“What a fantastic house in peaceful location.”

The family loved it here and we would certainly recommend it. So much space inside. There were 2 downstairs rooms we did not need to use at all. We were mainly in the large entrance space, kitchen and dining area, moving into the TV room once the kids were in bed. Great having so many bathrooms Wonderful outside space for the children and the dog. A real luxury having the hot tub. Shops for groceries not far away. Coast not too far away. We went to Ogmore beach and castle also to Merthyr Mawr Reserve where I climbed the Big Dipper. We also went in the other direction to Waterfall Country. James was a great host and responded immediately to us when we contacted him. I wish we’d stayed longer, many places around we did not get time to visit. Thanks so much we would definitely come back.

“Coytrahen House is a fantastic property in an idyllic setting.”

Comfy beds, hot showers and great spaces for the family to relax together. We enjoyed the hot tub, cooking on the BBQ and watching the peacocks. A super base to visit beaches a 25 min drive away like Rest Bay and Ogmore, plus Bike Park Wales was reachable for some excellent mountain biking. James was a great host and we hope to be back someday.

“Our stay in Coytrahen House was wonderful.”

We were a party of two families enjoying a holiday together and it provided the most wonderful base of operations. The location is spectacular - near enough to Cardiff to whip into the city to enjoy civilisation, but when you're sat on the bench looking at the view, you feel remote in the best way possible. The hosts couldn't have been better - met us on arrival, to show us the ropes, but then were very hands off. Only seeing them when they checked on the hot tub (which was much appreciated). There's enough space for almost any activity you care to think of. Board games in the dining room, family meals at the long table, movie-watching sessions in the family room... and all of the bedrooms were delightful. It's big enough also, that if some of your party want their own space, there are plenty of nooks to find some quiet time. If you're looking for downsides, there are a lot of steps - but it's a sympathetically restored old building, so you'd expect it. My disabled daughter managed just fine, and is champing to return for another break in the peaceful Welsh countryside. TLDR: Gorgeous cottage, brilliantly located in wonderful grounds and superbly appointed. We'll be back!
