Y Garreg Lwyd is surrounded by a large garden, extensively planted with trees, shrubs and flowers. Most of the rooms enjoy direct access to the garden and have views of the rolling countryside that surrounds the property. The garden has ramps for easy access and there are railed terraces on three sides of the property. There are benches and chairs from which one can enjoy the views and perhaps the warm sunshine during the summer.
