About this property
The Cabin is a detached lodge based on Nant Moel Isaf Farm (ref 1060276) in a secluded countryside location near the town of Pontardawe, South Wales. Peacefully placed away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this remote log cabin serves as the perfect romantic getaway. Accessed via a quiet country track, park outside the property and simply admire the awe-inspiring views. Step up into the lodge and into its tastefully decorated living area, stylish and open-plan with thoughtful touches to make you feel right at home. The stylish kitchen is well-appointed and also hosts a delightful breakfast bar where you can enjoy those hearty home-cooked meals together.

Exactly what was required, a peaceful weekend relaxing without the kids. Got a break in the weather and jumped straight in the hot tub which was just fantastic.

Great location, all the amenities you could want, plenty of space to relax, very likely to return in the summer with it only being a short drive to the coast. My only comment would be the chlorine level of the hot tub, as to not disturb their guests they do not do daily PH checks of the hot tub and top up with chlorine when required. Instead there is a little floating pod that stays in the hot tub with chlorine inside. This did cause mine and my partners skin to become incredibly dry which we weren't prepared for so had no moisturiser to combat the dry skin. Only mentioning this so future guests know to pack a bottle of body lotion.
