About the host
Hosted by Rosie
Simon and I have lived here at Duffryn Mawr since 2001 and have quietly built a friendly self catering haven for our guests. We renovated the main cottage first which was built in the 15C and moved in March 2001 with our one year old daughter Izzie. Our son, Paddy, arrived in December 2003 so our family was complete. Once we completed the cottage we started work on the stone barn and it evolved into our lovely holiday cottages which we opened in 2005 just in time for the Wales v Ireland 6 nations Grand Slam decider. What a fabulous weekend with the cottages filled with Irish fans - such a blast! Over the last 16 years we have built up a lovely, relaxed atmosphere for all our guests but boy could I tell you some stories - it has been a colourful ride and we have made some long term friendships with our returning guests. We strive to give a very warm, Welsh welcome and whilst we encourage guests to have peace and quiet we are on hand should you need any assistance with anything during your stay. We very much look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Rosie, Si and family. x
Why they chose this property
It's a comfy little property that is well equipped for a chilled out self catering break. Perfect base for visiting local attractions.
