to the Brecons. We also drove down to Barry Island in less than an hour and Cardiff on the train for less than £10 each. We ate out a couple of times, once at the Cardiff Arms Bistro which was ok and once at the Glamorgan Bar & Grill where the food was excellent. We had breakfast at the Old School Tea Room which you really must visit, breakfast was top notch . The Pencelli Hotel re-opened the day we left but looked lovely. Would definitely recommend staying here as a base to check out the area. Locals were all really friendly and helpful.
