Studio had everything we needed for our short holiday in Wales. Great location, clean and with very comfy bed. Bedroom was spacious and with an amazing views. Hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely come back 😊

Lovely studio with great views

The room was well decorated clean and well presented as shown in the photos. We received good communication with the provider who also recommended lots of local restaurants and provided tips on climbing Pen Y Fan. Based on the recommendations we had a well planned trip and enjoyed meals at the tea room and local restaurant as suggested. Pricing was fair and this was close enough to easily access Pen Y Fan although there wasn’t too much too do in Merthyr itself.

Well decorated quiet room

Good central location and is a great base to go and explore the Brecon Beacons. Clean, comfortable and very friendly. 
You do have to walk up some steep steps to get to the room but it’s lovely when you arrive and great facilities too.

The Rafters

Just returned from a lovely weekend in the studio James’ Place. I cannot fault the accommodation, the interior has been designed with an “industrial” type feel, lots of lovely features. From the funky foot shaped loo roll holder, the green sheep in the window and my personal favourite the rainbow dog statue! Note look for the “James was ere” statement somewhere in the studio! I was very surprised on check in morning to receive a call from the owner asking if there was anything else he could do make our trip special. I had made a mention in an email of our trip being for my husbands birthday, imagine my husbands delight that upon arrival to find a card and a lovely bottle of red was waiting for him! I cannot leave a review without a mention to the fresh Welsh cakes made by James’s mum, they are the best I’ve ever tasted! All in all highly recommend, fab attention to detail and we would definitely visit again! Loved it ! Thanks for a wonderful stay, we will be back!!

PERFECT! Such a great property

We stayed in the Taffy room at James Place, High St, Dowlais to attend a friends wedding.  The room was gorgeous really clean and fresh and very modern.  We had a very comfortable & peaceful night with everything there that we needed.  The welsh cakes provided were lush. Would certainly recommend the property.

Peaceful comfy stay

My sister in law and I recently visited and stayed at James place for a weekend. The room was beautifully presented, very clean and we had a super king size bed which was very comfortable. 
We also had the kitchen and bathroom to ourselves and found everything that we needed was available. 
We really enjoyed or stay and found that our hosts went beyond and above what we would expect by providing welsh cakes and home made honey!
Location was perfect and the views from our room were beautiful. 
We will definitely be back for a second stay in the future. Would highly recommend. 

Would highly recommend 

We stayed at the Rafters studio which was so lovely, had parking and was a great central location to get to the Brecon Beacons National Park. Whilst visiting, we completed a 20km waterfall walk, visited the Brecon Mountain Railway and took on the 4 peak challenge with Corn Du, Pen Y Fan, Cribyn and Fan Y Big.

It is self-catering though the kitchen is on the smaller size with only two electric hobs; i would recommend eating dinner out given the limited space :-) We'd also have benefitted from a little more storage for clothing, but that is only a minor thing.

James is a kind and understanding host and overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend anyone wishing to visit the area to stay at James' Places!

Great option for short breaks!

We stayed for 4 nights in the rafters suite, it was lovely and with the added bonus of your own kitchenette area. The location is great and was central for all things we had planned, maybe a 15min walk to the town centre but is at the top of a hill so be mindful for the walk back. Some lovely restaurants in the area (recommend the mine at cf47).

The hosts were great and provided us with loads of hints and tips prior to our stay which really helped.

The only downfall for me was the bed was too small (we originally booked Pen Y Ty studio which has a larger bed but the hosts moved us as the kitchen/bathroom is separated by a small corridor) at 7 months pregnant the bigger bed would have been better for us at the time of visiting, also there was no blind on the skylight in the kitchen area and no door so as soon as the sun was up so was I.

Overall fab stay and would stay again ☺️

4 night stay

I booked in here for 2 nights with work, and met James on arrival, who was effervescent and really helpful, it's close to the town centre and a short (but very steep) walk from the station.  Good parking, and a great entrance hall lead to a great victorian house, tasyefully decorayed, with a nicely appointed room.  One note, this is board only, but close enough to cafes to get a decent breakfast. Being only 6 miles straight drive to the  Brecon Beacons and Pen Y Fan i think this is a great and inexpensive house to base your trip into the amazing countryside from. 

Lovely house, great host

The apartment is in the lovely house with free parking, very welcoming owner.

When I booked this place for our weekend getaway it was stated that this is a studio apartment however when we got there the lovely owner said that there is a room in our apartment that belongs to them and that they store their stuff in it. 
Which we understand up to the point. It is not very professional to come into the apartment and use the room when the guests are inside. After it happened it felt like we were not renting a studio but a room in the house with the neighbours. Which spoilt our opinion about this place and the whole experience.

There is a nice big bed in the room, the only problem with it was that the sheet was coming off the mattress for the whole time because it was too small for the mattress.
There was mold on the wall in one place, it wasnt very pleasing to see it in the apartment. 
The door in the shower was not closing. 
In our opinion the apartment needs a bit of freshing up.
The kitchen definitely needs some paper towels and hot water because it is impossible to wash dishes in cold water. We assumed that for that reason the plates and cups in the apartment were stained and greasy.

Thank you.
