Property code: BN247

A picture book cottage for couples or small families set beside 2,500 acres of forest, perfect for exploring the South Wales countryside and coastline.

With its striking red façade, you won’t miss this chocolate box cottage in the scenic South Wales countryside. Complete with similar statement pops of colour in the interior décor, this two-storey cottage invites three guests to stay in home-from-home comfort on a memory-making trip. It’s surrounded by the towering trees of Crynant Forest, a nature-packed beauty spot with footpaths and biking trails, yet is also 18 miles from Swansea where culture, shopping and nightlife can be enjoyed. Laid out with a small family or a couple in mind, the spacious property provides the very best place to rest and recharge after a day filled with all of your favourite activities.

Leave boots and outdoor gear on the porch before venturing inside. The kitchen and separate dining room invite all three guests to prepare meals and sit down together, whilst the sunroom and the lounge are ready for evenings filled with after-dinner relaxation. Settle down with Sky TV on in the living room, reclining on the sofa to watch your favourite film or box set. The bathroom is a generous shower room on the ground floor, and both the double and the single bedroom can be found just upstairs. To complete the property, head out via the back to find a sunny, grassy garden with landscaped features, outdoor furniture and a BBQ.

Popular attractions including the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (9 miles), the Cefn Coed Colliery Museum (3 miles) and the Castell Carreg Cennen (16.5 miles) are all close by offering superb days out. For further outdoor adventure, the Afan Forest Park is 12.5 miles away with beautiful waterfalls and a mountain biking park, and the nearby Zip World Tower (16 miles) is a must-visit for adrenaline-seeking explorers. There are also beautiful beaches along the coast nearby, with Aberavon Beach accessible in just 14 miles.

Ideal place for a quiet holiday. A forest you can walk to straight out of the garden. If you want lots of facilities on your doorstep, forget it, this is not for you! A place to getaway for a quiet time...then yes it is and was for us.

What a gem of a cottage, a special place to visit on the edge of the forest, with no neighbours just what we wanted, as a couple with our two dogs, who loved the chance to roam and explore the garden and woodland on the doorstep. The cottage was cosy, well equipped, clean and super value for money. The owner came to say hi and gave us tips for placRead morees to eat/visit which was so helpful. There is a shooting range nearby which if your dog is nervous is worth noting. But cant fault this wee gem!! Hide

A great place for young energetic people and a big garden for children and dogs to play in. Spotting my first bullfinch on the first day was a thrill as were the swallows lining up on the line. Plenty of hot water and comfortable beds.

A lovely, isolated location but within easy driving distance of some very good pubs serving great food. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped and the owner responded very quickly when the Sky Box lost signal.
