Family break

The property was clean and large enough to accomodate us all and gave us good access to activities in the surrounding area. The hot tub was wonderful as were the large fluffy towels. One of the neighbours was upset about us parking in the street despite us parking most of our cars in the car park and just stopping outside to off load. He also complained about the noise at just after 10pm. We were a family group just finishing playing a board game, there was no loud music, no drinks, no swearing, no partying and our grand children were asleep upstairs. When I apologised to the lady next door, the following day, about any disturbance we may have caused she dismissed what i had to say and said everything was fine with her and that there was no need to apologise. Despite this we did all feel the need to be particularly careful and quiet the following evening, which made me and some others in our family feel quite uncomfortable.

Beautiful little property

My family and I recently stayed in this property for a long weekend. The house is gorgeous, fab if you love quirky attention to detail, and attention to design! The hot tub was beautifully warm ready for us on arrival, the out door space is the perfect space to relax and unwind. All the beds were super comfy, just what you need after a day of exploring the natural beauty of the surroundings. The hosts couldn’t have been more lovely, their communication both before and after our visit was second to none, we were provided with detailed excursion idea’s and tips along with their own personal recommendations! Well worth the stay!

About the host

Hosted by Host

At James' Places we like to offer you individually styled accommodation that is unique and a bit quirky.
The property is located within the town of Merthyr Tydfil so is in a town setting but within a minutes drive of The Brecon Beacons, Pen Y Fan, Bike Park Wales, The Four Water Falls and Zip World. This gives you the benefit of being next door to the countryside but all close to the shops, restaurants and pubs.
Enjoying your stay is our main priority so we send out a list of suggested things to do and our favourite places to eat to help you make the most of your time with us with the confidence that these activities and places to eat have our seal of approval.
We love our dogs so we are delighted to welcome them to.
We are a family run business and have been operating since 2016 and have 4 houses and 14 studios at different locations around Merthyr Tydfil. We have a loyal team who have been with us since the beginning and their priority is also to make you happy.
