Gellihaf House  

In the Rhymney Valley near Blackwood, Gwent — a boutique, adult-only bed and breakfast positioned between Cardiff and the Brecon Beacons. Cardiff University is about 15 miles away, Cardiff Castle 16 miles and Cardiff Airport 25 miles.

Housed in a 1931 Arts & Crafts country house set on over an acre of gardens and woodland, the interior blends elegant traditional style with modern en‑suites. Rooms are warmly decorated, come with flat-screen TVs and streaming, and many units open onto a patio with outdoor dining and garden views.

Stand-out features include a restaurant, shared lounge, terrace and picnic area amid the gardens, plus free private parking, laundry service and a doctor available to guests. Expect fresh garden views and woodland air right outside your door.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout the property and in-room flat-screen TVs with streaming make it easy to work or stay connected. A handy stopover for business travelers en route to Cardiff or the Brecon Beacons.

An on-site restaurant serves meals and there’s an outdoor dining patio that looks over the gardens. Rooms feature patios or outdoor dining areas for relaxed, al fresco bites.
