Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Bridgend

I cannot overstate how amazing this place is. I was looking for an escape into the woods and it was exactly what I wanted. The setting of the cottage is stunning, right on the river and surrounded by trees. It feels remote, even though it's only a short walk into the village. The welcome was really friendly, you can tell that the owners are very active in their community and have put together loads of local info. I particularly liked the map of the community forrest which made me feel confident enough to explore walks by myself. The cottage itself is beautifully kept, with everything that you need, and then some. I didn't want to leave.

A wonderful experience. The accommodation is beautiful, sympathically restored with attention to detail. The home was absolutely spotless with a very good range of amenities. Will definitely return - thank you

Fantastic hosts , really helpful and responsive . Lots of information about the local area and things to do. House was very clean and comfortable, with everything you needed , beds and beddings was really cosy and we slept so well , we didn’t actually want to leave and stayed longer than originally booked. The views and local walks were beautiful too . The local pub was nice although we only had a drink there. Kitchen facilities were so good we cooked most the time. Highly recommend

Suzanne's place was the perfect choice for our family, taking my elderly parents away is not always straightforward but here we had two downstairs bedrooms with walk in shower (and shower seat) in the bathroom next door to the bedrooms, everything on the level and good parking near the door. The upstairs bedrooms had en-suites and a lovely view over the rooftops to the sea. It's easy to get to Cardiff, Penarth and Barry and we had a lovely day at the Duffryn Gardens (National Trust). Everything was super clean and the decor was simple but classy. The beds were really comfy too. I'm sure we'll be coming back.

The original cottage has been renovated , decorated and furnished to a very high standard, making it a comfortable place to be. The outdoor space is delightful, with the relaxing sound of the river below and the plentiful birdsong.

We had a lovely five night stay at Peacock Cottage. We had a car rental and used it as a home base for hiking the Exmoor Coast potion of the South West Coast Path, Minehead to Combe Martin. It was the perfect location and we really enjoyed returning home to our cozy cottage after a long day of hiking. The property is charming and what we wanted, a true country cottage. Instructions were clear for everything from parking, garbage collection, recycling, shower, laundry, etc. Absolutely loved cooking on the Aga. The area is quiet and peaceful, directly near the river. The Rockford Inn pub across the street was lovely as well.

Really really loved our stay here! Such a beautiful place, with stunning views! Place was equipped with everything and more, we felt so cosy as soon as we arrived. Lovely picnic bench where we spent most of our time enjoying the views and the friendly cat was an added bonus. Thank you so much for a gorgeous stay and would definitely come back!

Beautiful property withing easy reach to attractions. Has everything you need to feel like home. Offers quiet space (office), well equipped gym and listening to the concert on the home cinema is a must (the sound system will transfer you to the event). The garden is spacious and well kept. It'll be lovely if there was hot tub (jusf a cherry in the cake ☺️). There was an EV charger but we were charged so no need to use it. If you are cold - boost the heating only and the house will be warm really quickly, all the way to the top. Gemma was very friendly and responsive at answering questions we've had. Will recommend it.

Lovely stay at Tors Park would highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit north Devon. Great location and easy access to many walks in the area. The apartments have absolutely everything you will need and the sauna and cold plunge were a nice addition. Although the cold plunge was unserviceable when I was hoping to use it.

We really enjoyed our stay at Alison's - thank you for having us! The spacious apartment has obviously been recently furnished, and it was extremely clean. There was everything we needed, with a very comfortable bed with high quality bed linen. Thank you for the generous welcome basket, which was ideal for our breakfasts, and we enjoyed the biscuits too! All in all we thought it was excellent, and a great location for visiting St Fagans and our Cardiff cousins. Thank you very much to Alison and Luigi, and we hope to stay with you again.

I had a lovely last-minute stay at Liz’s place — it was absolutely perfect for a quiet night away. It had everything and more needed for it. The space was spotless, cozy, and exactly what I needed. Liz was so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I would 100% return. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay at The Aros. A wonderful apartment with everything you need. It’s a perfect location too. Wonderful view and surrounded by the shops and restaurants but it was still quiet in the evening. We walked everywhere and there was free parking a minute walk away. We had a gorgeous walk to the pier and The Lighthouse restaurant was just perfect. Thank you!

Tom went above and beyond for us. Would recommend!

We had a great stay in the mumbles, very convenient to the local amenities. good sized accommodation and dog friendly which is great!

We really enjoyed staying in this charming former dairy cottage. The views are simply breathtaking and the ground floor apartment was very comfortable. We loved having our breakfast on the little terrace and a lie on the grass at the end of the day was very relaxing. The bed was comfortable and the shower was powerful. Attractive furnishings g made for an uplifting stay. Liz made us feel very welcome. Crickhowell a short drive away is delightful and we particularly enjoyed our lunch at The Bear. We hope to return.

Very helpfull, good communication, great suggestions and most of all, a lovely house. The initial form filling and deposit providing on their own platform was kind of jarring and a bit of a hassle but I guess thats how they maintain it so well and it was well worth the state of the place. Would 100% recommend, dont let the form filling stop you!

I have to come clean - I am an enthusiast of Penarth, the architecture of the town, the community feel, and everything about the place. Sarah's place, being among the oldest houses in the town, was a must for all the things I was looking for. Sarah herself is friendly and has clearly put a lot of herself into the house. My journey time to Penarth could have been subject to delays, being more than 500 miles... but we had good communication and met up without difficulty at the house. All in all, the house was cosy and well appointed. It also was a great base for strolling into Penarth Town centre and even, across the barrage, to Butetown and even Cardiff. I would thoroughly recommend Sara's house for your stay.

This clever barn conversion is quite thoughtfully designed and very comfortable inside and out. The professional level of decoration found a wonderful balance of beauty and homeyness; everything was lovely in the most welcoming way. There was lots of space for our family to spread out, and the beds and linens were excellent. As lovely as the house is, the best part by far is the view. It was absolutely stunning, rain or shine! We found ourselves drawn outside at all hours of the day to enjoy the sights and sounds around us. Just as described, there were places in the house where the wifi was spotty, and the track up through the neighboring farm to the house might be a challenge for some cars. As we had read about the property, we were not surprised and spent an absolutely wonderful week there! There were plenty of restaurants and grocery stores 10-15 minutes away in Abergavenny when we could tear ourselves away from this slice of paradise.

Beautiful place felt at home as soon as we stepped in. The decor is amazing and can’t wait to come again and see the mural wallpaper

I visited with a family of 9. It was a lovely place, we all felt right at home. Everything was well described in the listing and even better in real than the photos. I highly recommend Simon’s place If you wish to explore Cardiff and surrounding areas. It is a convenient location to station yourself in the city. Hoping to come again and use the same place in future. Thanks a lot Simon for a lovely experience! Cheers
