The cottage features an inviting open-plan layout that includes a modern kitchen, a dining area, and a cozy sitting room complete with a wood-burning stove.

Set within the owner’s expansive four-acre grounds, Nos Da is surrounded by delightful gardens that guests are encouraged to explore. The cottage is located in the tranquil hamlet of Llanilid, which lies on the periphery of Rhondda Cynon Taf and borders the Vale of Glamorgan and Bridgend. This area is rich in historical significance, featuring landmarks such as an 11th-century Norman motte and bailey castle mound, a functioning Norman church that serves the local community, and remnants of a Roman military camp known as Gadlys. The scenic backdrop of ancient woodlands and picturesque leafy lanes makes it an excellent destination for walkers and cyclists.
For those seeking additional accommodations, the property also offers The Cwtch, a cozy retreat for two guests, which can be booked alongside Nos Da.
