Useful information
Bramble Cottage
Bramble Cottage occupies the east wing of this delightfully converted 16th Welsh Long House and was originally the 'beast house', with animals living on the ground floor and the farmer above. All 3 cottages feature exposed oak beams and beautifully crafted windows and doors. The open plan living area at Bramble Cottage has extra wide doors out on to the patio to allow wheelchair access. There is a downstairs bathroom and ramps are provided to reach the second, twin bedroom. There is also a spacious master bedroom.
