The listing adds: "Dating back to between 1776 and 1778 and being Grade II listed, is the Tan-y-Pistyll's Tea Room, which was constructed as a sheltering cottage for the convenience of visitors to the falls. "At ground floor is a very attractive tea room which seats 32.
It has part boarded and part carpeted floor, beamed ceiling and exposed stone walls. There is a feature fireplace with solid fuel burner installed. There is a serving counter adjacent to the access to a fully equipped kitchen.

Meanwhile, Tan-Y-Pistyll's campsite offers four separate paddocks and a total of 25 'well-spaced-out' pitches - some with their own cast iron fire basket. Standing adjacent to the tea rooms is also a large workshop and an ablution block that is used by campers.
There is also a 'Showman's Caravan' that is let on a commercial basis and features its own summer house/barbecue area. Finally, a retreat field with a separate marquee and static caravan is used for functions and weddings. The listing says: "The business operated by our clients has been accounted for under two separate businesses.
We are advised the tea rooms and Airbnb lets show takings net of VAT of £90,000, just below the VAT threshold. "Over the last two summers our clients have not operated the camp site and the retreat field for commercial lettings due to their increasing age and wish to retire. However, these have previously been very active and profitable parts of the business.
