The Dairy is a charming self-catering cottage located in Margam, Glamorgan, Wales, designed to accommodate up to three guests. This Grade II listed building, originally part of an old milking parlour, has been thoughtfully converted and refurbished to provide modern comforts while preserving historical elements.

A rear door opens to a patio area that offers picturesque views of the Margam Hills, enhancing the tranquil experience of the cottage.
On the upper level, The Dairy boasts a spacious bedroom furnished with a super king bed that can easily be transformed into two single beds, catering to various sleeping arrangements. The en suite shower room adds convenience, while the cottage's original wooden ceiling beams and reclaimed oak floors, sourced from an old private school in Cardiff, contribute to its rustic charm.
