Loved the farmhouse and barn & having them both for our large family group was perfect. Rooms felt cosy & comfortable yet big enough for us all to eat/play/chill together.

As a multigenerational large family group we absolutely loved our stay at Llwynin Farm. The size of the accommodation and varied bedrooms and living spaces was perfect. The location and immediate surroundings were perfect. Lots of things to do in the area . We would recommend it for large family groups. Idyllic.

Great venue for large family gatherings. We stayed at Llynwin farmhouse to celebrate mums 90th birthday and had four generations of family with us. Lots of fun and laughter and memories made. The games room was a godsend for the children as the weather wasnt the best.

Charming, rustic cottage surrounded by lush countryside. Many bedrooms and interesting layout kept the kids occupied for hours, and a nicely sized dining room with two tables gave enough space for all 19 of us to eat at the same time. If you like walks and wildlife (and you're not put off by a spot of rain) then this is a great place.

The location put this in the top category for those who love the Welsh...or any ..hills. Its direct access on the open moorland is very special. For large family parties such as ours, it provides space for the individuals to do their own thing without being on top of one another.
