About this property
This quaint, mid-terrace cottage is situated in the village of Brynamman, just a stone’s throw away from the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons National Park). Albert House is a heart-warming retreat for families seeking a break from normality, providing easy access to Swansea, South Wales the Brecon Beacons and just 150 yards away from the entrance to the River Amman cycle trail. After locating the off-road parking space, step into the sitting room, complete with white washed cottage walls, a woodburning stove, settee and a Smart TV for catching up on your favourite shows. Carry the conversation into the kitchen/diner, where you can prepare the dining table as the designated chef rustles up something tasty, with help from the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher, making cleaning up a breeze! Whisk yourself off upstairs to the bedrooms, hosting a king-size and double behind original barn doors, each neutrally presented with plenty of storage space. Wake up with a refreshing shower in the sleek shower room, before popping the kettle on for a morning coffee and enjoying the calls of the birds from the enclosed patio. Based close to the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons National Park), there are a plethora of scenic walking trails nearby, including scenic routes to Henrhyd Falls, along with historical landmarks such as Paxton’s Tower, but if you can drag yourself to explore the other side of the Glanaman Valley, you’ll find the beautiful Cwm Clydach nature reserve, home to flycatchers, redstarts and dippers. Other local attractions worth boxing off include the Showcaves of Wales at Dan-yr-Ogof, the Dark Sky Reserve in Wales, and the industrial heritage of the Big Pit and Blaenavon Iron works. If you fancy a change of scenery, just 16 miles away lies the vibrant city of Swansea, home to the striking National Waterfront Museum where you can relive the industrial times of Wales, uncover distinctive art collections at The Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, source local goods at the original Swansea Market, and enjoy the exotic planting at Clyne Gardens, along with so much more. With all this in easy reach, Albert House makes a fabulous escape to South Wales.

Fortunately we always include a stake and extended lead in our holiday pack which he doesn't particularly like. Other than that it is a lovely cottage with various attractions within easy reach.

Heating was on so good to dry clothes and shoes. It's a really quiet area, we rested well here. The house is a good spot to travel to Brecon Beacons and explore the mountains. Parking was a bit too tricky for us so we just left the car on the road.
