Horrible place never stay there !!

It was close to where we needed to visit

It was dirty, damp Mouldy , had flaky paint everywhere , leaking showers , Toilet seat loose , broken windows unable to shut properly , cigarette butts in the outside areas , smelt of stale cigarettes, cheap uncomfortable mattresses, no mattress protection, no pillow protection. Outside areas untidy scruffy , broken tiles Horrible place , the pictures on the website are not accurate, the reviews and the grade of 8.1 is a joke .

Riddled with damp

The property was in a good location for where we needed to be everything in a short driving distance

We stayed at Silver Birch in Merthyr Tydfil from 19–22 June and, unfortunately, this was the worst accommodation we have ever experienced. The property was in a very poor state of repair. There was severe condensation on every window, extensive black mould in several areas, and numerous signs of damp throughout the property. It also appeared that some damp patches had simply been painted over rather than properly repaired. The kitchen floor was uneven and seemed to have lifted due to moisture damage, while the bathroom also showed clear signs of damp. The outside space was equally disappointing. The garden was heavily overgrown and clearly hadn't been maintained for some time, making it unusable during our stay. The dampness was so severe that both my partner and I experienced breathing difficulties while staying there. While we cannot say for certain what caused this, we were concerned enough to feel the condition of the property may have contributed. We considered leaving early but were in South Wales due to a family bereavement, not for a holiday, and we were unable to find alternative dog-friendly accommodation at such short notice. Had we been travelling for leisure, we would have left immediately. I have provided photographs to Booking.com showing the condition of the property. In my opinion, the accommodation falls well below an acceptable standard, and I believe potential guests—especially those travelling with young children, babies, or anyone with respiratory conditions—should be aware of its condition before booking. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this property based on our experience.

It was clean and affordable

The hearing is on a timer so you have to keep getting up to turn on, and the beds were smaller than a double so me and my partner struggled sleeping together

5 / 10·Dec 2025

This property is well situated and furnished to a high standard. The beds were supremely comfortable

Unfortunately this property was riddled with mould and damp in every single room. We felt very uncomfortable staying here with our four month old baby. The bathroom lacked a hair dryer and the floor of the bathroom become dangerously slippery when wet - not fit for any young children or disabled people.
