Tŷ Bryn

Southeast Wales


Perched on a hillside overlooking a gorgeous loop of the Wye in the village of Llandogo, this old stone house has friendly young owners and three comfortable en-suite rooms. Two of the rooms have river views, and there are a sitting room and a front-garden terrace for sociable relaxing.
