Neighbourhood information

Swallow Cottage at Duffryn Mawr is located down a country lane offering countryside peace and quiet. However, we are also ideally situated to go out and about visiting the sites. The quaint market town of Cowbridge with its array of shops and eateries is just a 15 minute drive or head over to the cosmopolitan city of Cardiff and Cardiff Bay. Museums and castles are in abundance around South Wales as well as other historical sites. For the active guests we have plenty of challenging or not so challenging golf courses in the area or you could pony trek on Ogmore Beach. Paint balling is available just the other side of Cowbridge or just relax and enjoy woodland walks around Pyscodlin Lake or long lazy walks along the Glamorgan Heritage Coast.
