    Aberdare seems a pleasant enough Welsh town with a good number of pubs and eateries and good access to surrounding towns, countryside and Cardiff. Our stay was largely about visiting family and so we did not make intensive use of the available entertainment.

    National Trust Big Pit and getting to go down disused coal...

    National Trust Big Pit and getting to go down disused coal mine - staff were fabulous, really interesting for all ages and worth a visit. Free Tower Zip World - hubby and son had a fab 1-1.5 hours on zip line - Approx £50 each. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bike Park Wales - £47.00 each without equipment hire they do full hire package too - well worth the visit, staff were friendly. Exhausting but fulfilling day spent going down mountain - you learn how unfit you are though as it is physically challenging. Barry Island - Home of Gavin and Stacey - paid parking but sea front is clean and well served - we went in April so rides etc only open at weekends but beach is clean and sandy. G/F fish and chips from Boofy’s on the sea front - fab ouuu lusss. Dunraven Pub - Treherbert - fab food and fab service. Catered for my Coeliac hubby which was a true bonus. Four Waterfalls Walk - amazing views and worth a visit but requires a decent amount of fitness, walk is 7.8 Kms and is tough going at times on uneven surfaces, gravel rocks, tree roots and slippy surfaces - dogs allowed but our Scottish terrier was k******ed by the time we got back, her legs were stumpier than usual. Parking around £5.00

    I was born in Aberdare and it was good to visit after many years. As with many valleys towns it looks sad compared to what it used to but still has many things to attract visitors including an excellent market. It is an ideal position for the Dare Valley Country Park as well as the Brecon Beacons. The town park - just north of the town centre - is a brilliant place where motorcycle racing occurs annually. If you stay there, try to do the Waterfalls Walk around Ystradfellte and Penderyn.

    Very easy walk into town, which is well serviced by a broad range of local shops along with a nearby Tesco superstore with petrol station. Needed an optician (forgot to pack spare contact lenses( and a choice of three within 5 mins walk.

    Abedare is ideally suited for exploring.

    Abedare is ideally suited for exploring. The local walks are wonderful but also close to everywhere else you might like to explore. Town has everything you might need whilst you are away. Supermarkets, pubs, shops etc.

    Dare Park nearby has good walks and Lakes , also nice cafe and food, drive up into the hills for great views and also more walks, try Welsh Rarebit on Lava bread, Abedare has lots of take away food shops, however a lot dont take card, there are cash machines nearby, watch out for speed cameras and also 20MPH restricted zones, Asda food store nearby, before you book hotel , call the reception and make sure it has good wifi signal in the room,

    Perfect accommodation for what we needed as we stopped late at night and were off early in the morning, a little hotel-like facility on the back of a pub. Situated in a residential area, it was a peaceful night's sleep. We missed the food sadly and were gone before breakfast so we can't comment on that, but they did make us some sandwiches to take with us which was lovely. Couldn't have been nicer people running the place

    Had a wonderful time. Breakfast was incredible. The hosts were lovely, helpful and very accommodating. We went to do the penderyn distillery tour which is a short taxi ride away. B and B itself in the centre of Aberdare where we spent two enjoyable evenings, wonderful Italian amd Indian meals and nice selection of pubs with friendly locals. Will be back again.
