With its excellent position, this holiday home is a rare find for families of all ages, beachcombers, avid ramblers and those alike to call home, as they explore the majestic beauty of South Wales.

Be welcomed into the sitting room, where the inglenook fireplace, complete with an ancient stone bread oven and woodburning stove take centre stage before the sumptuous seating arrangement and TV. After resting those post walk-soles on the sofa and relishing in the warmth of the fire, slip through the doors to find the well-equipped kitchen, boasting an array of quality appliances for the chef of the group to rustle up tasty home-cooked dishes. While eating and relaxing over a bottle of your favourite wine, watch the numerous birds eat just 2m from the kitchen door, where the badger visits and can be seen eating just a foot away most evenings. For a fun-filled evening, be sure to make the most of the games room, complete with a pool table, table football and table tennis or simply get lost within that book you have been meaning to read in front of the fire. Once the evening has drawn to a close, catch your rest within one of the two bedrooms, comprising of a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, both served by a family bathroom with a shower over bath, basin and WC. The garden at Trewrach Cottage has been designed as an extension of the house itself, where you can spend sunny afternoons on the large patio area as something tasty sizzles on the barbecue and you enjoy the company of family and friends. Additionally, there is a large lawn area for your canine companions to explore, as well as a nearby woodland to meander for a change of scenery.
