We had a great time in this cottage. The living space is ideal, open plan with the well-equipped kitchen merging into a large living space. The wood-burning stove is a lovely feature and having a large screen TV and DVD player was handy too. All the bedrooms were clean and finished nicely and with each one having an en-suite, there were no bathroom queues. The large garden was great for the dogs to let off steam and we'd definitely book again. Although it is a lovely, quiet setting, be aware there's not a lot of 'life' in Penallt and we struggled to find a local store for instance, so bring what you'll need to survive on until you can get to do some shopping . The local pub (The Boat) is at the bottom of a steep hill, so coming back is definitely a longer walk (25-35 mins) than getting there! ##### Kevin This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### J W 22 Oct 2019 #### S Superb accommodation and location ##### J W This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 17 Sept 2019 #### Great cottage and well furnished, big garden well worth the rent.

Highly recommended This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### sarah 3 Jun 2019 #### A beautiful home which is steeped in history. A beautiful home which is steeped in history. Sympathetically restored and retaining original features. Beautifully clean and a lovely gesture of fresh roses and Prosecco upon arrival. Large double garage and a gated drive provide that added extra. A fantastic stay. Tips: 1. Take slippers... cold slate floors 2. Very high ceiling voids can leave the home a bit chilly... lovely woollen blankets on the sofas provided, but remember a dressing gown. ##### sarah ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mercure Swansea Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Mercure-Swansea-Hotel.h22064.Hotel-Information) > > [The Priory Hotel and Restaurant](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Priory-Hotel-And-Restaurant.h17828361.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Swansea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Swansea-Marriott-Hotel.h1290.Hotel-Information) > > [New House Country Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-New-House-Country-Hotel.h27938.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Cardiff.h200304.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardiff Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cardiff-Marriott-Hotel.h13776.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Cardiff City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Cardiff-City-Centre.h526111.Hotel-Information) > > [Staybridge Suites Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Cardiff.h68218398.Hotel-Information) > > [The Parkgate Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Parkgate-Hotel.h66262736.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Cardiff.h2609745.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Cardiff.h18575463.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Cardiff North Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Mercure-Cardiff-North-Hotel.h20256.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Cardiff City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Cardiff-City-Centre.h802589.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Cardiff Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Novotel-Cardiff-Centre.h571649.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Hilton-Cardiff.h551874.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Cardiff.h1240563.Hotel-Information) > > [easyHotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-EasyHotel-Cardiff.h60826545.Hotel-Information) > > [The Angel Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Angel-Hotel.h34843.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cardiff.h4254642.Hotel-Information) > > [Lanelay Hall Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Lanelay-Hall-Hotel-Spa.h19385738.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Parkway-Hotel-Spa.h10704.Hotel-Information) > > [Coldra Court Hotel by Celtic Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Coldra-Court-Hotel-By-Celtic-Manor.h542557.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Cardiff.h876498.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Swansea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Swansea.h1573880.Hotel-Information) > > [Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Ramada-Resort-By-Wyndham-Cwrt-Bleddyn-Hotel-Spa.h486291.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points Flex by Sheraton Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Four-Points-Flex-By-Sheraton-Cardiff.h2256209.Hotel-Information) > > [Future Inns Cardiff Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Future-Inns-Cardiff-Bay.h1160305.Hotel-Information) > > [voco St David's Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Voco-St-Davids-Cardiff.h545633.Hotel-Information) > > [Holland House Hotel Cardiff By Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Holland-House-Hotel-Cardiff-By-Sunday.h1000753.Hotel-Information)
