• Our standard staying period is one week, which runs from Saturday to the following Saturday. Consequently, our change-over day is Saturday. We would appreciate it if guests would try to arrive at or soon after 16:00, and leave on the departure day by 10 a.m. Please call us as far in advance as possible if you're going to be early or late. If you'd like to stay for less than or more than a week, or you'd like to arrive or depart on any other day other than Saturday, then please contact us and we'll be happy to arrange a suitable holiday period for you.
• Prices are for one to four people and one cot, staying for one week, which runs from Saturday to Saturday.
• One high chair in solid pine is provided, which also folds into a small table and chair for an infant.

• For bookings made more than six weeks before the arrival date, a non-refundable payment comprising 35% of the total price is due in order to secure the booking. The remaining 65% of the total price is then due at least six weeks before arrival.

• Y Cartws is a converted cart house. The work was completed at the beginning of 2007.
• The approach to the cottage is directly from the road on to a gravelled, private car park. Vehicles may be driven right up to the concrete ramp which leads directly to the kitchen entrance.
• The ground floor is level throughout.
• All doors, entrances and corridors are wide enough for wheelchairs, walking frames, and pushchairs. The doors are 1840mm wide.
• There is conspicuous colour contrast to floors, walls and doorways.
• The kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms are all on the ground floor.
• One bathroom has a bath, hand-held shower, washbasin, lavatory and heated towel rail; the other is a shower room with a cubicle shower, washbasin, lavatory and heated towel rail.
• One bedroom is the master bedroom with a superking bed and wall mounted television with a remote control. The shower room is ensuite to the master bedroom.
• The other bedroom is a twin bedded one, with a television and remote control. The bathroom is adjacent to this bedroom.
• The kitchen is large with enough space for a wheelchair to go around the dining table. At one end of the kitchen is a large reclining sofa plus a CD player and radio.
• The gallery sitting room leads up from the kitchen and is the old hayloft. Access to this is via the stairs only, hence the need for the comfortable seating area down in the kitchen. A stair lift is a possible future solution.
• Mobile phone reception is patchy inside the cottage but much better outside. The owner's home is nearby in case of an emergency.
• Telephone numbers are displayed in the information corner near the entrance.
