2,Tan yr Eglwys is set in the idyllic hamlet of Cilybebyll, a dozen houses and an ancient church on the upland between Neath & Pontardawe. It is just 9 miles from Swansea and the coast., but well located to discover most of S. Wales. Set in fields and woodland, guests can enjoy walks from the door in the countryside and return to a cosy retreat with a log burner. The cottage is the oldest home in the hamlet, but has been carefully renovated to provide all that is required of a modern home whilst retaining some cottage qualities. There is a spacious lounge and dining area, with comfortable seating for up to 5 guests and a log burner to enjoy. This is simply a desirable feature as the cottage is efficiently centrally heated. Alongside the dining area is a small well equipped kitchen area and an adjacent utility room with a second sink unit. The shower and bathroom is on the ground floor and adjacent to the downstairs single bedroom which is invaluable to guests with impaired mobility or don't wish to use the stairs. Upstairs the master bedroom has a king size bed with countryside views. Adjacent is a single room, which has an additional pull out bed for a young family.
A Hi from Helen Lloyd who jointly with my husband Allen will welcome you to Tan yr Eglwys. I have returned to my home area having lived away for much of my career, working in the fashion and textile industry in Scotland and elsewhere in the UK as well as great travel opportunities in many other countries. I have diverted the design training to the upkeep of the cottage and enjoy making suggestions of the best places to visit when guests are here on holiday. Allen is a civil engineer by trade therefore having complementary talents, therefore takes care of the maintenance and keeps the supply of logs going. We love living in a quiet rural area, but with a great road network that allows us to be close to the spectacular mountains, fabulous beaches and towns of South Wales.
The cottages enjoy a countryside setting with panoramic views over the surrounding fields and hills. It is easy to forget that just minutes away are major 24 hour super for all seasons. We have so much to offer on our door step: Coastal paths and breathtaking beaches Canal Walks and waterfalls Countryside and cities Hidden caves and castles galore Culture and museums Majestic mountains and quaint towns and so much more… and of course – the Comfort of the Cosy Cottages Come to Explore Just 20 minutes away from the M4 motorway is a quiet haven, your holiday cottage awaits you. The central location is perfect to explore South Wales and discover the many attractions in all directions. The Brecon Beacons National Park, the award winning Gower beaches, Afan Argoed Mountain bike trails and stunning waterfalls of the nearby Neath valley – indeed, easy access to Swansea, Cardiff, a wide range of landscapes, attractions, and activities. Whatever the Season, there are Adventures to have and Memories to be made. With such a variety of places to visit, we are always happy to advise our guests.
