Breakfast was very typical. Needed to re-stock a few things and cereal selection could have been more extensive.
Evening dinner was excellent - very nice.
Staff went above and beyond as we needed an extension cord and there was not one on site so organised to get one for us and then took to room and set up.

Very convenient for town. Excellent food. Nice bathroom. .Quirky, wooden uneven floors.

A brilliant little place, perfect for a solo traveller with bicycle. Very comfy double bed in one cosy shepherd's hut, and then my own 'living room' hut just opposite. The shower/toilet block is shared with only two other single bed huts, so it never felt crowded. Very quiet & peaceful location, but only 10 mins walk into town for dinner. Really good breakfast included in the price - a very generous basket of continental style goodies, and then a cooked option if you wanted (which I did :-)). An outdoor seating space (just for me and my hut) was idyllic for sitting outside, if it had been warmer! Host Sarah sent clear instructions on my stay, and her son was very helpful when I arrived and dithered at the gate! Lovely friendly hosts. Would stay again, it's quirky, I loved it.

Stayed here whilst visiting Bike Park Wales
Only about 30 minutes from the venue to The bike park
The owners were super friendly and an absolute pleasure even though i accidentally set the fire alarm off with the steam that came from the shower because i left the door open to the bathroom
I was staying there with my son and they were very accommodating even though we didn't check in till about 9:00 o'clock at night
The rooms were clean and tidy the beds were very comfortable and we had tea and coffee facilities in the room
I'm looking to go back to bike park wales soon and I will be rebooking with the little crown inn again hopefully if they have availability
First visit to South Wales. Lots to do in the area and a short drive away. The Big Pit was great and we felt immersed in the history of the area. Amazing top quality restaurant in town called Butterflies. We visited the Brecon Beacons and did the beautiful 4 waterfalls walk.

A fascinating place if you are interested in industrial heritage. Make sure you visit the Iron Works. Book an underground tour at Big Pit. Travel on the steam railway. Walk around the former slag heaps – now a nature reserve.
Don’t miss out on a posh dinner at the Lion hotel. Stop off at the Whistle Inn for a tasty burger and lashings of chips.
Make time for the town centre Museum as well.
There’s 22KW EV charging in the town centre not far from the hotel.

Visited in February so village very quiet.
Visited in February so village very quiet. To be honest we spent little time there because there were walks we wanted to do and places we wanted to see outside the village. We used a pizza/kebab takeaway which delivered one evening, and the food was great. There are many historical things in the village and area but we did not really have time for all we wanted to do and look into these as well.

It is a heritage town with two two must see sites, the Big Pit and the Ironworks. They have been restored with really fascinating displays and experiences. At the Big Pit you actually go down 300feet to see what working down a mine was like. The ironworks is more of an historical site. Here I would recommend the sound and light show.
The town although needing restoration has some excellent eating places such as The Lion and The Butterfly Bar.

The town itself is a small ex-mining town, that offers plenty of history in terms of mining, iron and steel works.
It offers little in terms of shops, restaurants etc, but tourists mainly go their to visit the Big Pit. This is a really interesting Coal Mine and Museum and offers the chance to go 300 feet underground into the mine. Really impressed - so much more than expected and highly recommend it.
There is also a brewery next door, so you can stock up after your visit !!

Plenty of interesting things to see.
Plenty of interesting things to see. The Rhymney Brewery tour is good but note that it opens at 11.30 a.m. Fill up your time by visiting Big Pit just a little further down the road. This is the experience of a life-time.
The Ironworks doesn't open on a Wednesday if you fancy a visit there.
The heritage Centre is also well worth a visit.
