Y Bwthyn is perfect if you are looking for a break in a beautiful but slightly secluded setting. The grounds are second to none, with acres and acres to explore. Our 4 year old absolutely loved it, although we had to make sure he didn't venture out too far on his own as it might have been easy for him to get slightly lost or fall into a pond. The orchard is particularly enchanting, and we were really impressed by the variety of holly and hydrangea species on display at the property. The cottage itself was very well presented, if a little dated, and even though some items had been removed due to Covid 19, it felt very comfortable. We felt it was clean enough but certain areas, such as cupboard shelves, bedside tables and behind/below larger items of furniture, could have been cleaned more in depth. Beds were comfortable enough and the kitchen offered most essentials for self-catering, although the frying pan had seen better days and we couldn't find a chopping board. Some items could have done with being repaired or replaced. For instance, the oven didn't work, a door handle was missing a screw and a socket was broken upstairs. We might have occasionally heard rodents either in the roof or behind the skirting boards in the double bedroom, but that is to be expected in such a rural property and didn't really bother us. There was no mobile reception at the property, but we were able to access the WiFi just outside the side entrance. The area has a lot to offer, with Newport's sandy beach only minutes away and wonderful walks through the local woods. It is an area which is fascinating to explore with regards to nature, geology and history. We would definitely consider staying at Y Bwthyn again.
