Everything you need if you ride MTB trails/walk and like steep stuff...great location for the slopes, comfy place with everything you need including a good pub next door with great food.

James United Kingdom

Fantastic place to stay, the owners were lovely and really helpful. Only a 15 minute walk to the train station to Cardiff and what a brilliant walk it is.

Liam United Kingdom

Great location for my work and CYM Carn Forest; Clean, well cared for and good facilities in the room - kitchen and lounge area. Friendly hosts.

Fiona United Kingdom

Location.. great for Cwmcarn bike trails. Helpful host. Chalet annexed are good

Peter United Kingdom

It was very nice we didn't have breakfast just eat in the room

Sam United Kingdom

This was an excellent place for my work around the corner. Really welcoming. The bonus of having self catering facilities and a small lounge area.

Fiona United Kingdom

I do not normally leave reviews but on this occasion I have to. From the minute we turned up to the minute we left we were made totally welcome by the hosts and the locals in the the inn which included a lift in the pouring rain to the train station. The accommodation was was spotless clean and equipped with everything you needed. I would just like to thank the hosts for a great stay and hopefully return soon.

Gary United Kingdom

Booked for a MTB trip at Cwmcarn. Absolutely perfect for this. Staff super friendly in a great location.

James United Kingdom

very clean, modern we all had a very cosy nights sleep.

Emma United Kingdom

Being really picky maybe a sofa and a folding table and chairs instead of a table and chairs in the kitchen area.
