AA Four Star Gold Award Breakfast Award Diner Award The Firecat's traditional open beams and large log burners are perfect for relaxing in front of after enjoying one of our highly rated and great value for money evening meals cooked on our Aga. Each room is subtly decorated and furnished to best appreciate the 15C Welsh property offering great value for money. The property sits inside an acre of grounds, as well as having a further 5 acres a short 2 minute walk along the river, which are both gated and secure for your pooch to enjoy a lead free frolic in the Welsh countryside!
The area of Camlan is said to have been the place of King Arthur's last battle (The Battle of Camlan), with many articles and books available which list the various land marks. We are also in the Snowdonia National Park which makes for some spectacular views.
