Thatched Cottage Hotel is the perfect place for anyone looking to improve their English.
This was my second time volunteering here, this shows how incredible I think the place is.
Thanks to Huw and Roxanne for the great work they have done on the place.
The train station is less than 5 minutes walking from the hotel. The village is beautiful and welcoming.

My experience was really wonderfull, great option for people who want to improve their english, the school in the village has free english classes in january and september. Manager Huw is a very human person who does his best to help with everyone's needs, the international dinner night was very important to me, something I really enjoyed and sharing tips with volunteers. The only uncomfortable case was the delay for the shower repair, other than that it was great my time here. Thank you very much, more info on: insta:@Mthay.na

Solo estuve un mes allí pero me sentí bien recibida y aprendí las cosas básicas de un hotel. Aunque el edificio es un poco antiguo es lo suficientemente cómodo para estar. Todo el personal era muy agradable y sobre todo paciente. El trabajo era muy sencillo y poco exigente. El pueblo era muy bonito y estaba bien conectado a otras ciudades. Me voy con una muy buena experiencia.
