From 1st August 2026, Ty Mawr Country Hotel will operate differently

 

After much consideration, Ty Mawr Country Hotel & Restaurant will adapt to a self catered exclusive use country house with experiences along with a bed& breakfast basis.

Our home will be available as a self catered accommodation with the ability to bespoke your stay to suit your occasion. Whether a family celebration, corporate away days, friends get togethers we will provide as little service or as much as you would like to make your stay with us memorable.

As part of this change, our Restaurant, Bakery, Sunday Lunches, Cream Teas & all food led events will come to an end. We would like to sincerely thank all our customers, guests, local suppliers and trades who have supported us over the years.  Your support has meant  a great deal to us.

We look forward to welcoming guests to Ty Mawr, offering our accommodation, warm hospitality and the peaceful surroundings that make our corner of Wales so special.

We are pleased to assist with those staying on a self catered or bed& breakfast basis with booking many other eateries in the local area along with Taxi or transfers to & from. We hope to make your stay as seamless as possible.

Thank you again for all the joy you have brought to us and we hope you continue to visit.
