Glan Yr Afon / Riverside
The Riverside Hotel This family-run pub, known as the The Glan Yr Afon, is the closest pub/restaurant to the house. In fact, you can get there on foot from the house in less than an hour—a pleasant downhill stroll. The uphill walk back may take longer, of course, but perhaps you will be looking for a way to burn off the Welsh rarebit and ales you enjoyed at Glan Yr Afon?
