Gorgeous place, well away from bustle of everyday life, yet 10 minutes drive from whatever is needed.Comfy, cosy, fabulous bed, gorgeous shower - and oh the hot tub!!!!Favourite spot, early morning coffee in the conservatory, watching finches on the feeders.Lovely welcome hamper. Martin was an excellent host.Wish we'd arrived the day before to watch the Northern Lights - imagine that from a hot tub

We had the most magical stay at Tan y Castell. The house is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views and an incredible hot tub that made our stay extra special. Staying here with our young family felt so relaxing and memorable—everything was perfectly set up, and the facilities were outstanding. The welcome hamper was such a thoughtful touch, complete with prosecco, delicious Welsh cakes, and even milk waiting in the fridge, which made us feel instantly at home. We truly couldn’t have asked for more and can’t recommend this place highly enough. Huge thank you to Martin and his wife for such a wonderful stay untill the next time. 😊Richard & Christel
