Peaceful isolated farm land location with stunning views and spacious accommodation. I took elderly parents, two teens, myself and a dachshund who had a fabulous time getting back to nature. Starlit evenings, hot tub gins and a sense of calm made for a wonderful family break. The comfy beds and bed linen were of superior quality and hot water and Read moreheating were excellent. The downstairs wet room and games room were a hit with teens. Two lovely lounges and a piano which was a bonus. The super large kitchen was where we spent most of our time when indoors eating, painting and discussing the history in the those 1664 beams! The family who own Maerdy Uchaf are very friendly and even drove us up to the highest point in the pick up which was a real treat for my parents who can no longer climb. All in all we loved our stay and would encourage, those who are able, to walk those hills and absorb the superb surroundings with cows, sheep, pheasants and birds and a farmer on his quad bike Hide

We enjoyed a 4 night stay over new year, 2 families with 4 children between us. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the space inside the house was great for us all, never felt like we were overcrowded. Very comfy beds and the hosts were really helpful. Amazing views and so quiet. We would return.

The hosts at Maerdy Uchaf were extremely welcoming and helpful. The location in extremely rural, with the property being on a working farm. This provides the perfect opportunity for exploring the surrounding area. The cottage was as you would expect for a period property with a number of quirky features. It was well laid out, decorated and maintainRead moreed. The kitchen was well equipped, something I am always grateful for in self-catering accomodations. Couldn't have asked for anything more, would definitely book again when looking for somewhere with a slightly bigger group. Hide
