Y Fan Boutique Bed & Breakfast ( please call to book a time). We also have a dog friendly courtyard where we are happy to serve drinks and cake!

Now open for B&B ( every day) Afternoon teas from 1st April (Wednesday to Sunday - £21.00 per adult or £25.00 with a glass of Prosecco, £16 for a child under 14, (bookings from 12.30pm to last booking at 4.00pm), Pot of Tea/Coffee & Cake (Wednesday to Sunday - £6), welsh cheese board or welsh cheese and meat board £18.00 (from 5pm) and a small licenced bar. Y Fan (also known locally as Van Mansion) is a Grade II listed Tudor mansion house having undergone substantial restoration to a high standard since our purchase of the property in 2017. The new mega flow heating system ensures that all bathrooms have hot water on demand and good water pressure (one of our bug bears when staying elsewhere!) even when all showers are in use at the same time. The property has a sprinkler system installed in all rooms in case of fire. All bedrooms are good sized bedrooms with king sized beds (one has twin beds which can also be locked together to make a super king sized bed) and have an en-suite bathroom with a rainwater shower, underfloor heating, electric shaver/toothbrush point, heated towel rail and de-mist mirror. Two of the bedrooms currently open to guests also have a bath and our premium room has a 4 poster bed! All bedrooms have a hairdryer, a large wall mounted TV, free guest wifi and tea/coffee making facilities. Toiletries are provided in wall mounted dispensers. Please note that this is a no smoking property. We have sadly decided that we will not be pet friendly inside as we know too many people with allergies (and some who are scared of dogs!) but we do have a small courtyard at the back with a couple of tables where dogs are welcome! Set on the outskirts of Caerphilly, the property is situated on the edge of Gwern y Domen ancient meadowland offering beautiful walks and is also located only a 15 minute walk from Caerphilly train station with frequent trains to Cardiff (15 minutes), and also with easy access to the A470 and the M4. The Taff Trail is easily accessible and there is a mountain biking park only 5 minutes away. The property provides the perfect base from which to explore and enjoy the many delights of South Wales. The property has a licenced bar in the communal lounge where guest can enjoy a drink sitting by the log burner - a selection of board games and lots of books are also available for guests to enjoy. CCTV is in operation in the carpark and in both the dining room and salon/reception for security. There is an electric car charging point on the car park for guests use subject to an additional charge. Only guests booked in to stay at the property are permitted to access bedrooms.

Lovely to have 24 lovely ladies from Whitchurch Merched y Wawr for afternoon tea today. A very busy couple of days of baking cakes but most of it eaten (bar a few take home parcels!) and they seemed to be having a good time! Now for a sit down for 5 mins whilst the dishwasher is in full action!

Ooh a very full car park! A bit of trailer filming for Blackwood miners Institute. Black Rat Productions

Hot on the heels of Dai Cula: Prince of the Valleys, Black RAT Productions returns with a riotous new comedy where Jane Austen collides headfirst with modern South Wales.

Not entirely accurate but hey! We are still doing afternoon teas and the cheese and charcuterie platters and the B&B is very busy! A very international weekend this weekend with American, Swiss, German and Mexicans!

Ooh it’s made national press!

Adrian Cole, 68, and Christine Tallon, 62, from Bexley, south-east London, quit their city law jobs and snapped up the 500-year-old Y Fan mansion in Caerphilly, south Wales in 2016.

Thankfully we have come a long way from May 2018 when we had no floors or ceilings on one side!
