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.
