The cottage was clean and well looked after, and had everything we needed. The booklet the owner provided was very helpful and contained info about how things in the cottage worked as well as info and numbers of local doctors, vets, nearest supermarkets etc, as well as local places to eat. The log burner was amazing and kept the cottage lovely and warm during the evening. The stairs to the bedroom took some mastering when we arrived but we got used to them after a few goes. All in all we had an amazing break in beautiful surroundings and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Y Garreg Fawr.
