Felt that the cottage was a little tired… carpets and walls in some areas needed attention. Dirty in places under the rugs. Beds very comfy.

On balance we were very satisfied with stay at Ty Afon. It is in a lovely location across from the canal. Although on main thoroughfare is reasonably quiet. The pub opposite were very friendly, shame didn’t serve food on Sunday. We didn’t feel particularly welcome at the other pub. Kitchen in house could have been a bit better equipped. But everything else was mainly excellent.
