The Laurels is situated in the village of Trecynon, where local amenities include a variety of small shops, post office and public houses. Aberdare Park and The Coliseum Theatre are only a short walk away from the house.

 The town centre of Aberdare is less than two miles away, with a greater choice of shops, cafes and the main library. Transport links are excellent, with a good, local bus service and trains to the capital city of Cardiff.
