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 🏡

“Would love to visit again”
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.

“A excellent place to stay and a great host.”
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!

“a thoroughly nice fun weekend”
everything was just great. we had an amazing cooked breakfast that filled us up for the day. we were just a short walk from the train and bus stations so we were able to get around easily. it was a lovely relaxed house and Jo and Paul were very friendly and helpful. the bed was the most comfortable bed you can imagine so we had a great night's sleep every night and the large walk-in shower was perfect.

“Great Place to Stay”
Number 30 was perfect for our four waterfall trip—just 20 minutes away, and 20 minutes from Zip World Tower! Couldn't have picked a better place. Jo and Paul were amazing hosts; nothing was too much trouble, from letting us check in early to lending us a rucksack since we forgot ours. Jo's little shop downstairs has awesome stuff—check it out! It's in a great spot in town, near bars and restaurants. Highly recommend it! Thanks, Jo, for the perfectly cooked eggs!

“Excellent hosts, beautiful rooms, amazing food.”
The rooms are decorated exceptionally well and to a high standard. Beds were extremely comfortable, it was a great location to base ourselves for the Brecon Beacons waterfall walk. Jo and Paul were excellent hosts - nothing was too much to ask! We really enjoyed chatting to Jo during our breakfasts each morning.

“Great stay in Aberdare.”
Jo was very welcoming and helpful. I loved the decor and atmosphere . The breakfast was superb and bed comfortable. I slept very well. The location is very central and quite near the railway station. Jo also runs a interesting shop underneath the bed and breakfast. She has an intriguing selection of stock. Quite quirky and lovely for presents. I really enjoyed my stay. Excellent!!

“Amazing stay. These people know how to do b&b”
Jo and Paul have got it right. From the lovely friendly welcome we got when we arrived to the beautiful spacious room along with an amazing tea and coffee making tray. The Cadbury’s hot chocolate cups were a lovely addition. They gave us recommendations for dinner. Went to Amore an Italian restaurant which was amazing. And then the breakfast. Jo said we wouldn’t leave hungry and we certainly didn’t. What a cooked breakfast it was. Thank you once again for a lovely stay in Aberdare. X
