Enjoyed our stay in this comfortable well appointed cabin in the woods. Property was as advertised and spacious for 2 people.. We used the sofa bed as well as the double and found them both comfortable. . TV via Firestick was fine for us. There is a decent level of kitchen equipment and we were very happy to find the heating was set at a comfortable level and provided a cosy environment .. We loved the woodland location and being near the Taffs Trail. - not so busy in November . If it rains the sound is quite loud on the metal roof but that was not a problem for us. Rachael was easy to deal with and prompt with responses. We were very grateful for her detailed directions to the property which we found with ease. We definitely hope to return.

Great weekend away

This was a quirky but lovely place to stay for a weekend in Wales. Well equipped, quaint arty features everywhere you look, strangely remote but also sort of busy with walkers, joggers and cyclists passing on the Taff Trail! All in all a lovely feel, hard to describe, would definitely recommend this property. While you're there Castle Coch is must see.

Room was quite small but had all we needed. Very clean, fresh paint well kept. Outside traditional, lovely old style building. Bus stop right around the corner. Locals very pleasant. Owner operator looked grouchy but was a joy to visit with.

Second time visiting this lovely spot, location is stunning and accommodation stylish and comfortable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Easy hassle free

Perfect place for us to stay when we needed somewhere easily accessible to Cardiff. Didn’t get to spend much time in the accommodation but all seemed as described, and it was only a short walk to the train station

I had a good time with my family in a good accommodation. so I had a satisfying time with all my family. I hope I can come on my next vacation

Easy to rent & good communication with the owner.

The property was great. Exactly as described down a quiet little lane, very private and quiet, in Taffs well, a lovely little village. Easy commute into Cardiff.

Clean and modern accommodation- easy access to Cardiff. Thank you

Lovely area setting. Nice welcome touch of Wine @ Welsh cakes. Meet the owner who was lovely and helpful. Slight down fall, property had a tin roof so quite noisy when rained and it was a little chilly at night.

Firstly I would like to say the host was helpful when we needed help with Internet login. And the decor was lovely however We were disappointed with the location and the outside sitting area. We had chosen this property over others because it looked as though it had a lovely space to sit and enjoy the outside. Sadly it wasn't quite how the picture looks and it wasn't clean. Inside looked really nicely decorated however it wasn't clean. We had to clean all the kitchen items before we could use them. Floors and sides were dirty. Kettle we didn't use as it was filthy inside and out. We used a pan to boil water instead. It came apparent when reading the rules in the welcome pack that you have to strip the bed put rugs and tea towels in a basket and sweep the floor before you leave. So it seems the place is only as clean as the last person left it!!! I am all for leaving a place tidy before you leave but this seems to be so that they don't have to clean!! Bedding was fresh and clean though and the bed was comfortable. There was a nice little welcome bottle of wine and coffee and Welsh cakes but sadly there wasn't the basics like salt and pepper and considering its a place meant for upto four people frying pan and things are so small. It's not so quite either of a Sunday being so near to the football club and the A470. Sadly won't be returning

Perfect location for us visiting our son. Well equipped, clean and comfortable will definitely stay again.

It was just the two of us staying with our dog, and found it the perfect location for long, winding walks. It was great fun discovering all the meandering pathways. Although the weather was quite damp while we were there, we stayed cosy in our cabin and had everything required for self catering. There is a tin roof, and being in the woods (and autumn) , it can be quite noisy with the dripping and also the nearby carriageway can be heard. However, once the TVs on snuggled up with hot choccie, it really didn’t matter. Great bathroom and comfy bed. Also very fast communication from Rachael who was very accommodating with my queries. Thank you for Rachael!

Very clean and excellent location. Great place to stay for relaxing. Will definitely be booking again. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Thank you x

We enjoyed our stay, the area around the cabin itself is quite nice, but the approach is through a built up housing estate. The cabin is on the Taffs Trail and it would have been really useful if the owner had left some info about this, as we did not know which path was the one for the trail as there are several around the cabin. Also some info about places to visit in the area (not just the local pub) would have been very useful! Shame there is no guest folder with all this information in it, something the owner could provide quite easily, as they are very keen to leave info of all the things they don't want you to do in the property and how to make sure you get the rubbish procedure correct and clean the floor of the cabin before you leave! We would also have liked to have been left some anti bac spray to use during our stay and have been provided with enough bin bags for a week. The dishwasher also had no salt or rinse aid in it, which we had to buy ourselves, this should be checked on each check out by the owner. The outside deck area at the rear is quite sweet, although it would be good if there were a light that worked (the small string of lights stuck on the fence do not work) as without a light it is too dark round there to sit in the evening. The sofa in the living area is very uncomfortable to sit on and even more uncomfortable to sleep on for a week, the bed mattress is also very uncomforable. We did not encounter the owner at all during our stay, it would have been nice for them to acknowledge our visit by maybe a passing 'hello'? they will probably say 'due to Covid they do not greet the guests' but just a walk by would be nice, we assume they live in the house at the top of the driveway. We were very impressed with South Wales and enjoyed our trips out to Caerphilly Castle, St Fagans, Castel Coch and Cardiff, it would have been great if we had known that we could catch the train locally - but again no info was given from the owner of this and we found out too late in our stay! All in all, the cabin is clean and the furniture is quite new, there are a lot of needless 'bits and bobs, dust collectors', with many fake plastic plant pots everywhere, but the space is nice to spend the evenings in, as long as you like Netflix! Some side lights would also be great, as the large spotlights are very bright and glaring. Would we stay again - no, would we recommend it - yes with a few tweaks if could be great. Thank you.

Arrived here for 2 nights. Very easy communication. We needed a early check in due to a last minute problem and Rachel accommodated straight away which was excellent and was greeted with a welcome gift (very nice gesture) the pictures on the website do not do it enough justice. Excellent property. Decorated and equipped to a very high standard. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Defnately enough room for a family of 4. Loved the outside area to relax in and our dog was made welcome with the enclosed garden. Great location.

My daughter and her boyfriend stayed at the property during a visit to Wales with my husband and I. We were all visiting my son and his girlfriend. The property is perfect clean, well equipped very comfortable, great location much bigger than the photos make it look. We visit Wales regularly and would stay definitely stay at the property ourselves next time we visit.

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Art Coffee House. A short train ride into the centre of Cardiff and surrounded by beautiful mountains and forests, this cabin was the staycation we all needed. The place itself was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, with brilliant facilities. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit the land of song. Aros orau erioed!!

Spacious well maintained property ! Nice decorations and green surroundings . Drive to Brecon Beacons was easy

Just returned from a week in this fantastic accommodation.Pre arrival communication was excellent. The area in which ir is set is amazing with lots of walking with our dog even an agility dog park close by.Everything we needed was in the accommodation.Lovely walk to village pubs again with our dog.All in all a very chilled staycation. And a big thanks to the owner who was passing when my online grocery delivery arrived and as we were delayed 3 hours due to roadworks was able to accept it and put it away. WHAT A SERVICE. Will definitely be back.

Just had a weekend here & I would love to have stayed longer. Although it was a wet, windy weekend it was great. The lodge is very comfy, cosy & well presented. It was very well equipped in the kitchen & the smart TV is a real bonus. The garden & decking area is lovely with the sound of the stream, so relaxing. The location is great being on the Taff Trail, some really good walks (think we broke our dog, he's done nothing but sleep since we got back). We went to Barry Island (I'm a real Gavin & Stacey fan), which is just 30mins away. Just a 20min drive into Cardiff & Cardiff Bay. So the location is great. Thank you so much. ☆☆☆☆☆ 🥰

I rented this cabin as it was close to Cardiff where my daughter lives for her to join me but away from the hustle of the city. The cabin was in a lovely location, just off the Taff Trail by a stream in the woods. It was exceptionally clean and had everything we could have wished for. There is plenty of outside space which is fenced and a bistro table and chairs off the bedroom and a picnic table and bbq overlooking the stream. Kitchen was very well equipped. The bed was amazing comfy! We spent a lovely if exhausting weekend exploring the local countryside walking up Garth mountain (it’s worth the climb for the views at the top and the pub at the bottom!) and visiting Castell Coch, a few mins drive away or can be reached via a 15 min walk along the Taff Trail. Again well worth the visit. Dogs are not allowed in the Castle but there are well marked walks to follow including a sculpture trail for the kids and a great dog friendly cafe at the end of the walk just along the lane. A perfect retest for a relaxing get away from it all weekend and only 15 mins from Cardiff if you want to visit. I will definitely be returning, thank you so much.

Beautiful accommodation, ideal location. Will definitely visit again, highly recommended.Ideal for families who like a good walk and then to relax in the accommodation. The rooms were so clean we thought we must be the first to stay there. 10 out of 10

Very adequate for two adults but I would have been very disappointed if the party had been four due to the sleeping arrangements ( 2 put up beds in lounge area) and the fact that a 3ftx2ft dining table and 4 stools gives very limited space for a comfortable meal. Also cooking utensils are limited. A good washing machine but no where to hang clothes to dry .If you are not au fait with Amazon TV or Alexa then get aquainted before your visit as there are no instruction.

We recently stayed for 3 nights and found this property to be well equipped and centrally based for some great walks as it’s only a 30 to 40 minutes drive to the Brecon Beacons. It’s also within walking distance to the Taff Trail. It’s nicely decorated and furnished, with plenty of room for the 2 of us. There’s a little courtyard with a bench and seating along with a barbecue next to the stream. Very pleasant to sit outside on a warm summer’s evening.

This is a lovely unusual holiday rental in a lovely location. The cabin has a double bedroom, large shower room and open plan kitchen and living room with sofa beds. Outside is a pretty fenced garden and picnic table. The furniture is good quality and some lovely art makes it very homely and cute. The cabin is amongst trees with a brook running next to it and a footpath which takes you up to beautiful woodland walks which my dog loved and I loved. There are pubs and supermarkets nearby and it is easy to get into Cardiff by car or train. You are also about a 30 minute drive from beaches on the heritage coast. We had a great time - highly recommended.
