So many amenities around the area and a quick 5 minute drive and you're in the nearest town. The house was immaculate, everyone felt at ease and at home for the whoRead morele duration. We really cannot wait to come back as it was absolutely perfect. Team beach rugby Wales would like to thank Donna for her hospitality and for this beautiful home that held 15 rugby lads with ease.

This house in Cwmavon is a real hidden gem, with the beautiful surroundings and so much to do within a ten mile radius is just awesome. The house, the decor, the garden it really was all perfect. If you do not know about this place then you really need to get to know about this place.

Cwmavon is an incredible village, to have a house of this size which was centred in the heart of the valley with everything around us being so accessible was just a real treat. The house was cozy yet still felt so spacious it is beautiful.

What an awesome place for anybody who needs a house for a big group. The house was filled with activities for young or older people. The boys loved it and can't wait to come back.

Great position to explore especially if you're a cyclist. Great venue for a group of people. Really enjoyed the tableble tennis and football machines - we had a fab time. All bathrooms use push button taps - run for a few seconds only. One set temp for all taps.
