Limited availabilty

Due to travel restrictions abroad, Wales is very busy with tourists this year. If you are thinking of coming you will need to plan well ahead!

We have been busy during lockdown

Lockdown has offered a chance to catch up with some of the maintenance, which is hard to do when guests are coming and going. Room 1 has had a facelift, with some extra sockets, hiding radiator pipes under the floor, also extra insulation under the floor, and a sand, stain and seal. Jon has also…
