Cilbrwyn is a 140 year old former gamekeepers residence, situated in a very quiet rural countryside setting, surrounded by woodlands, waterfalls, lawns and shrubberies. Whilst it is an ideal quiet retreat, is also approx. 15 minutes drive from the M4, and 15 more from main train and bus stations. The Cilbrwyn Estate itself is situated in a quiet part of the Swansea Valley - equidistant from the Brecon Beacons National Park and The Gower Peninsular. Small village-type towns are Pontardawe, Ystalyfera and Ystradgynlais, providing many leisure and sporting facilities. Cilbrwyn boasts an array of wildlife and rare birds at various times of the year, and all our guests are encouraged to participate in our family festivities -both indoors and outdoors, with the minimum of rules and regulations. Cilbrwyn has been tastefully renovated by Bob over the last 20 years to provide a modern, comfortable family home, and we would wish our guests to ''feel home-from-home'.
Olha is originally from the Ukraine but has made Wales her adopted home... she is a British Citizen. As a result she speaks the Ukrainian, Russian and Polish Languages, and would be pleased to welcome citizens from these countries also.
