From the owner

Capel Cartref is a spacious five bedroom, dog friendly accommodation, often described by guests as 'home from home'. The chapel is a perfect space for families and groups with it's speedy WIFI and great amenities. Come and relax in the gallery that hosts a relaxing space with its vaulted ceiling and original beams. Notice the pews that have been reclaimed and used around the chapel as window sills, kitchen cornices and window shutters. The chapel has been finished to a very high specification with all of the comforts of home. Breakfast and dining can be held in the spacious modern kitchen or on the decked veranda which overlooks River Twrch. Capel Cartref suits walkers, cyclists, and people who just love to take in the view, or just kick back and take in a movie on the 42" plasma using our Amazon Firestick. This is the perfect accommodation for family reunions... a spacious property to spend time together without getting under each others feet. We have board games, various books and jigsaws for the cosy evenings. The property is within easy reach (via bicycle or car) of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), Black Mountains, Afan Park and Henrhyd Waterfalls. Also South Wales is host to the beaches of The Gower, Mumbles and Swansea Bay, these are accessible by car. The Crown Pub has opened approximately 500 yards from the chapel, which means eating out closely is an easy option.
