The cottage is cosy, well equipped and full of character. John and Mererid are fabulous hosts and the generous welcome treats were a very pleasant surprise. Mid week John also delivered fresh scones still warm from the oven, absolutely delicious! We've already booked to stay again next year and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ty Uchaf as a great base to explore this beautiful part of Wales.
