Cottage vacation rentals in Merthyr Cynog

Lovely stay, stunning gardens - would have been good to know there are other holiday lets immediately next to the property the listing does give the impression it’s totally isolated but thankfully there were no guests in the other houses while we were there.

Jamie & Dan are very fortunate to have this beautiful property. It is the ideal country location for escaping away and distancing yourself from our increasingly busy lives. The gardens around the property are stunning, the views are incredible and the local area is amazing to explore on foot, bike or by car. We had an amazing stay and would happily return, and have already started to recommend to friends & family

This place is so lovely! Host Meng was so kind, even putting some beautiful flowers in the cottage for my birthday ❤️ the view is spectacular, it's one of the most peaceful places I've been. Hot tub is great fun, the kitchen has got everything you need including washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. The bed was comfy, plug sockets everywhere you'd want them and usb sockets. It was great to see how dog friendly the place is with throws for the couch, fenced garden and fixed stairs gates. I highly advise popping into Jolter Press Cider bar/shop and getting some food from the local Chinese takeaway. Also a walk to St Anthony's Well, there's some step incline/declines on the walk there but it's beautiful and you have to take a dip! We also went to the Three Choirs Vineyard that was beautiful and good fun too. I would definitely come back and I think it would be equally beautiful in any season, our summer trip was fantastic but I'd love to see it in autumn or winter too.

What a wonderful time we had on our honeymoon. Sarah was an incredible host and we had such a warm welcome. Once checked in Sarah was available via text but left us to enjoy our time. The house was really clean and beautifully decorated, it has everything we needed and we were able to cook in the lovely kitchen. There was lots to do around the area including national trusts and plenty of dog walks. The garden and hot tub were bliss and we really felt as though we were on a luxury break. The bedrooms and bathrooms were roomy and very comfortable, and the brightness in the front room and kitchen was so beautiful. We would absolutely return and loved meeting Sarah, would highly recommend this air b&b. It was perfect in every way!

I would honestly have loved to have moved in, such a peaceful and beautiful place, the stay was for our anniversary and it didn’t disappoint at all, constant communication whenever we needed to discuss anything and the property was honestly very impressive, lovely stay and would definitely recommend to friends.

This stay was amazing, perfect to relax and switch off

It was a lovely peaceful place to stay had a fantastic time relaxing and taking in the beautiful surroundings

Incredible place! We had a lovely couple of nights here. The house is full of character and has everything you need and the enclosed garden was great for our young daughter and dogs. Very peaceful location so sitting in the hot tub in the evenings was very relaxing. The added bonus of access to the river at the bottom of the garden was great! Will checked us in and gave us some suggestions of local walks and things to do which was ideal. Would highly recommend!!

My friend and I had a great weekend staying at Granary Cottage 1. It was bigger than we expected, very comfortable, the surroundings are beautiful, great to have the old tea barn on site! We did lots of walking straight from the cottage, it is in a fab location. Antony was really helpful with any queries we had, we definitely recommend staying here.

A wonderful collage for anyone seeking peace and quiet in the countryside. The location is perfect for exploring the Brecon Beacons, with numerous scenic walks and hiking trails within a 15-minute drive. The surroundings are serene, with beautiful rural views and a sense of calm. Helen and Stacie were welcoming and thoughtful hosts. Thank you both for a fantastic stay!

We had a fantastic week at Aberdar. The weather was amazing all week, so we spent our time outside enjoying the garden, orchard and stream, and sitting at the various seating areas to avoid the wind if it got too strong. We only made 3 trips away from Aberdar.. a stunning part of Wales and it was hard to put the camera down. A pleasure to drive on the pothole free roads and we hardly saw anyone apart from friendly farmers. Our anxious rescue dog was very happy enjoying the space and he was relaxed all week, as were we. Aberdar has it all.. very clean and homely, very well equipped with everything we needed, useful information file provided for guests, beautiful views and loved hearing the sheep, cows and stream. If you are tall, remember to duck when going through the doorways.. we kept forgetting! This was a very special trip for us and we will be returning!

Lovely clean spacious with great choice of bed linen. Soak and sleep white cotton. Comfortable beds. Great shower downstairs. I didn’t use the upstairs one to say. Well stocked kitchen Lovely coffee machine Peaceful with good outdoor space.

The perfect little hideaway for a few days. If it’s character you’re looking for you can’t go wrong with Covey Cottage! Perfectly peaceful and secluded and lovely, friendly hosts. I’d definitely recommend.

We had a brief but awesome stay. We loved the fireplace and fresh eggs and wish we could have stayed longer to explore the natural beauty of the surrounding area.

We had a lovely time staying in Brecon! The house was brilliant and really cosy when we got the fire going. Parking wasn’t an issue which was our only potential concern, but we got parked so close it wasn’t a problem. Really recommend this property to stay if you are looking for a great holiday in a stunning part of wales!

We stayed at Nannerth Ganol for two nights starting on June 2nd, and it’s taken us a little while to write this review—not because we didn’t love it, but because we wanted to do it justice. Mike, the host, was absolutely fantastic—so welcoming, kind, and incredibly helpful with recommendations for places to see. The location is stunning and peaceful, the perfect place to relax and unwind. We felt more rested than we have in a long time and slept so well—everything was just perfect. We took the mountain road to Aberystwyth via Devil’s Bridge and returned through the breathtaking Elan Valley dams. The scenery was unforgettable and loads of red kites. We truly didn’t want to leave and are already planning our return. Next time, we will order one of your pizzas as we've heard they're brilliant and walk some of the routes you told us about. We’ll be recommending Nannerth Ganol to everyone and thank Mike for making it such a beautiful place to stay and being the perfect host.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with freshly baked bread and a thoughtful basket of goodies — such a personal and generous touch. The space itself was beautiful, cozy, and spotless, with every detail carefully considered. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was our hostess. She was incredibly kind and welcoming — warm, helpful, and genuinely caring. It’s clear she puts her heart into making her guests feel completely at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return. Highly, highly recommended!

Lovely cottage in the Welsh countryside! Soooo cosy, clean and everything you need to feel at home. Perfect starting point for exploring the beautiful Welsh landscape! Communication with Emma and her husband has always been easy and helpful!

Beautiful piece of tranquility. Carol’s place is situated close to everywhere you would want to visit in the area. The cottage is cosy with a lovely log burner and very comfortable bed, we were even given a lovely chocolate cake on arrival! Beautiful cottage, beautiful gardens, couldn’t have asked for more. Carol was a wonderful host, thanks for everything.

Do not hesitate to book this place if you’re staying in Hay. Beautiful little cottage, great location close to the river walk and the village, not far from the bus stop. Two bedrooms upstairs with comfy beds, great shower/tub, wood-burning stove downstairs, well appointed kitchen with everything you need, lovely garden out back with chairs to sit in the sun and listen to the birds. Would definitely stay here again.

Annette’s place is absolutely beautiful with stunning views and a great host! The place itself has everything you need with a modern bathroom, fully-fitted kitchen and comfy bed. The view from the apartment spans for miles, and there are tons of beautiful walks to explore. We really enjoyed our time here, relaxed, enjoyed the sun and will miss Annette’s cute cat Kitty and her friendly goat and sheep, Alison and Boris! Thanks so much Annette for being so responsive to our queries, giving us some fresh veg and for letting us stay at your amazing place. We hope to be back in the future!

Clare's cottage was perfect for our stay. It was very comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen. The location is just fantastic for exploring the wonderful valley with all it's natural wonder, and coming home to a warm fire was great.

Fantastic hosts! Definitely be back. Quiet and peaceful. Very helpful. Superb spot….don’t hesitate to book in here, it is definitely well worth it! Thank you for everything Catherine. Kind regards. Lloyd, Carol and Ben

We had an amazing stay at Bridgend cottage. Julie made us feel so welcome and her cake was gorgeous. The cottage is delightful, so well equipped and cosy, with lots of lovely personnel touches. It was great to sit in the evening with the fore on and listen to the river and the birds. So peaceful and relaxing. It is a beautiful location. We would absolutely recommend this beautiful cottage and are hoping to come back soon. Thankyou Julie and Martin
