As the day draws to a close, head back inside and climb the stairs to the first-floor where you'll find three thoughtfully laid out bedrooms, a double room and two twins, all beautifully-appointed with a neutral décor and rustic wooden features, offering a homely setting to rest your eyes ahead of another fun-filled day. In the morning, kickstart your day with an invigorating rinse in the contemporary family bathroom. After an action-packed day exploring your scenic surroundings, take the short stroll into the heart of Cymmer to indulge in a well deserved glass of wine at the Refreshment Rooms, stopping at Cymmer Fish Bar on your return for a bite to eat.
