We had an excellent fortnight at Yr Efail and the owners called to see us on day one to ensure that we had settled in and that there was nothing that we needed or that had caused us difficulty. They even came during our stay to let us have a fan, due to the excessive hot temperatures that occurred during our second week. The cottage had all the comforts that we needed.

We found that the cottage was very comfortable, had all the necessary equipment for a great time in the cottage. An excellent shower over the bath, the appliances were top quality. Megan and Elwyn made great effort to make you feel welcome and comfortable.
