I loved the room I stayed in, the view was wonderful and the room was just like in the picture. It was very well kept and clean. The bathroom was very nice with a good shower. The kitchenette had everything I needed and was easy to use. The location was great as it was very central to everywhere.
Loved every thing about this accommodation.
Every need was catered for. Very well equipped kitchen. Quirky design. Excellent base for exploring.

About the host
Hosted by Host
At James' Places we like to offer you individually styled accommodation that is unique and a bit quirky. The property is located within the town of Merthyr Tydfil so is in a town setting but within a minutes drive of The Brecon Beacons, Pen Y Fan, Bike Park Wales, The Four Water Falls and Zip World. This gives you the benefit of being next door to the countryside but all close to the shops, restaurants and pubs. Enjoying your stay is our main priority so we send out a list of suggested things to do and our favourite places to eat to help you make the most of your time with us with the confidence that these activities and places to eat have our seal of approval. We love our dogs so we are delighted to welcome them to. We are a family run business and have been operating since 2016 and have 4 houses and 14 studios at different locations around Merthyr Tydfil. We have a loyal team who have been with us since the beginning and their priority is also to make you happy.
