We had a lovely twin room (8) that we booked as we wanted to do the 4 waterfalls walk. Location was great, shops within a short drive & room was tastefully decorated & comfortable. Breakfast was delicious - included hot food, cereal, croissants etc., & cooked to order. Moira the owner is a lovely lady & made sure we were comfortable. There is a peaceful veranda to the front of the property overlooking the garden which was a fabulous place to sit in the evening with a glass of wine! There isn’t a bar but you’re welcome to bring your own 😊

    Aberdare seems a pleasant enough Welsh town with a good number of pubs and eateries and good access to surrounding towns, countryside and Cardiff. Our stay was largely about visiting family and so we did not make intensive use of the available entertainment.

    National Trust Big Pit and getting to go down disused coal mine - staff were fabulous, really interesting for all ages and worth a visit. Free Tower Zip World - hubby and son had a fab 1-1.5 hours on zip line - Approx £50 each. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bike Park Wales - £47.00 each without equipment hire they do full hire package too - well worth the visit, staff were friendly. Exhausting but fulfilling day spent going down mountain - you learn how unfit you are though as it is physically challenging. Barry Island - Home of Gavin and Stacey - paid parking but sea front is clean and well served - we went in April so rides etc only open at weekends but beach is clean and sandy. G/F fish and chips from Boofy’s on the sea front - fab ouuu lusss. Dunraven Pub - Treherbert - fab food and fab service. Catered for my Coeliac hubby which was a true bonus. Four Waterfalls Walk - amazing views and worth a visit but requires a decent amount of fitness, walk is 7.8 Kms and is tough going at times on uneven surfaces, gravel rocks, tree roots and slippy surfaces - dogs allowed but our Scottish terrier was k******ed by the time we got back, her legs were stumpier than usual. Parking around £5.00

    I was born in Aberdare and it was good to visit after many years. As with many valleys towns it looks sad compared to what it used to but still has many things to attract visitors including an excellent market. It is an ideal position for the Dare Valley Country Park as well as the Brecon Beacons. The town park - just north of the town centre - is a brilliant place where motorcycle racing occurs annually. If you stay there, try to do the Waterfalls Walk around Ystradfellte and Penderyn.

    Very easy walk into town, which is well serviced by a broad range of local shops along with a nearby Tesco superstore with petrol station. Needed an optician (forgot to pack spare contact lenses( and a choice of three within 5 mins walk.

    Abedare is ideally suited for exploring. The local walks are wonderful but also close to everywhere else you might like to explore. Town has everything you might need whilst you are away. Supermarkets, pubs, shops etc.

    Dare Park nearby has good walks and Lakes , also nice cafe and food, drive up into the hills for great views and also more walks, try Welsh Rarebit on Lava bread, Abedare has lots of take away food shops, however a lot dont take card, there are cash machines nearby, watch out for speed cameras and also 20MPH restricted zones, Asda food store nearby, before you book hotel , call the reception and make sure it has good wifi signal in the room,

    Jo and Paul are excellent hosts. Jo cooks a delicious breakfast, which provides sufficient sustenance for the rest of the day! The room was comfortable, spacious and clean, with a plentiful supply of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits to keep a small army going! Centrally placed in Aberdare, it’s a great location to access many beautiful walks in the local area, as well as beyond to the Brecon Beacons, the waterfalls at Ystradfellte, Aberdare Country Park and the local “Zip Line”

    The cottage is located a few minutes drive from the very center of Aberdare, and close to Tesco for shopping. The fireplace is easy to pop on, and heats up the living room nicely. Street parking was always convenient with space just in front of the door. We were very content staying there, and if ever in Aberdare again, wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

    Super little home from home, with everything you need. Two bedrooms and a quaint front garden and rear yard. Maria was super helpful, nothing was too much trouble. A three minute drive to Tesco, pub next door and great little pizza van. Lots of fantastic places to visit and things to do nearby in a beautiful part of Wales.

    Location was perfect with a shop down the road but being on the outskirts of aberdare and being high enough that you can see the towns lights in the evening come to life. Cosy cottage that can occupy more people than we needed and Debbie was a friendly abd gracious host.

    Very clean, nicely decorated room with small kitchenette in a corner. Lovely view across the fields from the terrace. Rural location yet close to Aberdare. A short drive to the Brecon Beacons. Nice walk along a disused railway line through the woods to the local pub.
