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.
