  Castle coach house is so lovely, beautifully finished with lots of space and light.

  There is a great utility / boot room which helps keep all the mud out of the main house. The bedrooms upstairs have great proportions and yet feel very cosy, plenty of bathrooms! The open plan kitchen, dining and living space gives everyone the space they need. Sofas and chairs are comfortable. The different lighting options helps to make the mood right in the evening. Lots of classic furniture and trinkets to keep it feeling homely and interesting. The kitchen is well equipped. There are lots of games to be used. We absolutely loved the house. Couple of things to work on: maintenance of the washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, extractor fans etc is probably due. The sitting room area could do with a picture or two or a wooden dresser with the tv inside a cabinet, and get rid of the fender which takes up space and looks a bit odd. The enclosed garden wasn’t enclosed as the gate is broken. It’s also unfortunately a muddy bog which may be tricky to figure out as it’s at the bottom of a hill. I felt a bit sad being right next to lovely garden areas of the castle which have private signs on them all so you can’t use them.

  Our family of four stayed in Cwn Hedd cabin for most of August 2019. It is one of the best cottages we have rented and is so well equipped it was a real home from home. The location is great as surrounding the cabin is countryside but you can be in the centre of Cardiff in half an hour. As soon as we arrived we relaxed as the Cabin is light, spacious and immaculately clean with many thoughtful touches. We experienced all weathers from torrential rain and gales to blistering heat. On all days the cabin felt comfortable and the view over the lake was a joy to behold. We wasted many hours sitting in front of the picture windows with a cup of coffee tracking the clouds on the lakes surface and identifying the birds and wildlife. Take binoculars! What helps the atmosphere further is the welcoming and friendly approach of the owners, from the lovely welcome pack, to plentiful logs for the stove and chimera as well as good advice about walks on the farm and things to do locally.

  It’s definitely the nicest holiday home we have ever stayed in , it’s new and beautifully finished with a lovely kitchen and light airy open living space.

  The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are immaculate . There are two seating areas on the terraces and we caught some sun having a coffee. We took our two little dogs and the lodge is quiet and peaceful in the evening but close to everything. Locally, you can walk to a Onestop shop and pubs ( 10 mins walk ) and there is a station in Newbridge for a train to Cardiff. If you want to explore we went to Caerleon ( Roman Amphitheatre ) and had great food there at the Hanbury Arms ( they are super dog friendly! ) Abergavenny and Usk have places to eat and shopping with lots of independent businesses. All are worth a visit and very close to the lodge is Cwmcarn Forest - which has varied walks and bike rides - the views were spectacular and there’s info at the Forest Park Centre. We had a lovely break in the Lodge really enjoyed our week there , I’d definitely go again.

  I was disappointed that the property had not been cleaned prior to our arrival and was not to the same standard of other holiday properties I have rented and expected.

  There were cleaning products available, so I started my holiday cleaning the bathrooms! Unfortunately there was no vacuum cleaner or broom available to sweep the floors. Important when the property allows dogs to stay and it is expected to leave the property in the same state as arrival . I reported this the next morning at the local office. Unfortunately, no vacuum arrived during our stay, as was organised. It would be helpful to have more information in the 'useful information' folder on recycling/rubbish and how to leave the property on departure. The property did have a lot of extraneous objects, papers, letters etc., cluttering up the window shelves and drawers of furniture. This is a lovely property and we enjoyed our stay. It just needs a good sort through, removing unnecessary items and make sure the essentials are cleaned prior to clients arriving.

  What a gorgeous place!

  This new, purpose built, modern, Italian styled Lodge is finished with high quality fittings and equipment inside and out. The Lodge is absolutely immaculate, bright and airy, with a vaulted ceiling and velux windows in the open plan living and kitchen area. The whole place is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great to have a shower room as well as an en suite shower, both equipped with rain showers and the tallest, hottest towel rails we've ever seen - lovely during our stay in December! The garden area is fully paved and includes a lot of thoughtful touches such as an outside tap for washing bikes, security lighting, and seating. The owner lives next door. He gave us genuine warm and friendly welcome and helped out with everything we asked about. We have been really pleased with our stay and plan to return for longer next year.
