The family and I stay here at least 3 times a year. We have three kids aged between 9 and 2, and they absolutely love the farm. Kay feels like family and the kids love feeding the animals and going out on the tractor. The cottages are well equipped and cozy.

Had an amazing experience at Cwmiar Farm. Kay was so accommodating and was very proactive in creating an experience for us and our daughter. We fed and interacted with animals and really enjoyed the well equipped games barn, the play areas and the mountain which you can walk onto from the farm.
Added to this, the shops are a few minutes by car and you can walk to the Belle Vue for a bit of fine dining. In all, our week away was a great experience and incredible value. I would highly recommend Cwmiar Farm for anyone looking for an awesome family experience.

Kay was, as ever, a welcoming host. The Old Water Mill was a perfect place for our 3 families with all ensuite bedrooms. The farm is a great place to stay. The kids and adults enjoyed feeding the animals and we saw the calves which hadn't been born when we visited last year. The play barn is great. We have already booked again for next year! Would definitely recommend this for anyone and everyone as long as it's not then booked up for when we want to go!
