Brilliant place

Recommend for short stay

Very clean and spacious room. We really enjoyed our stay. There was a dog bowl with treats & water and a towel waiting for our dog ☺️ cheap car park minute away

Creaky stairs leading to apartments & we struggled to lock the door, we had to find our way to close it properly

7.0 / 10.0

Great and comfortable !

Good location for hiking as it close to Pen Y Fan and the Four waterfalls trail :) Bed was super comfy, loved the smart tv and pretty spacious for a studio !

The room had a smell to it, it smelt like dogs or something even thought it was pretty clean and there were reed diffusers.

7.0 / 10.0

This place is good for short stay not for relaxing country vibe.

Location is good if you rely on public transport like me. 12mins walk to the main bus station and about 30 mins to the Four waterfalls place by taxi.

It's next to the pub and club, have to keep the windows shut all the time but still very noisy. Also can hear every movement from the other studios due to the thin floor board.

It is what it is

Nice room with enough to make it comfortable . Decent sized bathroom

Convenient and close to brecon beacons for a quick weekend stay.

Clean, easy self check in.

Extremely noisy at night with pubs/bars down the street and motorbiks racing down a busy street. The extractor fan in the bathroom sounds like a tractor😂🙈

The perfect studio!

I had the most amazing stay at James Places. Everything was perfect and the decoration was lovely. The area is brilliant and there is lots to do, the hosts have us lots of suggestions also, their communication was amazing. Everything was perfectly clean and the studio has everything you could need. We will definitely be returning in the future and I would recommend the studios to everyone. Thank you!! ☺️☺️

Catfish room.

The photos are what drew me in, but the photos do it justice, I'd never suggest it or go back

The room itself was dirty, I get the rustic theme however it's a good cover up from the fact urs so dirty, the floors were filthy, covered in dirt & hair, the bed linen smelt musky & not fresh atal , the table was sticky the toilet needed a good clean visibly unclean, location wasn't what I was expecting loads of loud teenage boys hanging around vegibd building that shouted over everytime we left room

Great place, short drive to some great sight seeing locations.

Location was good as was a short drive to most places to go hiking / sight seeing. Place was clean and well decorated, felt very cosy.

Can be very noisy on the nights with loud cars/people walking back from pubs but as its on the high street it's understandable.

8.0 / 10.0

We had a great few days visiting the attractions the area had to offer

Location in Merthyr was great for all the places we wanted to visit around the Brecon Beacons - hikes such as Pen y Fan and the four waterfalls trail, the Big Pit (which was excellent, do the tour of the mine, it was so interesting), the Show Caves, and he Brecon Beacons Railway. Re. the accomodation - decor was very creative and my kids loved the theming. Place was spotlessly clean on arrival.

Fantastic experience

Everything. The place is fantastic. Formidably decorated as a forest cabin. It is spacious and has everything you need. Also a nice surprise awaiting in the kitchen.

8.0 / 10.0

Very good

We are about 80 years old so we should have requested ground or first floor accommodationodation. Thus we found the lack of a traditional handrail on the staircases more difficult than if we were younger.

Good location The room door catch did not work properly. I needed to pull out the latch each time otherwise the door wouldn’t lock. You can hear the next door neighbours very easily

9.0 / 10.0

Super cozy, comfy and perfect for everything you could need for a weekend away!

The aesthetics were great. It was very cozy and comfortable and great to have the little kitchenette to make food. Shower was good with warm water. And the whole place was very clean. Although parking doesn’t come with the property the car park close by was very helpful. And additionally, I loved all the extra info given by the owners on the surrounding area and places to go eat and see and drive. That was a lovely touch!

I can’t think of anything that was specifically bad. It was a very comfortable stay

6.0 / 10.0

Good property and great host but area leaves much more to be desired.

Apartment was well catered in terms of furnishings, Welsh cakes and chocolates were a nice touch. enjoyed the smart TV for evening relaxing very simple to use.

All in all the property was great but the local area is extremely run down and the noise pollution and disturbances of people shouting and car horns late at night did detract from the appeal, as well as one extremely loud downstairs resident.

10.0 / 10.0

Amazing studio

Wow James place at Pontmorlais was amazing. I was so impressed by the room the decoration it’s so unique and really shows how much the hosts care about guests. I had everything I needed in the room for my stay, very clean and the beds were super comfy! Had a lovely stay and would love to come back.

10/10 stay I had an amazing time. Everything about the room was perfect. Super clean and the decor was amazing I loved it. Such a good area would definitely recommend this and so close to restaurants on the high street. Angela and James are so kind and their communication before and during the stay was amazing!!!

Great little place, with friendly host and fab for a short stay

Fun property and perfect for what we needed. It was clean and cozy. Parking was close by and the host provided us with lots of useful information. Highly recommended if you’re planning a short trip to go walking up Pen Y Fan as it’s very close.

We couldn’t work out how to change the temperature in the room and the main door off the street was very hard to open and close.

8.0 / 10.0

Great location and Comfy stay

Modern and stylish finish. Had all the things we needed including plates and cutlery, soft bedding and towels. Close to a large retail park and lots of restaurants nearby too. Ideal location.

My one niggle with the property would have to be the soundproofing of the rooms. You'll be fine if your neighbours are respectful. Other than that no issues or complaints

7.0 / 10.0

Overall, a very nice place inside and the little extra touch’s were much appreciated, But the misleading of the parking

The property inside was very nice and clean, It had a good mix of modern and a rustic twist about it.

I was very disappointed about the location and the parking, It was quite misleading I thought, I had to keep going to the car park to add more time on the ticket to pay, The only free parking available was only 20 minutes no return, But the worst part was being right next door to a club/pub which played ridiculously loud music though the night on both our nights, which there was no mention of before we booked. which kept us and our children up until the early hours, which left us to tired to experience some of the things we wanted to do the next morning. There was no way anybody could sleep through this, we almost went home on the last night because of this.

6.0 / 10.0

Pleasant

The style of the room was lovely and it was very clean. Owners were lovely.

Shower still leaked and flooded the bathroom floor after owners said it had been fixed. Parking is really poor and no signs to say what building it was just pot luck we tried the key pad otherwise would be none the wiser. Very noisy from the pubs next door and opposite especially on the Friday night.

10.0 / 10.0

Gorgeous studio flat in a fantastic location. Highly recommend!

The room had so much character & was really tastefully put together. The kitchenette was super handy with plenty of useful utensils. Bed & linen all clean & super comfortable. Great location & close to all amenities. Really useful info sent to us by hosts ahead of arrival which was handy. Would absolutely stay again!

Noting - would highly recommend.

9.0 / 10.0

Great central location with cooking facilities.

Owners were very thorough with instructions before my stay, should I want to go walking or out to country pubs and restaurants. But as I'd travelled by train and had come for the Comedy Festiva,l in April 2023. I remained close to town. Great central location, within easy walking distance of train station, comedy venues, shops, pubs and eateries. As I'd planned to cook for myself, I did so and was delighted to have the facilities to do this. Some nice welcoming touches such as tea, coffee, milk and Welsh cakes, in the kitchen and a few sweets on the bed. Beautifully clean, spacious, light and airy, with plenty of hangers for clothes. Very comfortable double bed. My request for some thin pillows was honoured. I was given a jar of delicious homemade honey to take home with me, by the owners too. Thankyou.

Lack of handrail on steep stairs up to the room, as difficult to negotiate with a large suitcase, when you're an older lady. Lack of armchair in room, as when it was raining, I stayed indoors during free time and read a book. Anything else I had problems with was due to my own inability to operate electrical equipment, I'd not seen before, or due to my lack of prior communication about spending time in the apartment, during the daytime. But this was quickly rectified by the owners coming to the apartment to instruct me and to change the heating programme.

8.0 / 10.0

Lovely modern apartment in town centre

Location was perfect. Easy to walk into the town centre. Clean and modern interior. Comfy bed. Great communication from host.

Only one glass for soft drinks. WiFi was a little intermittent at times. No bin in the bathroom and another hook for hanging towels would have been nice.

9.0 / 10.0

Superb

The hosts were so helpful and super nice! They gave us a bunch of recommendations, and answered all our questions. They even helped us find a last-minute solution for our friend who had his flight canceled and had to stay an extra night with us. It is also beautifully situated, definitely worth a visit!

The room has everything needed and is clean. They might have some issues with humidity perhaps. But it wasn't a big problem for us.
