Set close to the famed Celtic Trail cycle route, and a mere 30-minute drive away from the nearest beach, The Ynys Arms is perfectly-placed for large Swansea-bound group breaks that demand a little something special.
Expertly converted from a free public house in 2022, the very best amenities and accessories have remained fully intact, while eight cosy and elegant bedrooms sleep up to 26 guests in total. With children welcome and well-behaved pets allowed, nobody has to stay behind at home!
You’ll certainly be spoilt for choice of spaces – both in and out of doors – to relax, unwind, and reconnect with your favourite people.
Set in a huge private garden that overlooks lush green fields, there’s a gloriously rustic feel to the private pub, with its welcoming stained-glass doors harking back to gentler days gone by.
The bar area is open and sociable, with plush furnishings and plenty of chilled space to store drinks of just about every description. Perhaps indulge in a game of pool or darts while you’re waiting for your designated bartender to serve the next round, or catch up with the match results with help from the Sky Sports-equipped TV.
Don’t worry if the kids want to watch their favourite shows at the same time, since they’ll have their very own beanbag-furnished TV area… which also comes complete with a PlayStation to keep them entertained for hours!
Whip up gastro-pub-style feasts in the enormous catering-style kitchen, or if it’s a sunny evening, out on the barbecue – where you’ll also find plenty of bench-style seating to relax with your meal, washed down with a chilled glass of wine. There’s a fenced kids’ play area outside, too, in full view of both the barbecue area and the covered patio.
