No 30 Aberdare

We recently stayed three nights at No. 30, Aberdare. It is a ten minute walk over level or mostly level ground from the train station and quite easy to find and the entrance is up a flight of steps. Our room on the second floor overlooked Whitcombe Street. Jo, the host, let us in, clearly described the area and local amenities, her establishment, breakfast (full English), then led us up to our room overlooking Whitcombe Street, described the amenities, then left us to settle in and get comfortable. The room was spacious; the bed was quite comfortable and the bathroom facilities more than adequate. We liked being able to open the window as it to let in some fresh air - something we do at home when not too hot or cold. Any noise from traffic or the pub across the street was not at all troublesome. Jo’s breakfast was a generous, delicious spread prepared while we were at table enjoying coffee and chatting, and sustained us until dinnertime. On our last morning, time pressed a bit with our train departing early on, yet we were treated to scrambled eggs on buttered toast and bacon which was quite enough to see us to dinner at the next stop on our journey. We had quite enjoyable conversations with Jo and Paul and they readily answered our questions about Aberdare, where to go, and what to do. A very good host.

Having to leave so soon.

Excellent hosts and a great room. Convenient location to access the beacon beacons and bike park Wales.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at this charming B&B as a group of four, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. The hosts are amazing people – incredibly welcoming, helpful, friendly, with a great sense of humor. The rooms were spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and felt so comfortable – a perfect retreat after a long day out. Breakfast each morning was a highlight: fresh and delicious. It honestly felt like staying at a friend’s home – warm, relaxed, and full of thoughtful touches. We couldn’t recommend this place more. A true home away from home 🏡

Amazing breakfast - best mushrooms ever! Served by an exceptional host. Totally enjoyed my stay and will definately return. Thank you both

The host Jo is amazing, very welcoming. Makes sure that you can ask for anything you need and asks for preferences at breakfast, which was an epic delicious full English. The location is perfect and it's close to really good restaurants (Amores) as well as Zip World. The rooms and common areas are a beautiful blend of vintage and modern done to a high spec which were extremely clean. There is also a lovely little gift shop downstairs run by the host with fantastic gift items.

Perhaps the bed could use a mattress topper as it was too firm for my preferences, but not uncomfortable.

The owner Jo a lovely friendly lady who made our stay so much better

There was nothing to not like

Lovely welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent breakfast. Outstanding.

Can't think of anything!

Our search for hotels in Aberdare led us to this charming B&B, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Despite getting lost on our way to the property (entirely our fault), Jo, our host, was incredibly understanding, even when we arrived four hours later than expected! The photos on Booking.com don't do No. 30 justice—the rooms are far more spacious and beautiful in person. Our bedroom was incredibly large, featuring an incredibly comfortable double bed (the best we've ever slept in away from home), a TV with logged-in streaming services like Netflix, and a lovely en-suite bathroom with a mix of modern fixtures and quaint, old-style touches. The dining room was both spacious and beautifully decorated, with antique accents adding warmth and character to the space. Breakfast at No. 30 was truly exceptional. Jo asked us our preferred food choices and breakfast time, and for both mornings of our stay, we enjoyed a freshly-cooked full English breakfast, complete with thick-sliced toast, real butter, and endless tea, coffee, and orange juice. We would undoubtedly stay at No. 30 again when we return to Aberdare. So give those hotels a miss and try and No. 30 - you won't regret it. A well-deserved ten out of ten!

There's nothing we disliked about our stay - it was 100%.

Host Jo, was fabulous.. So friendly and accommodating. Style and quirkiness of this beautifully decorated Guest House, made it such a memorable stay. Great breakfast,10/10
