We absolutely loved our stay here. Lydia was amazing and super response we got stuck in traffic and arrived later than expected but Lydia was still happy to greet us. The hot tub was lovely and warmed up for our arrival 😁Everything we needed was there for us 🙌🏻 We had the most relaxing and peaceful stay to celebrate my partners 40th. Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back 🥰

266 Cottage, 4* LOGFIRE, HOTTUB, B'Q,PLAYGD,LOCKUP

LouisaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We’ve just returned from the most delightful short break in a beautiful college cottage tucked away in the heart of Wales. The cottage itself was a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comfort — tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean, and full of character. Surrounded by rolling hills and the peaceful sounds of nature, it felt like a true escape from the everyday. This little haven gave us the peace and quiet we craved, along with the warmth and welcome of a truly special place. We left feeling rested, inspired, and already dreaming of our return xx

What a lovely little country retreat, peaceful and restful yet with plenty to do on your doorstep. The walk to the country pub, through the village was a highlight. The kids loved the horses, rope swing and of course jacuzzi. We will definitely stay again.

Self/Cont 5* Studio Flat + extra bath & bedroom

AlistairRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Mike was the perfect host, very friendly and helpful, even gave us a bottle of wine as we arrived very late and to save us from having to find the nearest Tesco Express which was due to close. The accommodation is spotless spacious and even though you are sharing his place you only see Mike if you want to. There was some milk and fresh orange juice in the fridge on arrival so coffee in the morning great. Mike is a wonderful host and I’m sure everyone who stays with him will have a very pleasant stay

The Bothy Cottage @ Oak Farm

KimRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We’ve stayed in lots of Airbnb places over the years and Oak Farm is up there with the best. We had a fantastic week with Alicia & Chris being excellent and friendly hosts. They went out of their way to make our stay extremely comfortable and they were very generous with their time and the extras they provided. The location is superb with outstanding views across the hills, we spent many happy hours sitting in the Sun loungers reading. It’s also a great location for exploring the wonderful hills around Abergavenny . Our dog loved it too with a secure area of woodland for him to play and explore we would love to return one day and will be recommending this place to our friends and family . Thank you Alicia and Chris.

Modern spacious townhouse

ClareRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Needed a place to stay for our group of friends to watch the rugby, Danny's place was just what we needed, room for us all, & within walking distance, weather permitting, of millennium stadium, large taxis cheap enough, if not. Like staying at a mate's house but your mate's not there 🤣 Great pub about 10 minutes away, The Lansdowne. Easy check in & out. Danny was very responsive to all our needs.

Great place plenty of space inside. Kitchen was done lovely bathrooms nice. Location great for the front near beach and close to restaurants at hill street. Comfortable beds quiet in the evenings.

We felt right at home during our 2-week stay. Lively neighborhood with several grocery stores, lots of restaurants and a bus stop nearby. City centre is about 25-30 minutes away by walking. Cathy and Donna were quick to answer all our questions. Hot water in the shower was a bit inconsistent sometimes, but otherwise, no complaints.

GabrielaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
You can't beat this location ! Our stay was absolutely amazing from the moment we booked. The host was incredibly accommodating and friendly for us since we arrived, which we really appreciated. The place is tucked away in a charming, friendly neighborhood that felt both peaceful and convenient. It’s close to everything we needed. The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and cozy. The thoughtful touch we loved was Emma’s charm —she really made us feel at home. I highly recommend staying here. It truly made our trip to Cardiff even more special and enjoyable :)
