The Crofters Cottages - Penny Croft

Penny Croft suits families and groups after space to spread out. The cottage has three bedrooms—a king, a double, and a twin—with two bathrooms between them. Downstairs, the kitchen and dining area open onto a sitting room with beamed ceilings, and there's a separate snug with views across the countryside, plus a second living space for quieter moments. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are covered, along with wifi and on-site parking for two cars.

The property sits on two acres of lawned gardens with a summerhouse (shared with the owner and other cottages nearby), and a patio with seating. A country pub is less than a mile away. The area suits walkers and cyclists—Afan Forest Park, rated among the world's top mountain biking destinations, is close by, and the Gower Peninsula is within reach for coastal scenery. Caerphilly Castle and Cardiff are both accessible for days out. The cottage operates a no-smoking policy throughout.
