Lovely relaxing stay in lovely accommodation.
I stayed in Gwyn for one night, The new owners have completely refurbished the studio and it is absolutely perfect for a long or short stay in lovely quiet surroundings. There is everything you would need for your stay and the cleanliness was exceptional. The owners were very helpful from start to finish and even bought new beds for my two whippets, which was very thoughtful of them. I thoroughly recommend Tunnel Cottages, i promise you will not be disappointed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in these quaint cottages in the beautiful valleys of South Wales.
We loved the cottages, which have been allowed to keep their original charm.
We loved the meadow and the view is exceptional. Waking in the morning to the most beautiful view, or having a drink on the patio with the lovely flowers and plants, was magical. The wildlife is a draw as we saw such a variety of birds and insects.

We really enjoyed our stay in Tunnel Cottages.
It was easy to access our appartment, everything was confortable. The appartement was in keeping with the information on the website. We found the guide on the table helpful especially regarding the adresses for pub and shops around. The only defect could be the bad soundproofing, we really heard our upstairs neighbors.

About the host
Hosted by Host
Hello, I’m Clair, and together with my Son Tye and other family members we run Tunnel Cottages. We love welcoming guests to our little countryside retreat, where comfort and nature go hand in hand. My partner David is the handy one who keeps everything running smoothly, our two daughters Chloe and Rosie enjoy being part of the day-to-day, and we also have two friendly ponies who love to say hello to visitors.
Our cottages are designed for cosy, relaxing stays with underfloor heating, log burners, and outdoor spaces perfect for BBQs and stargazing. We’re also pet-friendly (with a small additional charge), so your four-legged companions don’t have to miss out. A starter pack of logs is included, with extra bundles available to purchase if you’d like more.
Whether you’re here for countryside walks, local attractions, or just a peaceful break surrounded by woodland, we’re always happy to share recommendations and make you feel right at home.
