Family-friendly vacation rentals in Aberdare

Location was stunning, the host was lovely and it has beautiful walks on the doorstep. Hot tub definitely worth the extra money as elevates the stay to another level. The dog thoroughly enjoyed his stay as well!

Vicki's place is far from the madding crowd. A peaceful haven set in the Welsh hills with lovely walks and Monmouth and Hereford accessible by car. If its peace and tranquility you want, it's perfect. The house is very large and comfortable with a bright modern kitchen that offers lovely views. Vicki is very friendly and responsive in communications.

A great place to stay as we were visiting the Royal Welsh Showground at Builth Wells. The accommodation was extremely clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.

We had a really lovely stay. Such a beautiful place with everything you need! Spotlessly clean and very comfortable

We had an excellent stay. All amenities were close by. The house was clean and everything we required was available. The hot tub was lovely. The walk to the beach was fine, but difficult if young kids were with you, or not reasonably fit. We would definitely stay again!

We were welcomed by Mez and from minute one nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic host and brilliant stay. So good we are already looking at available dates for summer.

Had an amazing time! Hosts were fantastic, gave great instructions for the fire, kitchen appliances and hot tub. Our dog absolutely loved the private field and we got to see the amazing sunset and stars from the top of the hill - Thank you! We loved our stay and the gifts were a lovely suprise 10/10

The most dog friendly place we’ve stayed! Thank you for a great stay, the dogs loved the flexibility of being to wander about in the garden.

I stayed with Mike and Bert for two weeks while a house sale went through, I brought with me my high maintenance Bengal cat Kevin Bacon. During our stay Mike has gone out of his way to accommodate us, the accommodation is completely separate and lockable, I felt completely safe, I knew Kevin was secure and didn’t see any red flags. Mike is laid back and approachable, the perfect host. The bed is extremely comfortable and everything I have needed has been included with no extra costs or limitations. Bert is a very good boy and has been trained properly, he doesn’t go upstairs but he will bring you a shoe each time he sees you as a greeting, Bert was completely safe around Kevin when I took Kevin in the garden. There is easy parking at the accommodation and lots to do in the area, lots of walks, castles, stepping stones over rivers, sand dunes, beaches, horse riding and a decent selection of Pubs. If I ever end up homeless again I will be coming back! Thank you.

We had a lovely few days at the Barn, using is as a base to explore the valleys, and sights in Carmarthenshire. The Barn is lovely and cosy - and actually feels bigger than it looks on the pictures. We loved the wood burning stove, with fuel provided and fire made the first night, which was a real treat to use - and if you are visiting at the right time of year, be sure to look outside at the stars in the dead of night, because we were able to see so much. The place would be easy to miss if you didn’t know where you were going, but we had very clear instructions beforehand and found it no trouble. To anyone wondering about the internet - some reviews here mention WiFi, but as advertised, there is no WiFi - which we actually enjoyed. If you need internet, mobile data doesn’t really work inside the barn, but was available as soon as one stepped outside, which was fine for our satnav purposes. Ann also offered to help us access the internet if there was an issue, but this wasn’t needed.

Wonderful long weekend at Flagstone Cottage, the most peaceful place we’ve ever been, no car noises whatsoever and beautiful scenery. Cottage was exactly as described. We asked for the BBQ to come back out and Clare actually brought out all the outside furniture for us to use which was a nice surprise when we got back from our day trip. Our 5yo daughter loved the mezzanine bedroom and being able to have multiple baths a day (we only have a shower at home). The walk from Llanthony Priory up Hatterhall hill is amazing and the pint in the priory grounds at the end was very scenic and rewarding! Hay-On-Wye is well worth a visit, Abergavenny also.

I loved everything about this place, the bed was very comfy and the location was perfect. The bath and shower are wonderful and so is the soap and shower gel and linens available. I loved the eco friendly toilet paper too. Two points to note: there was no chopping board I could see? Fortunately most of my food was already prepared so it was not a big deal. And I believe it is the hot water tank that makes a noise intermittently? So, if you're a light sleeper like me, you'll need ear plugs despite being in very quiet and peaceful countryside. I loved my stay here it was very special and I would stay again when visiting the brecons!

Gosh, what a beautiful place Aberdar is! Whilst it’s off the beaten track it offers the most superb views across the hills, and the garden and orchard areas are so peaceful to wile away the hours. The cottage was perfect too, everything you need for a relaxing break. The dogs had a brilliant time making our holiday even easier! Loved every second ❤️

Beautiful location, so peaceful and relaxing. Property is first class and matches its surroundings. Beautiful.

Hosted my sister’s hen do here and it was perfect! Had all the amenities we needed (is bigger than the photos make it seem) and Kate was very helpful providing flexible check in and out.

We had a fantastic week here, the views and setting were just amazing. The accommodation was clean and cosy, Danielle and Tom were great hosts- so friendly and very very responsive and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble! The kids loved the swimming pool and its long opening hours. Although there were other families staying in the other cottages it always felt very tranquil and peaceful with us often having exclusive use of the pool. It was great having a washing machine to use daily, as well as lots of other bonuses. We will definitely be back!

A place with the WOW factor. Scenery is just amazing. Beautiful little spot with the added bonus of a pool and our own private hot tub. Relaxing environment and spacious surroundings. Totally recommend.

Great, rustic and characterful property. Nice, comfortable place, great location, very authentic. Great host who was always quick to reply and very accommodating. Loads to do on site (Leisure facilities on site) and castles and beaches not too far away (Via a car)! Very well equipped kitchen with everything needed. Good WiFi, smart TV and good size rooms. Upstairs bedroom is open to living room. A spacious living room with ample parking Comfortable beds with good pillows. Highly recommend!

The house was amazing with a very nice warm pool and jacuzzi stunning views from the house loads of garden space to play around communication was top top thanks

Had the most amazing stay. Felt very welcome emma was lovely. Stunning place as described. Really just felt like a home to home. Kids enjoyed swimming pool, had amazing views while sitting in hot tub. Will defo book again. Really is a hidden gem. Great places nearby.

Woodpecker Cottage is a wonderful place to stay, comfortable, well-equipped, and full of charm. Gyles is a fantastic host; welcoming, thoughtful, and always happy to go the extra mile to ensure you feel at home. The log burner was a real treat and made our stay even more special. Thank you, Gyles!

Had an amazing stay. The apartment is much bigger than the photos and was such an easy walk into the centre of Cardiff. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a fantastic stay in the Brecon Beacons for the Easter holiday. Clare was a very welcoming host who provided easy to follow directions and a very hospitable welcome including fine cake and prosecco. The accommodation was exactly what we wanted with all the amenities described including gym and hot tub. The home is very well located for walking, it is even possible to walk to Pen y Fan directly from the house! A special thanks to her son-in-law T who was very helpful and enjoyable company!
