A fabulous cottage, in an idyllic setting.. Very quiet and relaxing with all the amenities you need. There is a long driveway heading in to the cottage area which could be smoother but the overall atmospherical effect of the journey adds to the experience. The owner is very friendly and helpful, the local pub was extremely welcoming and the local countryside provides plenty of entertainment.

Really comfortable, modern accommodation.. Nice and quiet. Off the beaten track but not far from amenities. Nice secure garden for the dogs. We've already booked our next stay here!

Mrs Devereux, October 2019

The only drawback was the long very bumpy track to the property but it was worthwhile when you arrived.. In the summer I think it would be an exceptional place to stay with the views and your own garden .

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cwm Gran Meadows, although we would have liked better weather to fully appreciate the attractiveness of the views from the decked area outside! As others have said, the one drawback is the rough track leading to the accommodation but the comfort of the "cottage" makes up for this. The owner is there if you need him but otherwise leaves you to yourselves. There was a welcome gift of milk, eggs and bread awaiting our arrival: very useful. Although situated in the heart of the countryside, Cwm Gran is well placed for visiting the area and very close to the M4 if you want to go further afield. We found almost everything we needed so far as kitchen equipment was concerned; a teapot would have been nice, but I suppose most people put teabags straight in their mug these days! There were several pyrex dishes for the microwave though none had lids, so cling film would be needed if you intend to cook that way. These are very minor niggles!!

We loved the peaceful location and the lovely modern facilities.. There were some kitchen utensils which would have helped in our cooking, like a bigger cheese grater, a bigger caffitierre, and a tea pot. But all in all, it was very good. A relaxing place for a holiday. We wished we could have enjoyed the garden more had the weather been kinder. The decking area was fantastic. Thank you to Mr Lee who was flexible with our arrival time allowing us to access the property earlier. The one drawback were the instructions on how to get there. The turning off from the Llanharry road is tricky and needs a map.

Mr Reeve, August 2019

Very nice place to stay could not fault it,enclosed gardens- dogs could sit out all day without us having to worry,if you want peace and quiet this is the place,its in the middle of nowhere, nice pub at the end of the lane-Fox and Hounds would have to drive due to narrow road with no pavement .. .the owner Mike is a nice guy and around if you need him and his dog Rocky is very friendly,,

The only one downside to this cottage was the long drive down a long rough track to the property.. If this is not a problem to you then this is a super cottage.

Mr Lawrence

This Self catering holiday cottage is set in the middle of meadows with stunning views all around, if you’re looking for peace and quiet you will find it here.. Set way back from the road it’s blissfully peaceful, however if you yearn for some retail therapy there is a retail shopping centre 15 minutes drive away, Cardiff is approximately 30 minutes drive away with good rail links close by. Local beaches approximately 40 minutes drive. Beautiful horses and wildlife for nature lovers. The cottage is impeccably decorated and has its own large garden with an outdoor decking area for outside dining. Fully contained with everything you could possibly need. local pub/restaurant Fox & Hounds 5 minutes drive away pet friendly with a large enclosed garden, if tranquility is what you need look no further.

My partner and I and our 3 dogs finally got around to having our 1st holiday together and it was my birthday on the 27th too, so it made it more special and we absolutely loved every minute of our holiday.. When we got there Mike the owner had left us bread, milk and packet biscuits which was a really nice touch. Mike was around if we needed him but he left us to enjoy our holiday in which we did and we can't thank Mike enough for everything. The property is ideally set surrounded by fields, lovely scenery. It was lovely to wake up every morning and see some of the wild horses over the fence which the dog's loved barking at, and they loved barking at Mike's lovely dog Rocky too lol. It was perfect for the dog's because the garden is really big and enclosed so we were happy to know that they were safe playing outside. We really couldn't fault anything and we will definitely be going back again. Thank you again for everything Mike and Rocky

This holiday was superb we have never spent a week in such nice surroundings the owner was always there if needed but you wouldn't know there was someone else living there would recommend to my doggie friends as the garden was a godsend Misha spent most her time on the patio or watching the chickens and horses I would like to say the wild horses don't bother you at all they don't usually come out till night it was well value for money thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! It was lovely weather and we were able to find everything we needed, when we required it. A lovely place to stay and it was nice to wake up and hear the nature around us!

Mr Purves

The owner of the cottage had thought of evrything to make it feel home from home.. He was very accommodating with any request we had which was not a lot as everything was catered for.

The sat nav details are incorrect [post code] this made the initial day’s a lilltle stressful.. Can I suggest that the post code of the house near the top of the drive(on the main road) is given, then you would only need to give very short instructions to the property. The post code given takes you up very narrow roads and doesn’t take you to the property. Thank you

If anyone going has a fear of horses there are around 12 wild ones sometimes at the entrance of the property, and an electric fence is not signed, only in the garden..
