James’ Place @ Dowlais Information

Description

James' Place@Dowlais offers 7 individually and creatively styled self-catering studios. They are ideally placed for exploring the Brecon Becons, climbing Pen-Y-Fan or visiting Bike Park Wales amongst many of the other great activities in the area or for working away from home. They are only a 5mins drive from the town centre and there is a bus stop right outside which can take you to the main train and bus station. Each studio has a separate but en-suite Kitchenette with all the essentials plus en-suite Shower-Room. We also provide a few surprising luxuries with complimentary toiletries, a pint of milk and freshly baked home-made welsh cakes to welcome you to Wales. Dogs are allowed on request and there is a small charge per dog per stay. There is also the facility to store bikes. They can be locked in the main hallway if you bring your own padlock and chain. Alternatively we are happy for you to store your bikes in your studio providing they are clean.

At James' Places we like to offer you individually styled accommodation that is unique and a bit quirky. The property is located within the town of Merthyr Tydfil so is in a town setting but within a minutes drive of The Brecon Beacons, Pen Y Fan, Bike Park Wales, The Four Water Falls and Zip World. This gives you the benefit of being next door to the countryside but all close to the shops, restaurants and pubs. Enjoying your stay is our main priority so we send out a list of suggested things to do and our favourite places to eat to help you make the most of your time with us with the confidence that these activities and places to eat have our seal of approval. We love our dogs so we are delighted to welcome them to. We are a family run business and have been operating since 2016 and have 4 houses and 14 studios at different locations around Merthyr Tydfil. We have a loyal team who have been with us since the beginning and their priority is also to make you happy.

Directions

A car is recommended when staying at the property
  • Road from A4060 (0.3 miles)
    Important:
    Always use Google maps as the best method of finding us as there are 3 other High Streets in the nearby area. Don’t use the postcode in Sat Nav/ GPS as it will take you to the wrong High street!
    Simply enter “James’ place at Dowlais” into google maps and it will bring you to us every time.
    A third of a mile away from us at the A4060 and A465 Heads of the Valley Rd at the Asda and Texaco fuel station roundabout, please take the Red exit marked “Dowlais”. Go downhill past the “Tredegar Arms” Hotel. Go through the next small crossroads and continue downhill approx. 200m until you see us next to the “Antelope Hotel” on your left, opposite “Qmin” restaurant. We are the wood fronted building with the vintage bicycle above the door and 'JP' our Lime green sheep in the windows!
    On arrival, you may be able to park right outside on the High Street or in the large free car park behind the Antelope Hotel.
