My wife, dogs & I had a wonderful visit at The Old Boot Room. The accommodations were great and the hosts were very helpful. The location is in a beautiful part of South Wales surrounded by beautiful farms and hills. There is a local pub within easy walking distance.

The Old Boot Room was absolutely fantastic we stayed during a very hot spell with our dog and the property was always lovely and cool. The hosts were also very welcoming. The old boot room is private and very quiet, and we felt at home from the moment we arrived.The bed was super comfortable and is definitely the best one we have had from all the cottages we have rented previously.The welcome pack and other items left by the hosts in the old boot room were amazing and very much appreciated and our dog loved the treats. Cannot recommend the old boot room highly enough and we will definitely be returning.
