Depot Rd Self Catering Accommodation

Depot Rd is a fantastic, cool and contemporary holiday home at Cwmavon, on the edge of Afan Forest Park in South Wales. A cleverly converted former Methodist church, it sleeps up to twelve and welcomes dogs — an ideal, characterful base for large families, groups of friends and mountain bikers wanting a memorable get-together in one of Wales’s best outdoor playgrounds.

A converted church for big groups

This is a genuinely distinctive place to stay, blending the character and soaring space of a converted church with sharp, modern design. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner is the sociable heart of the house, complete with a wood burner, a smart 4K TV with soundbar, and table tennis and table football to keep everyone entertained. There is even a purpose-built lockable bike store for up to twelve bikes — a real bonus in this mountain-biking heartland.

Sleeping and space

Three bedrooms each have zip-and-link beds that can be made up as super-kings or twins, plus fold-away bunks, so each room flexes to suit different groups and the house sleeps up to twelve. Each bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, with a separate WC too. Outside there is an enclosed inner courtyard and a rear garden with a barbecue and fire pit, plus off-road parking for four cars.
