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.

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 > [Copper House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Copper-House.h66093041.Hotel-Information) > > [SACO Cardiff – Cathedral Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-SACO-Cardiff-Cathedral-Road.h11768736.Hotel-Information) > > [Book now Swansea city centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Book-Now-Swansea-City-Centre.h59986766.Hotel-Information) > > [The Albany Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Albany-Apartments.h43308155.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cardiff.h4254642.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardiff University, Talybont Gate Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cardiff-University.h30551505.Hotel-Information) > > [New Inn Hotel by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-New-Inn-Hotel-By-Greene-King-Inns.h11900845.Hotel-Information) > > [Cuddfan Lodge on a Gorgeous Private Lake](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cuddfan-Lodge-On-A-Private-Lake.h73237752.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Cardiff.h1240563.Hotel-Information) > > [Clive Lodge Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Clive-Lodge-Apartments.h48606194.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Cardiff.h1291503.Hotel-Information) > > [Just Stay Wales – Meridian Quay Penthouses](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Meridian-Quay-The-Penthouse.h36659221.Hotel-Information) > > [Lanelay Hall Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Lanelay-Hall-Hotel-Spa.h19385738.Hotel-Information) > > [Tŷ Newport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Ty-Hotel-Newport.h96787676.Hotel-Information) > > [Citrus Hotel Cardiff by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Citrus-Hotel-Cardiff-By-Compass-Hospitality.h520199.Hotel-Information) > > [Crofts Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Crofts.h38726361.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Cardiff.h876498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cfeleven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-OYO-Cfeleven.h10065313.Hotel-Information) > > [The Angel Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Angel-Hotel.h34843.Hotel-Information) > > [Belvilla Newport City Centre Hotel - Lifestyle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Silurian-Hotel.h69221774.Hotel-Information) > > [Meridian Quay Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-Just-Stay-Wales-Meridian-Wharf.h35452510.Hotel-Information) > > [Coldra Court Hotel by Celtic Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Coldra-Court-Hotel-By-Celtic-Manor.h542557.Hotel-Information) > > [The Parkgate Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Parkgate-Hotel.h66262736.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardiff University, Senghennydd Hall - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cardiff-University.h30551441.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Cardiff by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Cardiff.h18575463.Hotel-Information) > > [Executive Apartment Cardiff City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Executive-Apartment-Cardiff-City-Centre.h45052716.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardiff Sandringham Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cardiff-Sandringham-Hotel.h900564.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardiff Metropolitan University, Plas Gwyn Halls - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Cardiff-Metropolitan-University.h30551499.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Cardiff - North M4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Cardiff-North-M4.h9720.Hotel-Information) ---
