Description

Greenheart Cottage is a delightful, four-bedroom holiday home nestled in the Welsh village of Pontrhydyfen.

Encompassed by the natural beauty of the surrounding hills, boasting off-road parking and a close proximity to the nearest shop and the River Afan, this charming abode is an idyllic spot for families, friends, or sharing couples seeking a refreshing escape to beautiful West Glamorgan.

Step into the reverse-level living spaces of Greenheart Cottage and be instantly enchanted by the first-floor living spaces, complete with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining room with ample seating, and a sitting area featuring an elegant woodburning stove and a Smart TV, serving as a perfect spot to relax and spend quality time with your loved ones.

Venture out to the raised courtyard on warmer evenings, where you can while away the hours taking in the sights and sounds of the countryside with a glass of wine in hand.

When you’re ready to retire for the night, four plush bedrooms await: a double bedroom, a ground-floor double bedroom, and two ground-floor twin bedrooms, all sumptuous and ready to whisk you off to a night of well-earned rest.

Start each day with a refreshing shower or a dip in the bath before you head out to explore the local area.

Set out on foot to discover the delights of Pontrhydyfen, a quaint village that offers a supermarket, a café, and the historic landmark of the Pontrhydyfen Aqueduct.When completed, in 1827, it was the largest aqueduct in Britain and, as an impressive engineering feat, became a local tourist attraction.Pontrhydyfen was the birthplace of Richard Burton, and the monument is also valued for iconic photographs showing the actor walking across the bridge.Today the bridge carries a path and cycleway.

Just a short drive away, you’ll find the larger towns of Port Talbot, Neath, and Bridgend, where you can explore their numerous sights, sounds and local attractions.

The magnificent Bannau Brycheiniog National Park is also just a brief car trip to the north, where you can take a hike in the mountains, admire the spectacular waterfalls, and stop by the region's abundance of cultural and ancient sites, such as Henrhyd Falls, Dinas Rock, and Ogof Fawr, all whilst soaking in the breathtaking vistas that span for miles.

Make memories with all your loved ones in Wales by booking Greenheart Cottage.

This is a great location for walking and mountain biking in the area as you can walk or ride straight out without needing to drive.

It has been done up to a good standard and has most things that you need. There is a large garage which is very useful if you have bikes. The hot tub and outside space is also great to relax in after a days activity. The only things that should be addressed is the garage roof needs to be waterproofed as water drips in when it rains or the hot tub is used. Also there was a shortage of sockets and side lamps in the twin room

This was a family holiday.

We were all extremely happy with the accommodation. There was plenty of room for all of us and with two bathrooms and a further guest toilet, this was perfect. The house is an upside down house and the scenic views from the sitting room were wonderful - like being in the Alps! The local history was fascinating and the aquaduct stunning. Greenheart Cottage is on the edge of some of the Afan Forrest walks and cycle routes. Very picturesque. The hot tub was a great success at the end of a hot and tiring day. Thankyou very much.
