Welsh bliss

“We have stayed at the cottages a few times now and words cannot describe how amazing the place is. It is Welsh bliss! Such a perfect set up for family groups or a romantic weekend away for two. The place is very relaxing and the beds are so comfortable! There are lovely nature walks to go on and a variety of small villages close by (which are so adorable). Karin and Gyles were so welcoming and are there if you need anything. We cannot wait to plan our next trip to Cwm Irfon Cottages.”

What people are saying

“Highly recommended”

“A very comfortable and well equipped cottage in a peaceful setting with helpful and friendly hosts. We especially enjoyed the forest setting and swimming in the chilly Irfon Wash Pool (wetsuit recommended!) and the knowledge that the owners had a committment to sustainability. Highly recommended.”
