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.

This cottage is beautiful and cosy and in a stunning location. If you get a clear night it is perfect for stargazing, we were lucky enough to see a meteor shower. It is well equipped and right next to a forest where our dogs loved to go for walks. The small dining room was brilliant for playing board games and the local town was near enough to get Read moreeverything we needed but far enough to be quiet and secluded. There is a shooting range nearby but it didn't really bother us! Hide
