Families

As Hilary wants to encourage families to stay at Talbontdrain she is always keen to work out ways to make this possible, beds can be squeezed into any room, we have tents that you can use for children, and some have even slept in the barn. There isn't a set price for children and it depends where they sleep and what they eat, but that is always discussed when you book, and it is always very reasonable. Please click here for full information on the rooms at Talbontdrain.
Children can eat early for very little, or can eat with their parents and other guests and pay adult’s prices, or less if they eat less. There are cots, a highchair and baby carrier for your use. Hilary will babysit in the evening if you want to go out, and with enough notice can organise childcare during the day if you want a long walk.

It is important to point out to those who like their holidays without children that you should not feel excluded. Most guests in term time are of the adult variety, and indeed, you are Talbontdrain’s bread and butter, it's just that Hilary likes to encourage families to come here in the school holidays.

Dogs

Because this is sheep country, dogs are not encouraged, as it is important to keep on good terms with the neighbours. No dogs are allowed in April during lambing. If you can guarantee that you will keep your dog on a lead and that it will sleep in the car, then please ring and discuss. If in doubt please ring, Hilary is not completely inflexible on all this.

Walkers

The house is geared up for walkers. There are easily followed walk maps for hikes from the house, plenty of O.S. maps to borrow.  There are drying facilities and waterproofs to borrow. Hilary can even meet you at the end of a walk if you don't want to do a circular walk. She will provide packed lunches if you need it and there is always a welcome cup of tea when you return. Sometimes the dog will come too if you want the company.
