A.The county has two Tourist Information Centres which are open all year round. These centres provide information on accommodation in the local and surrounding area.

Q When I am looking for accommodation, why are only some properties in the area listed and not all of them?
A. As there is no statutory registration scheme for accommodation at present, we have to ensure that the accommodation that we pass on to you reaches a minimum standard with regard to quality and service. To do this we follow the criteria set down by Visit Wales which states that all accommodation we pass on to the customer should be either have been graded or applied to be graded by Visit Wales, The AA or the RAC.
