Watch soft ears prick up and tails wag when you arrive at this retreat in South Wales. Set in beautiful countryside near Cwmafan, the two-bedroom retreat captures views out over the rolling hills towards Swansea Bay. It sleeps four guests and has an enclosed courtyard garden where you and your four-legged friend can soak up the scenery.
Dry damp paws and slide wellies and walking boots off in the boot room. Hang your coats and the dog lead in here and follow four paws through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Light the wood burner to warm his chilly fur then settle down in from of the Smart TV as your canine chum dozes. Dish up doggy dinners in the kitchen area, then prepare tasty meals for everyone else with the fresh Welsh produce you have sourced on your excursions. When you are ready to turn in for the night, settle your contented canine and amble through to the family bathroom to run yourself a deep bubble bath in the sumptuous sunken bath. Your bedrooms, both with characterful, sloping and beamed ceilings are on the first floor, where they enjoy picturesque views. One of these is a king-size room while the other is a super-king-size room, with a zip-and-link bed that can also be arranged as singles if discussed at booking. Let your canine friend out into the courtyard garden on sunny mornings while you prepare for your day out. Enjoy the evening sunshine out there together on summer nights. There is private parking here for two cars.
