Great location. Beautiful cottage. Exceptional host.
No mats in the toilet, was a bit confused if we should use the towels instead.

Does Ty'r Afon - River Cottage have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Ty'r Afon - River Cottage have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Ty'r Afon - River Cottage?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
