About this property
Arian is a characterful cottage tucked away in the peaceful surroundings of Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf. Boastign a toasty woodburning stove, allowing pets and access to a shared gym, this is the perfect base for couples exploring South Wales. After arriving and parking up, the gentle sound of a nearby stream sets a tranquil tone for your stay. The entrance leads into an open-plan living space where exposed beams stretch overhead and a rustic stone brick wall adds warmth and texture. A woodburning stove provides a comforting glow, perfect for relaxing with a film or catching up on your favourite sports via Sky TV.
Underfloor heating runs throughout the space, creating a pleasant atmosphere whatever the season. The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged to support your self-catering stay, with an induction hob and electric oven ready for home-cooked meals, and a microwave, fridge/freezer box, and dishwasher tucked neatly into the layout. The dining area offers a welcoming spot to gather and share stories over dinner. A spiral staircase leads to the first floor, where the double bedroom sits beneath sloped ceilings and exposed beams, offering a restful retreat with a touch of rustic elegance. The adjoining shower room features a walk-in shower, basin and WC, ideal for refreshing after a day exploring the valleys.
Guests also benefit from access to a small gym and a shared laundry room on request, adding thoughtful touches to your stay.

Your canine companion is welcome to join you—just pop on a lead when heading out, as farm dogs also call this place home.
