Set in the Waterfall Country of the picturesque Vale of Neath, they are situated at Abergwrelych, a smallholding of eighteen acres in the upper reaches of the valley. Old buildings that might have fallen into disrepair have been rescued and lovingly restored to live another day and hopefully give pleasure to people looking for a brief respite from the hustle and bustle of today's world.

Margaret and Merfyn were both born and brought up locally and besides personally supervising the cottages and making Welshcakes, are always on hand to pass on their knowledge of the geography and history of the area. A ride in Merf's car to the Waterfalls has become a 'must do' with visitors.

Drws Nesaf, so called because it is 'next door' to us, is a cosy stone cottage originally built in 1856. Yr Hen Stabl is the total transformation of an old, disused stable.

Details

Further Information: Drws Nesaf Drws Nesaf, so called because it is 'next door' to us, is a cosy stone cottage originally built in 1856 as quarters for the servants of Abergwrelych House. We know the exact date from finding, during renovation, a new Young Victoria penny placed under the windowsill; a practice common to builders wishing to date their work. Today it retains the character of the 19th Century, while at the same time providing up-to-date comforts and amenities.
Further Information: Yr Hen Stabl Yr Hen Stabl is the total transformation of an old, disused stable. While the thick stone walls, odd windows and hayloft door have been retained, the interior has been given new life through clever use of natural materials, such as slate and reclaimed timber. Modern comforts are tastefully mixed with antique style; sloping ceilings and wide plank doors sit comfortably with up-to-date kitchen and bathroom fittings, double glazing and central heating.
