Getting around

Due to the places that guests come to see in Wales and Seasonal weather, then a car is essential. That said, it is possible for the driver to have a day off and still explore, but with a greater degree of planning than the freedom that our own vehicle provides. Neath Train station is 4 miles away, easy parking and an hourly service to Cardiff makes for a full day trip either to the city centre Castle, Art Gallery & Museum or a further short boat trip to Cardiff Bay. Or to the West the train travels down to the market town of Carmarthen and beyond. Park an easy 10 minutes away by car, catch a bus up to Brecon, a very picturesque journey from the Neath valley and over into the Upper Swansea valley through the Beacons National Park.

Interaction with guest

Happy to advise on places that may be of interest to guests- we live locally- guests can chose to have re assuring contact if required or be totally independent. We always aim to greet guests on arrival.

Lovely property with friendly and helpful owners. The house was well-equipped, very comfortable, and was a great base for seeing the local area. Helen was very welcoming and offered good tips and advice on what to do. Our son greatly appreciated the toys, books and nearby stream. We had a great stay.
