House holiday rentals in Torfaen Principal Area

Private & peaceful location, beautiful surroundings and friendly hosts. Great experience overall👍

We spent a fabulous couple of days at The Forge. The place is as described - very comfortable and fully equipped for an escape to the countryside. We loved the thoughtful welcome basket of goodies too. Set in extensive grounds and with plenty of local walking, it was a chance to completely unwind and relax. A big thank you to Mel, the property manager, who provided full and clear information and was friendly and responsive to our queries.

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 :)

We stayed for two nights and felt relaxed and calm. From star gazing to playing garden croquet, we filled our time. The pool was great but be warned it’s cold! Once you’re in you are fine but it takes a few minutes to get submerged. What was really thoughtful, and much appreciated, was the home-made scones on arrival. Maureen and William were very sociable and very kind. We would love to visit again.

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!

Spacious and comfortable house for our family of 6 during a rainy February half term. The main reason to rent this place was the pool and sauna which didn’t disappoint and was great for our kids. There is a builder’s merchant right next door to the house which isn’t obvious from the photos but was not a particular problem with respect to noise etc. Lots of great walks nearby - which we will have to rediscover in the future in better weather! Thanks to Phoebe and the owners for making us feel welcome and for being available and responsive to our questions.

We had an a amazing stay. The home was so comfortable. I was visiting with 7 friends so they set all the room as single beds which was perfect for us. The pool was so nice and we enjoyed an evening swim while watching movies on the projector. The area is so peaceful and there are some lovely pubs nearby such as the litton. I would love to visit again!

Great place and great location

The house was very comfortable with everything we needed. The host answered all our questions promptly. There was useful information about what to do and where to eat. We had a great time celebrating a significant birthday with family and friends, in a very pretty part of Wales.

the host was lively and great with the kids. she went out of her way to welcome us and get us comfortable in the property. she two wonderful dogs too which were fun to fuss over! a great stay and would recommend and stay again...

Very good value for money, comfy beds and well located.

absolutely spotless linen beds were excellent. everything you need was provided in the kitchen . was perfect. great hosts very responsive if I ever need to stay here again would not hesitate to book. many thanks

We have just returned from a stay here whilst we visited our son at Cardiff Uni and family in Gloucestershire. The house is well located for proximity to the M4 Newport and Cardiff particularly . It was dog friendly . There is a fenced area at the bottom of the garden and a park nearby for walks . Parking is on a side street . We had no problem finding a park on it and we were back and forth frequently . The house is next to a very busy A road and the front bedroom is noisy as a result but coming from London that didn’t bother us particularly . The proximity to a fish and chip shop, Greggs, Tesco extra and sub zero ice cream parlour was most welcome ! The owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with when we needed help with a couple of small issues .

fantastic family farm with amazing hosts. lovely cottage with great views. we stayed there for 8 weeks and it was a great experience. would highly recommend, we will certainly be staying again in the future.

I enjoyed staying at Gillian's cottage and I want to return . There is a cycle path nearby which I want to explore on lighter evenings.

Beautiful house perfect for family holidays. Loved lazy days out with kids on the kayaks & rowing boat! Would definitely recommend. Alex was a great host & very helpful. Will definitely be back again one day…

It was a lovely house and well presented.

What a treat to stay at Dipu’s place in Blaenavon! It was a good, comfortable space for our family of 6 and there was lots of parking on the street outside. We enjoyed exploring the heritage centre in Blaenavon, hiking up the Sugarloaf via St Mary’s Vale and then sampling the locally sourced coffee and pastries at the newly opened Welsh General Store round the corner.

We had a fantastic stay here - an immaculately decorated little cottage, very comfy and a pleasure to be inside 💛

lovely clean home from home. Great distance from local walks and you have to check out Cwmcarn Forest drive, beautiful views and Forest walks at each car park. Ruth couldn't do enough to make sure we were happy with our stay. Thank you Ruth xx

We stayed at Lyndon’s beautiful cottage for the weekend, which had fantastic access to the ICC Wales, where myself and my friend were competing (ATHX). The perfect spot to relax - we loved the bbq and the added little touches! Thank you!

Very responsive host. House was very lovely inside and included custom artwork by the host and hosts father! Pool/table tennis table is a nice addition. Very thoughtful amenities in the house. They even messeged us to say we could have a later checkout if we wanted!
