Description
This quaint, mid-terrace cottage is situated in the village of Brynamman, just a stone’s throw away from the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons National Park).
Albert House is a heart-warming retreat for families seeking a break from normality, providing easy access to Swansea, South Wales the Brecon Beacons and just 150 yards away from the entrance to the River Amman cycle trail.
After locating the off-road parking space, step into the sitting room, complete with white washed cottage walls, a woodburning stove, settee and a Smart TV for catching up on your favourite shows.
Carry the conversation into the kitchen/diner, where you can prepare the dining table as the designated chef rustles up something tasty, with help from the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher, making cleaning up a breeze!
Whisk yourself off upstairs to the bedrooms, hosting a king-size and double behind original barn doors, each neutrally presented with plenty of storage space.
Wake up with a refreshing shower in the sleek shower room, before popping the kettle on for a morning coffee and enjoying the calls of the birds from the enclosed patio.
Based close to the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons National Park), there are a plethora of scenic walking trails nearby, including scenic routes to Henrhyd Falls, along with historical landmarks such as Paxton’s Tower, but if you can drag yourself to explore the other side of the Glanaman Valley, you’ll find the beautiful Cwm Clydach nature reserve, home to flycatchers, redstarts and dippers.
Other local attractions worth boxing off include the Showcaves of Wales at Dan-yr-Ogof, the Dark Sky Reserve in Wales, and the industrial heritage of the Big Pit and Blaenavon Iron works.
If you fancy a change of scenery, just 16 miles away lies the vibrant city of Swansea, home to the striking National Waterfront Museum where you can relive the industrial times of Wales, uncover distinctive art collections at The Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, source local goods at the original Swansea Market, and enjoy the exotic planting at Clyne Gardens, along with so much more.
With all this in easy reach, Albert House makes a fabulous escape to South Wales.

What guests are saying
The property was nice to stay at and the location and parking was easy.
The kitchen was nice and big and well equipped. Although the table was very wobbly and one of the chairs needed pushing back together at one point as it seemed unstable. The beds were all comfortable enough, although the upstairs double bed (in the room that had the single bed also) was very squeaky, which was a bit of a pain as it meant that any movement made a loud noise and disturbed the person in the single bed. The bathroom was nice and the shower worked well, but there was no lock on the bathroom door. The outside area was quite over grown with weeds, but was okay for sitting out on the patio. The bikes that were available to use didn’t look in good working order so we didn’t use them. The cottage was cute and worked well for us, but just a few areas that could be improved
This was my 4th stay at this property, I suppose I'm being bias about this property but i was only born some 100 yds down the road and knew the owners who bought this property many years ago, its a solid old building, comfy cosy, just the place to stay if you like exploring , hiking and not too far away from interesting pace's to explore, Brynamman was my place of birth and playground, I moved from village some 16 yrs since, a real welsh village, though not the same, I suppose you've got to move with the times.
Lovely stay at Albert House once again.
The owner goes out of his way to help with any issues. Will be visiting again soon.
