Cottage very suitable for us 4 aged men seeking a bit of walking and a couple of pubs. Particularly enjoyed the sun trap of a garden with the added bonus of a magnificent view.

Ty Gorof has a calm and peaceful atmosphere. At the back of the house the view is very special with the wooded valley and the sound of a near by stream. The house, the garden and the view feels very natural. The size and layout of the house is very functional for a self catering family holiday. There is a little passing traffic on the road in frontRead more of the house which increases at the weekend. Hide
