About the home

The house is a spacious castle-like property built in 1880 and extended extensively over the years to include the characteristic turrets built by the previous owners. The property has been fully updated and decorated tastefully by the present owners in a modern style with throwbacks to the Victorian era including working original fireplaces.

For Dr Who fans the house featured in the Dr Who Christmas special 2010.

The perfect base for a wedding celebration or just a family fun holiday, the house benefits from 2 acres of gardens with newly laid tennis courts, a heated swimming pool and even its own fully stocked pub. The sights, sounds and smells of beautifully untouched countryside are all around. For the active vacationer, there are miles of forestry
walks, and a golf course just 10 minutes walk away. Local restaurants and pubs are 5 mins by car or taxi. Cardiff is 15 mins away with more restaurants and it's lively nightlife.

The South Wales / Cardiff/Newport/Glamorgan region

There's always something new to do in Cardiff, and it's just ten minutes drive from the house to the centre of town. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a life-long resident. Europe's youngest capital city has so much to offer, from historic Cardiff castle and classical concerts, to vibrant street festivals and tranquil parks.

The Millennium Stadium is the home of the awesome welsh rugby team, and many annual events. With 20 restaurants, bars and cafes, Mermaid Quay and Capital Waterside are at the hub of the most expansive waterfront development in Europe. The Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay is home of the Welsh National Opera and frequented by major international voices such as Welsh baritone Bryn Terfel et al.

Cycle along the Taff Trail or find out more about Cardiff's history by following the Cardiff Centenary Walk. Venture out into the countryside on your doorstep, or visit the tiny island of Flat Holm, a wildlife haven just five miles from the city. Whatever your interests, you're sure to find something to enjoy in Cardiff.

“Fabulous Place. Fabulous People” I held my wedding Reception at Wrinstone House and I can honestly say it was the best experience of my life. The owners, Vicky and Matt could not do enough for us and we are so grateful to them. All the guests commented on the beautiful house and gardens. It is truly a fabulous place and the decor is fabulous. Perfect for every occassion!

“40th Birthday treat - but not such a treat” First the positives - nice location, nice house The Negatives - felt like we gatecrashed someones house, owners kept popping back to collect items (I think were may have been first of the rental seanon but when you pay this much for a break you dont expect it) Next, no pool or BBQ as advertised - the bbq was the main problem and we werre not notified until the day of arrival which caused mad panic trying to find portable bbqs to take with us. The house had not been cleaned prior to our arrival and we requested they return to clean the property, even soiled nappies in bathroon bin. Next I suspect (but have no evidence) the owners had webcams around as we had friends coming and going for 40th party, day and evening and they challenged us on people at the property who were infact staying at nearby hotel. Finally owners tried to hang on to my substantial breakages deposit without justification for these "extra guests" - which enraged me given the price already paid - This really took the shine off a really special occasion Would never stay here again or recommend it to anyone - plenty of other rental options around without the hassle Response: I came to the property once to show the guests around and ensure the heating and hot water were timed correctly for the guests comfort. The house is always immaculately clean for the arrival of all guests (see other comments). The outside pool was closed as it was March, the pool is not opened or heated until May, as clearly stated. The BBQ is a large stone charcoal type built into a garden wall directly outside the kitchen, next to a 6 seater table and chairs. The guests appeared to have missed this. The guests had invited other guests to their BBQ, which is fine, and they had stayed over. The house is for 10 guests only, we do not allow additional wear and tear of people sleeping on settees and in other makeshift areas, as we like to keep the property exclusive for the correct number. All spare bedclothes being used (rather than webcams) is how we can tell how many people stayed on this occasion. I would not recommend these guests to other holiday letters nor would I allow them to come back, although I don't suspect they plan to.
