Holiday Home/Apartment - 4 persons - Plas Farm, Cilybebyll, Pontardawe - SA8 3JQ - Swansea

Six holiday cottages, quietly located in a country estate, ideal for family holidays or a romantic retreat for couples - Winner of the 2017 Swansea Bay Tourism Award The six holiday cottages are situated on a working farm. The farm is tucked away in a valley near a quiet hamlet in South Wales. It is situated at the end of a long private farm lane. The four holiday cottages surround the estate’s square courtyard with several buildings. The farm is situated alongside the picturesque river Clydach that flows through the property’s 100 hectares of private land. Guests can take lovely walks in the private grounds. Take a walk through oak woodland awash with bluebells or enjoy sitting on the lawns inside the courtyard in the shade under the large beech trees while watching the sunset and the sheep grazing. On request, a barbecue can be made available. Each cottage has three parking spaces only a few metres away from the front door. Internet access via W-Lan is free of charge. On request, the landlord is happy to provide you with a free of charge highchair and a baby bed. The landlord has compiled a comprehensive information fiolder on the region and its tourist attractions. A copy of this is placed in each cottage. In your cottage, you will also find a guide book for hiking on the farmland through woodland, fields and hillside areas with views of the idyllic Welsh countryside. Although the property enjoys a secluded and quiet location it is within easy reach of local amenities. A supermarket and a pub with good food are only a few minutes car drive away. It’s a 20 minute drive to the town centre of Swansea. The cottages are also only a quick drive from the main attractions in South Wales, including the famous National Showcaves Centre for Wales, some of the Neath Valley’s most beautiful waterfalls, Brecon Beacons National Park, the cities of Swansea and Cardiff and several castles and museums. The beaches of the Gower peninsula are also within easy reach.

This holiday accommodation is one side of a semi-detached Georgian cottage house. The cottage was originally built as stabling for the gentry’s horses and carriages. The white archway and circle that adorn the holiday cottage tell of its past life as a 19th century coach house. A stream runs right next to the holiday cottage. The living room door leads to the paved terrace overlooking the banks of the river Clydach. The terrace is surrounded by a fence making it a safe area for children. A large six seater table and sun shade are available.
