Family-friendly vacation rentals in Merthyr Tydfil County Borough

Amazing stay here with my husband. The cottage was perfect for a relaxing and quiet weekend. The breakfast basket was a lovely touch and everything was as described in the listing. Joy is a brilliant host checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly! Would definitely stay again!!

6 of us stayed here for taking part in the Dragon ride. Perfect location for this as it's a straight road to the start. The accommodation was everything you'd expect from a farm cottage, quirky, nice layout and great facilities. Easy check in and out, what more do you need! Thanks John/Liz for providing a cracking place to stay.

Great location with lovely views. We stayed for our wedding and Lucy was very accommodating with deliveries etc dropping things off in the morning. Lucy's place was very clean and had all the amenities you could want. A great place!

Absolutely cannot recommend this cabin enough. The surroundings are so peaceful and private. So much outside space to explore. Totally enclosed outside space my 2 shih Tzus adored exploring on their own safely! The cabin is very spacious, well equipped and the utility room was perfect for all the doggo belongings! Highly recommended for total relaxation from the real world. Grab a champagne and get in the hot tub and watch the sheep go by!

If you're looking for a peaceful corner of paradise, this is it. The Round House genuinely is the perfect getaway from it all cottage. So relaxing sitting and listening to the birds and the stream going by, regardless of whether you're in the hot tub or not (what a bonus!). The cottage itself is lovely, it has everything you could possibly need, with some really nice touches throughout. Kate is a fantastic host, and the guest folder has plenty of information of things to see and do during your stay. So what are you waiting for?! Thanks Kate - a much-needed break and exactly what we were looking for! Andy, Kath and Olly x

Thank you for a wonderful stay. So calm and peaceful and just what we needed to relax! We bought our dog who loved roaming around the enclosed garden. Beautiful well equipped cabin and hot tub.

Merlin's cottage was a perfect base for our trip to the area. We had come for Man v Horse and location was great! The property itself was clean and really spacious! We were surprised by the space it offered for a one bedroom cottage! It was clean and in a lovely condition. Communication was very easy with John and Liz, check in was so simple, clear instructions and labels on everything! It was just what we needed!

Great location to explore mid Wales. perfect for a big group, although I would keep in mind most rooms have a bed on a mezzanine, incase you have people that would struggle with that. we went as a big family get together and was perfect for adults and kids. kitchen was good enough for big meals and the pump track 2 mins away was brilliant t for the kids.

My mom and I had an amazing long weekend stay at the cottage! The location was so peaceful, and it was very thoughtful for Emma to leave some breakfast foods (bread, eggs, and milk) for us. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and the beds were very comfortable. Being able to walk to Pen y Fan, Cribyn, and Fan y Big was absolute perfection. We even walked into town for groceries and ice cream. We were sad to leave. I would definitely recommend a stay here!

Absolutely loved staying here may bank holiday weekend. Location was stunning, safari tent was great fun. Definitely pack ear plugs as can get a little windy on the night. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Fabulous place to stay in a lovely location. The house is well stocked, clean, tidy and a really lovely and welcoming space. The welcome pack with information on restaurants, pubs, and walks in the area was incredibly useful. Lovely location right next to the canal. Would highly recommend.

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!

Claire's place was perfect for our needs as a base for a walk in the Brecons. It had a well equipped kitchen, and even Sky TV. Claire was a great host, responsive, easy to contact, had some local recommendations and even gave us a lift to the pub.

This was a fantastic cottage for a birthday celebration with our family group of eight. The location is stunning. We went on a lovely walk in the hills behind the cottage with panoramic views of the countryside, recommended by Lise. The hosts were very accommodating and were flexible with the check out time when it snowed on the last day! The cottage was also very cozy and warm with the wood burner and heating. Overall, a great experience! Thanks.

Robert was welcoming and gave us some Welsh cakes on arrival. Will visit again if in the area for a weekend break. thanks again James & Charlotte and the dachshunds

A group of 7 of us with children had a good long weekend staying at the Old Coach House. The house is extremely well stocked with everything you would need for a holiday, with beautiful views and peaceful surroundings. The living room is spacious allowing for good social times in the evenings, with a variety of games and movies available as well plenty toys for the little ones. We had a-bit of difficulty with parking 4 cars but managed it okay in the end. The walks and boat rides near the lakes were lovely. We made a good use of garden and of BBQ. Would certainly come back again. Thank you Liz!

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!

We had such a lovely stay at the Potting Shed. The location was beautiful- so peaceful and picturesque. The Airbnb was cosy and the bed was extremely comfy. We were there in 30 degree heat but it was lovely and cool inside. Would highly recommend and would love to come back one day and stay again!

Had a great weekend over Easter at Jan’s place - a beautiful garden - the kids loved the trampoline and pool - we cooked BBQ outside our Accomodation kin the peaceful garden - had great fish and chips and a cider in Watchet - the nearest harbour town (10 min drive) - we also visited from the house; quantock hills (15 min drive) killer beach (15 min drive) minehead (40 mins) and linmouth - beautiful drive over Exmoor. Would definitely come back

Sure! Here's a warm, thoughtful Airbnb review template you can customize depending on your experience: --- We had the most wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Wales. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home—the place is beautifully kept, spotlessly clean, and full of character. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and peaceful stay, including a well-equipped kitchen, cosy living area, and a very comfortable bed. The location is perfect—tucked away in nature, yet still close enough to explore the local town and walking trails. Waking up to the sound of birds and enjoying our coffee with a view of the hills was truly magical. Our host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and full of great recommendations for things to do in the area. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and experience the beauty of rural Wales.

A beautifully presented caravan. Thoughtfully, there were a few of the essentials included in the kitchen and bathroom, in case anything was forgotten. The view was truly stunning and we particularly enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning and evenings a watching ships sail past. The location was really peaceful, not even the expected chorus of gulls to disturb us. We used the caravan as a base for exploring the local area by car and did not use the site facilities, so we cannot comment on their quality. Of note; as far as we could tell, there was no access on foot to the beach and therefore waterfall (there is a path shown on OS maps to the beach, but it is closed due to cliff erosion), nor the neighbouring caravan site.

Nice lovely cottage, with plenty to do nearby. Very clean and well maintained.

Great little caravan where you'll feel at home. With kids this location was great, loads to do at the park, and the beach is a good stroll away too. The park itself is one of the quieter ones, which is great when you're travelling with family. If you need to stay in this area I would recommend. The local "chefs corner" is a place where I'd only recommend having pizza 😉 but there are magnificent places to eat around here, some are listed in the guidebook in the property. Thanks to Rihanna all aspects of the stay went very smoothly.

We had a fabulous three night stay in the patch cottage. Everything was perfect and couldn’t have been any better. As soon as we walked in it felt homely and welcoming; the amenities were great - though we didn’t use them. Weston-super-mare was but a 15-20 minute drive away. I can’t recommend this place enough, I will definitely be back! Thank you! 🫶🏽
