Just the spot for active families or groups of friends looking to get sporty together, the site is also 10 minutes from the outdoor pursuits hub at Margam Country Park. The smart wooden lodges sit among trees and overlook the river. All are nicely fitted out inside; bedrooms are simply furnished and cosy open-plan living areas have kitchen corners (equipped with microwave, fridge, toaster and kettle), dining tables and comfy armchairs in front of Freeview TVs. Ensuite bathrooms all have walk-in showers. Outside, your private space includes a patio seating area with river views. Down by the waterside, there are communal firepits and alfresco seating for barbecue suppers on warmer evenings, and there’s also free private parking just a few steps away.

Local attractions

Afan Forest Park (half an hour’s drive) is well-known for its challenging mountain-biking routes and hill walking in lake, valley and forest landscapes. Graded ‘extreme’, Afan Bike Park (20 minutes) has bike trails best left to the experts, although there is a gentler skills area for less-experienced cycle riders close to Afan Visitor Centre (half an hour). Families will also find much to do at Margam Country Park (10 minutes), where you can set out on trails looking for the Margam deer herd and wildlife including hares and grey squirrels. Hire a pedal boat and explore the lake, try coarse fishing or take the treetop challenge at Go Ape Margam. If you fancy a break from all that activity, grab a beach towel and head off to sandy Aberavon Beach (15 minutes), where kids can have fun at Aberavon Aqua Splash and stroll along the seafront promenade to see the colourful Whale sculpture overlooking the sand. You could also combine a lazy day on expansive Skwer Beach with a ramble through the undulating sand dunes in Kenfig Nature Reserve (both 15 minutes).
