General Overview
Welcome to our bright and spacious end-of-terrace home, designed with family, comfort and relaxation in mind. With three generously sized double-bedrooms (2 with king beds), a dedicated TV/playroom, and a separate adults’ lounge with a cosy log burner, there’s plenty of space for families, friends, or couples to unwind in their own way.
The kitchen offers casual stool seating for quick bites, or settle in around the dining table for a more leisurely meal together.
You’ll find a family bathroom downstairs with a combined bath and shower, plus a convenient WC upstairs—ideal for busy mornings.
Step outside to enjoy our low-maintenance garden, perfect for sipping coffee even after a classic bit of Welsh rain—no muddy shoes required! In summer, help yourself to a sweet treat from the strawberry plants, or pick fresh cucumbers, carrots, and tomatoes straight from the garden.
Despite the peaceful, homely feel, we’re just a short stroll from Caerphilly’s bustling high street, charming coffee shops, and local markets. The iconic Caerphilly Castle—Britain’s second-largest—is right on your doorstep, along with exciting events like The Big Cheese Festival.

Sara's home is in the lovely town of Caerphilly, famous for its castle! There are so many lovely walks, trails and mountain bike routes to do within a ten min drive. There was private parking making it easy to get in/out, and Sara's home is so cosy, we loved the fireplace! Thank you Sara so much for letting us stay!

Bore Da! Hi! We are a family of 3! Kyle, Sara and 3-year old Oscar.
Pre-Oscar, Kyle and I were very fortunate to travel off-the-beaten track, and stay with local-like minded families, and now we don't need to carry as much "kid stuff" (seriously!) we are ready to take Oscar on more adventures outside of a typical kids holiday!
Kyle (Welsh) works in film and television (behind the scenes!) and I (English.. just don't tell my in-laws) am a women's health physiotherapist. Oscar is a dinosaur and monster truck enthusiast.
We love being outdoors, in the mountains or on the dunes, hunting for T-rex. We haven't had the privilege of hosting yet - and our previous stays have always been turn up in a village and find a friendly, family-run host kind of adventure! But we're excited to get exploring!
