Brynhonddu Country House is a bed and breakfast, rather than a hotel or guest house. As a result, a 24-hour manned reception cannot be offered. What can be offered, by prior arrangement, are check-in times outside of the standard period (17:00 - 18:00). Alternate check-in times by request, please contact the house after booking.
