We were delighted with the house, it was spacious, clean and we loved the outdoor area. The host was very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Patrick

Sejour merveilleux tout etait parfait beaucoup d espace literie au top trs belle vue et calme total

George

The owners really go out of their way to think of everything. Stuff to do for the kids, facilities, etc. It was a wonderful stay with my family and we would 100 do it again. Owners were quick to answer messages and even came out on new years day when we had problems with something.

We had a lovely stay at Ty Ffarm for our son's wedding weekend. The property is gorgeous, with fantastic views and absolutely everything that you could want for a stay comfortable, homely, loads of toysgamesbooks etc, everything you would need in a kitchen plus more. Hosts are great and hot tub was fab for stargazing in November. Would definitely recommend for a family break and hope to go again. It is a 10min drive to a large supermarket but you feel you are in the middle of nowhere peaceful and lovely walks. Top of the valley, so everywhere is downhill but means you have great views.

Patricia

Babs could not have been more helpful and even made a special purchase as we were using the sofa bed. Perhaps the listing should make it clear how far the farm is out of town. Noone's fault, but the road systems in P y P are a nightmare!!!

We had an amazing week at Ty Ffarm Cottage and would like to say a big thank you to Babs and Alan for the lovely welcome of cakes and wine. The setting is stunning and hot tub was just what we needed after exploring wonderful Wales

Wow, what an excellent spacious family cottage with all the facilities needed to enjoy a beautiful holiday break. So many facilities for children. From a fantastic large patio area with secure fencing for younger children to a trampoline for the older. A beautiful setting over looking the valley's. Babs the owner was lovely and always helpful with any queries we had. The cake and wine which greeted us on arrival was very much appreciated.

Lesley

We had a wonderful week on the farm. The property is managed to such a high standard and everything has been thought of. The welcome cake and wine was an extra special touch! The children did not play with any of the toys we brought with as the offering at the farm is beyond generous. What more could you want than a hot tub overlooking the stunning landscape of south Wales while friendly sheep graze in the field next to you. Babs is a lovely host and nothing was a bother. We hope to be back someday!

Amanda

Babs was very attentive from the start, communicating with us regarding our requirements and making sure everything was perfect for our arrival. We were very impressed with the gorgeous house and the garden which was a fantastic safe space for my 2yr old nephew to run around. He was in awe of the outdoor and indoor toys which kept him occupied for hours. We were very lucky with the weather and one day we spent sunbathing on the sunbeds, and in the hot tub, had a fab BBQ, felt like we were abroad! Not near another property so didnt have to worry about bothering anyone with noise and music except the sheep! Bedrooms, bathrooms were lovely and everywhere was beautifully clean. Cakes and wine waiting for us on arrival. Had the best few days away. Would definitely go back again. Thank you so much Babs xx

Richard

Babs and the team at Ty Ffarm have done a terrific job in presenting a holiday farmhouse which thoroughly deserves a Perfect 10! Beautifully located with superb views in a peaceful and tranquil setting, Ty Ffarm is excellently equipped both inside and out, spotlessly clean with everything a party of up to 10 could want. Highlights are the outdoor hot tub, bbq and play area and inside the family kitchen, two drawing rooms and comfortable bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. Nothing can be faulted and we look forward to our next visit!

Yvette

Ty Faarm is such a wonderful place to stay. Its the one time where the photos have not done justice to how beautiful the place is. Plenty of room for the 9 of us staying, Babs was a wonderful host and communicator and everything went perfectly. We were in town for Oasis and just wish we got more time to stay at the property and enjoy all the features. Stunning place.

Roisin

We had such an incredible week at Ty Ffarm! The most beautiful views from the farmhouse and from the walks up the hill, and the house was more than we could have dreamed everything you would ever need!! Babs and Alan were so helpful as well. Truly an amazing place to stay. Thank you so much!

Tracey

Had a wonderful family stay, everything we could of wished for & more. Definitely worth a stay here

Wonderful house! 10 of us stayed for a Hen party, and this house was perfect! The bedrooms were lovely, lots of space downstairs with 2 living areas and a large kitchen. The garden was my favourite part, the weather wasnt great but we still managed to enjoy the hot tub, with the gorgeous views! And It was really easy to use! Babs was so friendly and helpful, I messaged her many times before we arrived, asking questions and she was always fast to reply with the answers and very kind! The cake and fizz were a lovely surprise on arrival. There was a really helpful folder on arrival, which had a list of takeaway places, so we ordered in on the Friday. We went into Cardiff on the Saturday night and Babs sent me a list of taxi numbers so we could arrange it beforehand. It took about 30 minutes to get into the centre. I would highly recommend this house!

We had a fabulous time at Ty Ffarm although much too short. The venue was ideal for the large family that we are and everyone expressed an interest in returning for a longer stay next time. Thank you for all your help and all your communications even though I didn't read the last one until I arrived home! Best wishes Gale and family

Jessica

I cannot rate this property highly enough. It is the most beautiful house with outstanding views this place really is breathtaking. We booked this for a hen party and it was perfect. Amazing hot tub and 30minutes into Cardiff. The road leading the property was a little bumpy and the party bus went hired had fun getting to the house!! Other than that it was idyllic thank you so much for having us

The accommodation was perfect and it was home from home for us. Our granddaughters loved the toys, and the grandsons loved the garden. We loved the farmhouse vibe and we all enjoyed being able to eat together around the kitchen table. The views were stunning. The cake and bubbly were a nice touch. We would highly recommend and sure we will return.

Absolutely beautiful location and accommodation. We had a fantastic time and would love to come stay again in future

Felicity

Fabulously well equipped and beautiful holiday home. The spacious farm, was fantastic for our family gathering, with lots to cater for ages from 8 months to 70 years. A truly fantastic place to stay! All communication with Babs was excellent and very clear, including directions. Thank you, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

Veronica

A warm and comfortable house in a beautiful location. A great base for exploring the Cardiff area and the surrounding hills. Thank you for a super week.

Claire

We had a wonderful stay. Amazing amount of stuff for kids! Very impressed with the Christmas decorations.

Claire

We are a Charity based in Pontypridd, we support parentcarers of children with neurodiverse conditions. We took 10 parentcarers on a respite weekend so they had an opportunity to relax, and recover from their demanding caring role. We all had an amazing time at Ty Ffarm, what an incredible house. We loved the layout, the hot tub and the close proximity to where our parentcarers live so they could get home if they needed to. Babs and her husband were fantastic, Babs communication was second to none, and her husband light the fires before our arrival as it was very cold, he also took in our Tesco delivery that arrived an hour and half too early! We will be back early next year, a little gem. Thank you Babs and hubby for welcoming us. One negative was the communication through Sykes Cottages, we had real trouble getting in touch with them.

Our second time staying at the farm and we loved it as much this time as last time. The house is so beautiful and really well equipped. We love the log burning fires which makes the house feel even more cozy and luxurious and the hot tub is amazing, especially at night under the stars. The hosts are really lovely and the extra little personal touches are extremely thoughtful cake and bubbly is always a winner! 1010 yet again.

This is the second time we have stayed as a group of friends at Ty Ffarm as we absolutely love it! It feels like a second home as soon as we arrive, its cozy, super clean and in a beautiful location! Babs is fantastic at providing all the information you need before your arrival and we arrived to cake and Prosecco Would recommend this house to anyone looking for a remote getaway, we will definitely be back!

Kayleigh

We have never stayed somewhere so well equipped. There are so many books, toys and games which my children loved playing with, especially in the garden. The views surrounding the house are amazing and we all enjoyed going for local walks. The house is spacious and very comfortable. The owners are attentive and check in to ensure you have everything you need, adding lovely touches like bubbly and cake when you arrive. We would highly recommend Ty Farm and would go back in the future.

Excellent... Attention to detail beautiful. Everything and more provided. A little remote but not a problem ....would highly recommend

Heather

Just back from a fabulous weekend at ty ffarm. The house is even better than the photos. Very spacious, clean and beautifully decorated with lots of personal touches. Babs is so helpful, answered many questions prior to arrival and when we arrived. The cake and prosecco were a lovely touch. The perfect host. We would recommended and would love to return.

This charming cottage offered the perfect escape from the city. Nestled in a peaceful rural setting, it was just a 30minute drive to Cardiff's bustling center. While we only used the hot tub once, it was a delightful treat after a day of exploring local castles. The cottage itself was exceptionally wellequipped and impeccably clean, providing all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Babs, the owner, was warm, friendly, and readily available to answer any questions we had before and during our visit. The delicious welcome cakes were a lovely touch thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

A fantastic farmhouse. Beautiful quiet location. Stunning views. Spacious and well equipped. Outdoor space fantastic especially the hot tub. Perfect for family get together. Superb communication from owner. Would love to visit again and would thoroughly recommend.

Richard

Booked for some of our men working in the area, they loved the house and wanted me to keep re booking, they have stayed a handful of times and would stay again. Babs who owns the property is lovely she is very hands on and on the other end of the phone if you need anything.

Rachel

Weve stayed at Ty Ffarm for the last 3 years to enjoy New Year celebrations as a familyit quickly became the childrens favourite time over the festive period. Cant recommend this cosy farmhouse enough, its spotless and has everything you could possibly need. The hosts are also super accommodating, helpful and lovely. We are sad that we are unable to return for a 4th year, the only reason being that we have outgrown the spacewith 18 of us booking for 2024. I hope to be back again at some point though! X

1010! The house was just beautiful, well equipped, spotlessly clean and the views were incredible! 10 of us stayed for a weekend and even though we all live and work locally it felt like we were a million miles away from home. The hot tub was a lovely bonus and bubbly and cake waiting on arrival was such a lovely touch. We will definitely return.

What can I say but just perfect! The house is so beautiful and had everything we wanted and more! It was immaculate throughout and so well equipped. The views were breathtaking. The owner has thought of everything and the house just oozes love. We were a group of 8 ladies and we all agreed that this was the best holiday rental we had ever stayed in.Babs the owner was so accommodating and just the perfect hostess. The cake and Prosecco was such a lovely touch when we arrived. Babs, thank you so much, we cant wait to return.x

We thoroughly enjoyed our family weekend and couldnt have wished for a more perfect place to stay. Warm, welcoming, super comfortable, amazingly well equipped and incredible communication with Babs and team. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to South Wales! Thank you for the memories x

Perfect accommodation for a big family get together. Lots of space and a kitchen which had enough crockery and cooking equipment to cater for any occasion. Rooms were clean and comfortable with nice linen and towels provided. Communication with the owner was very good too. We would definitely return.

Overall a great property for an Airbnb stay with all your friends. Amazing views, spacious hot tub, and comfy bedswhat more could you want from your stay?

Selton Sajjan

The place is maintained so well. Really appreciate the manner you have incorporated modern contemporary interior in a 16th century old house taking utmost care to maintain the living room as it is. What a blissful vintage feeling! Your place has absolutely everything one would require to live without any hustle to carry extra stuff from home. Perfect home away from home. The view from the hilltop is so scenic. Enjoyed the sunrise as well as sight of blood moon. Our colleagues had great time in the hot tub. Thank you for everything!

We two families and grandma had a brilliant week which started off with a treat of wine and cake! The kitchen is particularly well equipped I often bring bits from my own but didn't need anything! We were lucky with the weather so didn't use the extensive variety of games on offer but again there was no need to bring your own. The hot tub was used everyday sometimes twice with everyone enjoying the views. What a shame our ladies didn't win the World Cup plenty of room for us all to watch the final together in the TVgames lounge.

Christina

We had a lovely week in this beautifully presented, very well equipped house. We loved the outside space, the view, the bbq and the hot tub. There were 9 of us including 6 children but we had plenty of space and never felt on top of each other. We enjoyed playing the games provided on a rainy day. It had everything we needed and more, would love to return.
