Patio

In the warmer seasons the patio is an ideal place to relax or eat al fresco while savouring the magnificent view. The patio is sheltered from the prevailing winds and many of our guests have found it a pleasant place to sit even at times of the year when the weather is cooler.

Crog Loft

The Crog Loft was a traditional Welsh method of providing accommodation for an expanding family. Extending a stone built cottage was very expensive so when extra sleeping quarters were needed, an open platform would be built in the eaves of the cottage with access via a ladder. The Crog Loft in Bwthyn Llys Twrog  is based on the traditional model, but the ladder has been replaced with a proper staircase. Like a traditional Crog Loft, there is no door, but a screen is provided for privacy if needed. Although the headroom above the beds is slightly restricted, there is still plenty of room for an adult to sit up in bed. Like the main bedroom, the bed linen is cotton rich and two part duvets are provided. The Crog Loft has a view from the beds towards Moel Tryfan and the village of Fron.

Main Bedroom

The main bedroom is two steps down from the other ground floor rooms. It has a five foot (1.5 metre) wide double bed with cotton rich bed linen. The duvet on the bed has 9 and 4.5 tog layers, which allows the warmth to be adjusted to suit the weather. A radio alarm clock and hair dryer are provided. We regret that we are unable to supply a cot. A electric window opener provides ventilation when required. Click on any picture to enlarge it.
