Your hosts
The two of us run the Old Post Office, with Mabli the spaniel supervising. We live in the flat at the back, so someone is always here.
The rooms, the bookings and the breakfast
Ffion grew up on a farm above Myddfai, cooked in restaurants in Cardiff and Bristol for fifteen years, and came home to open the Old Post Office in 2016. She takes the bookings, does the rooms and cooks every breakfast, and she buys the eggs from her cousin and the bacon from the butcher she has known since school.
The drying room, the bikes and the routes
Dafydd was a mountain rescue volunteer on the Black Mountain for twenty years and still rides most mornings. He looks after the drying room, the bike store and the building, writes the route folder, gives lifts to start points, and will talk about the weather on the hill for as long as you let him.
How we keep house
Cleaned and checked by Ffion herself, heating on before you arrive, a tray with Welsh cakes, and the window open if you would rather.
From half past seven on weekdays, eight at the weekend, and an early tray at six for a long day on the hill if you ask the night before.
Cancel up to seven days before for nothing. Inside seven days we charge the first night only if we cannot re-let the room.
Where to walk in the weather you have, where to eat tonight, which lane is closed: Dafydd has walked and ridden all of it.
The rooms page shows every room's rate and whether it is free on the night you choose, with the two-night weekend rule worked out. Then book with the form or ring Ffion on 01550 496 0920; nothing is charged until you leave.
