Perfect Group Getaway – Spacious, Secure & Adventure-Ready!

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this holiday complex! The location is perfect—nestled in stunning mountain scenery, right on a national walk/cycle trail, and just a short drive to Bike Park Wales. It’s also within easy reach of major attractions like ZipWorld and the Principality Stadium, making it ideal for adventure seekers, music fans, and sports enthusiasts.Our group of 10 stayed here, and the accommodation was perfect for us—secure, spacious, and well-equipped. The mix of private rooms and dorms worked well, and the four shower rooms (including a wet room) meant there was never a queue. The two kitchens had everything we needed, and the large games room was a great social space, complete with board games and TVs.The private five-a-side football/basketball court was a fantastic bonus, as was the secure internal bike storage. I also appreciated the strong Wi-Fi, which worked well around the house.The property feels incredibly safe, with electric/manual steel shutters on all doors and windows, plus 24/7 CCTV. Despite its security features, it has a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, and being at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac meant we had total peace and privacy.One of the most unique aspects was the access to the private NFT art gallery—something that is really cool!Overall, this place exceeded expectations. Whether you’re here for biking, hiking, or just a relaxing getaway, it’s got everything you need. Our group had an amazing time.
