  On arrival we (my husband and I) were welcomed by Caris who showed us around the lodge, which is absolutely immaculate.

  Both Caris and Kerry are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We took along our two small dogs, which again were made very welcome and quickly made friends with the pugs and the beautiful Maremma sheepdog, Lexi, who although she towered over our little dogs, became a great favourite with them both! We only had one slight upset during the week we stayed there, and that was on Tuesday we returned to the lodge to find the family's French Bulldogs running loose, we were assured by Caris that they were all friendly, so we went through the gate with our two dogs. Unfortunately, both our dogs were attacked by two of the French Bulldogs, we quickly picked up our dogs, but one of the French Bulldogs continued to jump up,pulling on our dogs tail. Once Caris realised what was happening, she rounded her dogs up and took them back to their kennels. Both Kerry and Caris have apologised to us, which of course we accept, but unfortunately, since it happened, our smallest dog became very wary of going out of the lodge door, nervous of what dogs were around. We have been reassured that Kerry is going to make a seperate area that his dogs can exercise in future, so this will not happen to future guests, and it will not stop us staying there again.

  We recently had the pleasure of staying at Caner Bach Lodge while I was working in the nearby area.

  I was immediately impressed by the friendliness and warmth of the owners, Carys and Kerry. They made us feel welcome from the moment I arrived, and even provided essentials such as bread, milk, and toiletries. The cottage itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. The cottage is also located on a working farm, so I enjoyed seeing the animals and taking walks in the surrounding fields or nearby beaches. The cottage and owners are very dog-friendly, so I was able to bring my assistance dog along with me. Carys and Kerry's own dogs and other animals were kept separate from us, but they were happy to let us see them if we were interested. Luna? is a lovely big dog! Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Caner Bach Lodge. The owners are friendly and welcoming, the cottage is clean and cozy, and the location is perfect for those who want to relax and unwind in a rural setting. I would highly recommend Caner Bach Lodge to anyone looking for a dog-friendly cottage getaway in South Wales.

  It’s definitely the nicest holiday home we have ever stayed in , it’s new and beautifully finished with a lovely kitchen and light airy open living space.

  The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are immaculate . There are two seating areas on the terraces and we caught some sun having a coffee. We took our two little dogs and the lodge is quiet and peaceful in the evening but close to everything. Locally, you can walk to a Onestop shop and pubs ( 10 mins walk ) and there is a station in Newbridge for a train to Cardiff. If you want to explore we went to Caerleon ( Roman Amphitheatre ) and had great food there at the Hanbury Arms ( they are super dog friendly! ) Abergavenny and Usk have places to eat and shopping with lots of independent businesses. All are worth a visit and very close to the lodge is Cwmcarn Forest - which has varied walks and bike rides - the views were spectacular and there’s info at the Forest Park Centre. We had a lovely break in the Lodge really enjoyed our week there , I’d definitely go again.

  What a gorgeous place!

  This new, purpose built, modern, Italian styled Lodge is finished with high quality fittings and equipment inside and out. The Lodge is absolutely immaculate, bright and airy, with a vaulted ceiling and velux windows in the open plan living and kitchen area. The whole place is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great to have a shower room as well as an en suite shower, both equipped with rain showers and the tallest, hottest towel rails we've ever seen - lovely during our stay in December! The garden area is fully paved and includes a lot of thoughtful touches such as an outside tap for washing bikes, security lighting, and seating. The owner lives next door. He gave us genuine warm and friendly welcome and helped out with everything we asked about. We have been really pleased with our stay and plan to return for longer next year.

  We shared our holiday week in October with some old friends and we all had a wonderful week at the cottage.

  Kitchen is very well equipped but just to warn you fridge is down a step in room next door. Used washing machine and tumble dryer which was a big bonus. Could have hung out on line but no pegs so that would be very useful. Our king size bed was extremely comfortable but our friends had twin beds and they felt they needed toppers to make more comfortable. The weather was warm and so spent some time in the garden. The grass was extremely long and wet underfoot so dogs got wet and clearing up was harder! Small issues but we still loved our week at Ewenny. It’s so close to beautiful beeches and places to visit. We didn’t need to use the fire but it’s all there for you to take advantage of if you want to. The cottage is not ultra modern but it’s a wonderful and welcoming place to stay and would definitely recommend it.
