About this property

Cottage + Hot Tub/gym outskirts Cardiff/Cowbridge, stunning rural location

Exceptional 200 year old barn conversion recently refurbished to the highest standard, (4* graded). Spacious and comfortable open plan accommodation featuring flagstone and pitch pine floors, exposed stone walls, vaulted ceilings with original beams, wood burning stove, huge leather, corner sofa/bed, (seating 6+), and quality furnishings throughout. Situated in the heart of the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan, (yet only 20 minutes drive from the centre of Cardiff and 10 minutes from the historic market town of Cowbridge), the property is surrounded on all sides by unspoilt countryside. The kitchen/diner and lounge benefit from uninterrupted views for many miles, down the Llancarfan valley and across the Bristol Channel towards Somerset. Excellent walking and riding country and an ideal base from which to explore South and West Wales, The Gower, Brecon, Wye Valley and beyond. The cottage can comfortably sleep 6 persons, (ideally 4 adults plus 2 children), however the substantial bed settee in the lounge offers the possibility to increase sleeping capacity by a further 2 persons if required. The cottage is situated at the edge of Llancarfan, one of the prettiest villages within the Vale with its historic church, (famous for it's recently discovered medieval wall paintings), pretty stream and ford, and its award winning pub; The Fox and Hounds.

Lovely cottage near Cowbridge
We had a fantastic family holiday here. The house was very comfortable and clean and well appointed. Our grandson particularly appreciated the Brio Train Set and all the Lego....not to mention the Tarzan Swing along the lane. Our welcome pack was the best I have ever had. The situation is just beautiful and for us, just perfect for visiting our family in Barry. Only thing to flag up, as we arrived in the dark, we were looking for the Yellow Grit Bin, which isn't there now!!!! It didn't matter too much as we met a lovely young man from the property, who took us the last few metres. We do hope to go back in 2024

Fantastic property and fabulous location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Everything was as described and we received one of the best welcome packsever seen. Jon and Sian were brilliant hosts, attentive but not intrusive. The property has everything you need for a self catering stay and everything was comfortable and clean. The location was also really good. As a family with teens, it was lovely to have a beautiful setting but proximity to Cardiff for plenty of activities etc. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday!
