A footpath runs next to the house, giving access to the surrounding countryside. The origin of the gorgeous Tan Y Castell Welsh cakes is to be found right in the kitchen of main house itself.
Tan Y Castell Cottage has been delightfully restored to its former glory and has been lovingly furnished to a high standard to offer the perfect family holiday or couple’s romantic retreat.

This is a hard one . The kitchen was everything you could wish and needed. The massive issue is the stair's. Not because those spiral because was so narrow. No way on earth you could safely get your luggage upstairs. No mention of this in description of property. Only toilet upstairs so it was a dread when you needed to go. Not suitable for people of a certain age .And be prepared to empty your luggage downstairs and take up bit by bit . Such a shame really . Really hard to find not well signposted
