Y Bwthyn Bach

Y Bwthyn Bach lies in a secluded, yet not remote location midway between the villages of Welsh St. Donats and Ystradowen in the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan -often referred to as the 'Garden of Wales'. The lush rolling pastures are sprinkled with picturesque villages, fine gardens, ancient churches and medieval castles, surrounding the 'capital' Cowbridge, an elegant and historic town boasting many fine shops and restaurants.

In contrast the unspoiled, protected Heritage Coastline of the Vale has dramatic plunging cliffs and tiny secluded coves holding a wealth of myths and legends and providing a home for birds and wildlife, flora and fauna. For those wishing to combine these sights with a city break Cardiff the capital city of Wales with its numerous visitor attractions and many entertainment venues lies only ten miles away.

If you wish to visit Cardiff, Europe's fastest growing city for shopping,art, culture and entertainment Y Bwthy Bach is 15 mins drive from the Park & Ride, the stress free way to travel to the city.

Bryn-y-Ddafad lies only four miles from Junction 34 of the M4, making the National Botanic Gardens, the Gower Coastline, the Valleys, and the Brecon Beacons easily accessible to those travelling by car.

The house is surrounded by panoramic views and a network of footpaths providing both long and short walks, together with several hundred acres of forestry nearby. The Vale also has many fine golf courses (Two championship golf courses The Vale of Glamorgan and Cottrell Park lie within 4 miles) and affords varied opportunities for fishing( nearest trout and coarse fishing 1.5 miles away) Golfers, walkers and cyclists are welcome and facilities are available for storage of bicycles, clothes drying etc.
