    It was so secluded and peaceful. Bob and Orla were the perfect hosts. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of it. As Bob said, if we left hungry, it will have been our own fault😉

Our large Gazebo is a firm favourite with guests at all times of the year – comfortable ''throws'' and lighting are both available during the cooler time of the year. Cilbrwyn boasts an array of wildlife and rare birds at various times of the year, and all our guests are encouraged to enjoy these amenities -both indoors and outdoors, with the minimum of rules and regulations.
