Confusion of tracks The tracks in this part of the forest do not exactly correspond with those shown on the 1:25K map, although this one is shown.

Afon Rhondda Fach The river has come down from the Lluest-wen Reservoir, the dam of which can be seen just below the skyline. A road from the reservoir follows the north bank. In the foreground is Pont Lluest-wen, carrying footpaths but not vehicles across the river.

Near Twyn y Bloedd The map shows the forest as being all conifer. But in this part there are many broad-leaved trees.

Room was ok, after reading reviews about the breakfast, it was a bit disappointing with the bacon , tomatoes, sausage being precooked and very dry, There was not menu people for breakfast and could have been grilled fresh and waited a bit longer to be served.

Reception very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, but an extra chair in the room would be better, as it was a King room, not single.
