点评:I have stayed in Garth Newydd several times now. I cannot express how grateful I am to be able to stay somewhere which is so friendly and welcoming to practise using my Welsh especially as I don't live in Wales. The owner, Marcus, organises themed weekends from walking to crafts. This weekend he arranged Jack Pulman, a welsh tutor to go over pronunciation.. something I have always struggled with. Jack gave us lots of useful tips to improve our Welsh to enable us to speak more authentically. It's always so lovely meeting other Welsh learners. The atmosphere is very relaxed and I have always left with a smile on my face. Marcus always tries to arrange interaction with the locals too which is a bonus.
There are seven bedrooms. One has an en-suite, there is a toilet and separate shower downstairs and two toilets (one including a shower) upstairs. Like many people I would prefer an en-suite but I can honestly say that I have never had any problems with the shared facilities in Garth Newydd, they are always kept clean and Garth Newydd tends to attract only friendly, courteous people. In fact, the whole house is kept clean and tidy and has a homely feel.
I cannot recommend Garth Newydd enough to people who wish to practise their welsh. The first time I stayed I felt very nervous, like many other people, not knowing what to expect. I can assure you that what you will receive is a very warm welcome and lots of support so if you are feeling a bit nervous and shy and are not totally sure about going, my advice to you would be to go for it because I think that you will be very pleasantly surprised and are more than likely to keep coming back like me!!
翻译:我已经在 Garth Newydd 住过好几次了。能够住在如此友好热情的地方练习威尔士语,我的感激之情难以言表,尤其是我并不住在威尔士。主人 Marcus 组织各种主题周末活动,从散步到手工,应有尽有。这个周末,他安排了威尔士语老师 Jack Pulman 来辅导我的发音,而这正是我一直很头疼的问题。Jack 给了我们很多有用的建议来提高我们的威尔士语水平,让我们能够更地道地说话。与其他威尔士语学习者见面总是令人愉快。这里的氛围非常轻松,我离开时总是面带微笑。Marcus 总是试图安排与当地人的互动,这也是一个额外的好处。
这里有七间卧室。一间带独立浴室,楼下有卫生间和独立淋浴间,楼上有两个卫生间(其中一个带淋浴)。和很多人一样,我更喜欢带独立卫浴的房间,但说实话,Garth Newydd 的共用设施从未让我感到过任何问题。它们总是保持干净整洁,而且 Garth Newydd 往往只吸引友善、有礼貌的人。事实上,整栋房子都保持干净整洁,给人一种温馨的感觉。
我强烈推荐 Garth Newydd 给那些想练习威尔士语的人。第一次入住时,我和很多人一样,非常紧张,不知道会发生什么。我可以向你保证,你会受到非常热情的欢迎和大力支持。所以,如果你感到有点紧张和害羞,并且不确定是否要去,我建议你去试试,因为我相信你会感到非常惊喜,而且很可能会像我一样再次光临!
