Situated in Margam, Glamorgan, this charming cottage is one of the oldest buildings on the farm, with its stunning red stonework believed to date back to the 1400s. The accommodation features two ground-floor bedrooms, each equipped with a superking/twin bed and a bunk bed, making it ideal for families or groups of four single travelers. Both bedrooms come with ensuite bathrooms, ensuring convenience and privacy. The cottage also boasts a large kitchen diner and a spacious lounge that opens up to a sizeable patio area, offering picturesque views of the Margam hills, perfect for relaxation and outdoor dining.
The historical significance of the cottage is underscored by its past as a stable block that once housed the farm's shire horses, the equivalent of tractors in their time. During renovations, much of the timber was found to be infested with woodworm, leading to its replacement, though the original oak stable entrances have been preserved as a nod to the building's heritage. A notable plaque commemorating the two horses provided to the Glamorgan regiment during World War I adds to the cottage's rich history. This accommodation is particularly suited for various groups, including cyclists, walkers, golfers, and large families, making it a versatile choice for visitors to the area.
