Bwlch Farm Lodge

Perched at the top of a country lane on a working farm in Cwmafan, this stone-built converted farm building is the ultimate retreat for families and friends. With picturesque views from nearly every window and a tranquil setting, it offers the perfect mix of countryside charm and modern comfort, complete with a private hot tub and a roaring wood burner.

The open-plan lounge/diner exudes warmth and charm, with a crackling wood burner to create a cosy haven after a day of exploring. The country-style kitchen nods to the building’s heritage, providing all you need to prepare hearty meals using local produce.

A contemporary downstairs wet room is ideal for rinsing off after tackling the nearby trails. Upstairs, the king-size bedroom features a Juliet balcony offering sea views, plus a Smart TV for relaxing evenings.

The remaining bedrooms include a flexible twin and a family room with a flexible super-king-size bed, an additional single bed for children and a Smart TV. At the end of the day, indulge in a soak in the elegant free-standing bath in the family bathroom.

Outside, the private patio is a lovely spot to enjoy morning coffee as the sun rises or toast the sunset with your favourite drink. Unwind in the bubbling hot tub while soaking up the rural surroundings.

Additional conveniences include private parking for three cars and secure bike storage. Situated between Port Talbot and Afan Forest Park, this property is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts.
