OUR ROOMS
offer you the relaxed comforts of a quality hotel, but with an essential family friendliness. We’re not a hotel, but a restaurant-with-rooms… thirteen delightful rooms, looking out over the hills. And Bryan cooks your breakfast!

And of course Welsh spring lamb from the fields around Tyddyn Llan. We plan to continue with our special offer of a tasting menu of the finest ingredients possible, with an overnight stay in one of our comfortable rooms and breakfast, plus tea with bara brith and shortbread on arrival.
We are offering this deal of a six-course tasting menu with continental breakfast from £240 per couple staying in a standard room, £280 in a large room or £320 for one of our best rooms. See our opening days.
This is on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. But note, this deal is NOT generally available on Saturdays.
Stay a second night for £240 per couple and choose two courses from our main menu, regardless which room you are staying in.
