About this cottage rental

A 2 bedroom 17th century cottage that has been renovated to a high standard. Situated on the side of Caerphilly mountain, the property has been lovingly restored to offer a sitting room with log burner, fully fitted kitchen with integrated washing machine, dish washer and fridge freezer and dining room. There is a free view flat screen TV in the sitting room. The main bedroom has patio doors leading onto a large private balcony where you can enjoy the spectacular views. Great for walkers. Car is not essential as there is a bus stop 10 yards away. The city of Cardiff is just 15 minutes away. Country pubs in walking distance, 3 golf courses within 5 minutes and the historic 12 century castle situated in Caerphilly town. There is horse riding, bowling, cinemas and zip wire fun all situated nearby. The property benefits from central heating and off road parking. The property is on a MAIN ROAD, with easy access to Cardiff, Caerphilly and surrounding areas. At present there is a small seating area at the rear of the property. The remainder of the land consists of wild flowers, trees and lovely views. There is also a clothes line. Please note that there is an 18th Century graveyard next to the property and a main road to the front of the property so traffic noise is possible. This property is strictly no smoking and is not suitable for pets.

If any guests have symptoms of covid during your stay, please inform us immediately. I will leave black bags in the wardrobe and if you are able could you put your used linen and towels in these when you leave. This would be much appreciated and only added in these circumstances. We live 5 minutes away from Chapel House and will be on hand if you have any questions or concerns during your stay.

Laura was very quick to respond to the initial booking and checking in with us that we had all that we needed during our stay. The bread milk and Welsh cakes were very much appreciated.. The cottage is beautifully down out inside. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to use. We loved the wood burner. and there were some gorgeous views from the two balconies at the back of the property. The main bedroom was spacious with a comfy bed. good bedside lighting and the balcony opening onto a Mountain View . The second bedroom overlooked the road and had two single beds - a brighter table lamp would be a good addition. It was great to have the bathroom positioned between the two bedrooms giving an ensuite option to both.The WiFi was good, but we did have a small problem with getting the Netflix to work. Laura said that she would look into it.. We had a really enjoyable stay and will definitely come again when we are next in the area.

The outside of the property was a little run down however inside the property was very clean and comfortable, the only issues we found were the door to the bathroom from the double bedroom was broken along with the toilet seat that would slip off when you sat on it. Views from the balcony were lovely. The property is on a fairly busy main road but this wasn’t a huge issue for us. Think the outside areas could do with a little attention! Overall very clean and well equipped!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute little cottage. Everything we needed and some very welcome touches like bread and tea coffee. Located on a very busy road made it a little hectic pulling into and out of the driveway for me, but was generally quiet at night. Great location to everything. Would definitely recommend to others.

Great homely cottage. Easy access location. Easy 25mins to Cardiff city centre. Clean with cosy bedrooms. Fantastic pubs within 2minute drive, takeaways 5 minute drive. Instant communication with owner Laura. Road can get noisy till 11 at night, but didn't affect our sleep. Just have to bear in mind infants need to stay in bedroom away from roadside. Modern amenities and a warm welcome. Would definitely return.

The cottage is well equipped and suited us for a short stay in the area. It doesn't look much from the outside, especially with the chapel next door being empty, but don't let that deter as the inside has been tastefully renovated. There are nice towels and bed linen. Overall a comfortable place to stay.

We were arrived to meet a kind welcome gift after struggling somewhat to find the property. However, Laura kindly guided us on the phone until we arrived. The cottage is well equipped and has a stunning view from upstairs. However, the road is uphill and the property is after a bend so cars are driving very fast and the noise can be heard in the living room. The Gruffalo Trail is an absolute must for families with young children. Lots to do within the locality. We love Wales and had never been to Cardiff before, we had a lovely time, thank you Laura.

6.0 / 10.0

The property was lovely and exceptionally clean, very spacious. Comfortable beds. 2 lovely balconies looking out at wonderful views and scenery, to sit out the back which were very private. Overall the cottage was lovely. Just the stairs were quite steep, and getting a large suitcase up the stairs was quite difficult. The noisy traffic from the main road was relentless, and spoilt what could have been a very peaceful place.

10.0 / 10.0

Property exactly as described, well equipped and was cosy and welcoming. Exceptional views from the terrasses. The birdsong was amazing. Ideally situated to visit Caerphilly and its castle as well as visits to Cardiff and beyond. Excellent communication with the owner from the beginning. Would not hesitate to book this property again if we are in the area

Chapel House is cozy and comfortable. The location is close to the Caerphilly center and was a great base for us to explore Wales. The parking was sometimes a little intense but even though the road in front of the house was often busy the house itself is well insulated and very quiet. Laura the host was very nice and responsive. Overall a great stay and we recommend.

We enjoyed our time at the Chapel House, the birds in the morning on the back deck, and Laura’s excellent communication with us before and during our stay.

So much better than a hotel due to it’s rustic but modern charm. Close to Careaphilly and anywhere in the area. Stayed 11 nights and never slept better. Very clean and well maintained property with great views. Lastly Laura was very accessible for questions and wanted us enjoy our stay while celebrating our grandsons wedding.

We enjoyed a few days in a very cold February in this charming, characterful, warm and cosy cottage. It was well equipped with a modern kitchen and shower room, comfortable bed and effective central heating. The property is on a busy main road and the traffic was audible in the front facing lounge and twin bedroom. The traffic noise in the double bedroom at the rear of the property was barely audible, did not affect our sleeping, and had lovely views across the valley to Caerphilly and the adjacent wooded hills. Communication with our hosts was excellent.

We were looking for a place to stay when visiting Cardiff to watch the rugby. Hotels in Cardiff are always expensive and this cottage seemed ideal for our needs. It was a very easy 7 mile journey into Cardiff. The cottage itself is larger than appears on the website. Downstairs the lounge, kitchen and dining room are all ample size and the kitchen is very well stocked with washing machine and dishwasher. Only used the double bedroom but the twin room seemed very comfortable as well. The outside balcony seemed lovely with great views but didn’t managed to sit there as the weather wasn’t so great. Great communication from the owner. Highly recommended. A real gem.

The house was very nicely set out, we had a jam packed weekend so we didn’t spend long in the property. Not being a family the shared toilet shower by connecting doors was interesting, the stairs were very steep so not great for older people but we managed fine, not all taxis could find the property but the local company managed ok. Traffic was a little noisy as it was a high speed road outside that wasn’t too much of a worry as we didn’t have very young children with us, Laura the owner was lovely and checked in on us on the phone to check we had everything, this property has everything you need for a home away from home.

Great contact with host Laura. Lovely little cottage. Nice welcome gift. Lots of character. Everything you need to get you started for the stay. Lovely and clean.

8.0 / 10.0

Photos reflect the cottage well. It has a nice feel and was well equipped. Cosy lounge with good sized kitchen and dining area. It is a little out of Caerphilly and up a hill, so a car is best. Enjoyed Caerphilly more than expected. Easy to pop on the train to central Cardiff. Lovely views out of the back of the property. The only real drawback was the noise from passing traffic.

Speedy response from host allowed us to sneak in a short stay between their other bookings. Really helpful, and a beautiful, clean cottage with super views. Rooftop breakfasts in the sunshine were an unexpected boost. Short hop to Cardiff and the coast; lovely mountain walks and the children loved the Gruffalo Trail at Mountain View Ranch on the doorstep.

Beautiful hillside retreat

Beautiful hillside retreat

The property was even more charming in real life than in the photos. It’s conversion had been very well thought out and it retained all its period features with exposed brick walls and beams. We were not put off at all by the neighbouring graveyard, in fact my younger daughter was quite interested in trying to read the headstones. It was also nice to hear the Wednesday evening choir practise from the Chapel. It was very well placed for visiting Cardiff which was only a 15 minute drive, or 30 minutes if you caught the numerous sets of traffic lights going into the city centre! Barry Island was approx 30 minutes drive in the opposite direction and there are numerous castles and places of interest less than 30 minutes away. Chapel Cottage was very easy to find and had all the facilities one would want. We even managed to eat dinner on the terrace, with its stunning views, a couple of evenings when the weather allowed. Laura was very helpful with local information during our stay via email and we would highly recommend Chapel Cottage.

Great little house

Great little house with wonderful views. The house was very clean, modern and full of character. We came on a very cold wet evening so getting the log fire on was a real pleasure. There is a little road noise at rush hour like the description says but it would only be a problem for the lightest of sleepers

The cottage is quaint and the welcoming basket much appreciated. However the photograph gave us a different view. It came as a shock to find out we were on the main road to Cardiff and the traffic noise at night time kept us awake. Not having a car and learning the bus system was a challenge which we finally figured out. The Mountain View’s were beautiful and the scenery delightful, The stairs In the cabin were a challenge wouldn’t recommend for someone with walking difficulties or bad knees

Our family had a lovely weekend staying at Chapel House. The house had all the comforts of home and the lovely welcome basket with some extra special treats for the kids was really appreciated. Good location, we were able to catch the bus into Cardiff from just outside the front door and easy driving to the other sights we wanted to get to. Would have no hesitation in staying here again.
