Ty Sinsir Reviews

Beverley
We were lucky enough to spend a big family Christmas at Ty Sinsir and cannot recommend it highly enough. Clair has thought of everything from a brilliantly equipped kitchen to quirky fun details in her interior design. Despite being old, the property was cosy with a great heating system and we always had hot water. We thoroughly enjoyed using the hot tub, fire pit and table tennis table outside. It's also ideally placed for exploring this part of Wales and great walking. Clair was very helpful and attentive aided by Vicky, who lives nearby, who came out straight away when we had a minor hiccup with one of the radiators in the Cwtch. Thank you both and hope to be back again!
