Beautiful cottage, lovely decorated. Dogs loved the cottage and walks around the grounds of the cottage. The fenced area at the front of the cottage is ideal and just across the yard is a field you can let the dogs loose if need be. The location is also ideal for getting to visit different areas of South Wales.

Lovely stay at The Cottage for a long weekend, which has the amenities you need. Perfect for exploring nearby Neath and Swansea. A few minor points about the property - 1, check the fridge controls. They were set to off inside the fridge, even though it was plugged in and the light was on! Thankfully we noticed it in enough time to save our food! 2, the property is dog-friendly but there is no door separating the lounge/kitchen from the stairs/upstairs bedroom so you'll need to bring a baby gate to stop furry friends from wandering up! 3, The property is very remote (even for Wales!) and at the top of a long winding hill - lovely views though!
