The Old Cider Mill is nestled in the owner’s land opposite one of the oldest houses in Wales, orginally built for Henry IV as a hunting lodge. This barn itself dates back to 1402 and was built to produce cider for the hunting lodge when Owain Glyndwr, the only native Welshman to hold the title ’Prince of Wales’, was at war with Henry IV. Indeed, the property is thought to have been built specifically for him and there are many original features that have been retained.
The barn comprises of a large open plan kitchen/dining room with fitted appliances and a Rayburn oven. This then leads to a large living area with an electric fire. Upstairs is a double bedroom and a marble en-suite bathroom with a free standing bath.
There are some great views to be had from the patio area of the barn and some lovely wildlife ponds to look over. There is a wild rabbit that comes to visit and eat some of the plants by the barn. Some great walks are to be had directly from the property and lots of open space for your pets to run around, though please keep them on a lead when walking through livestock fields. Shop, pub and restaurant 2½ miles.

Friendly welcome the owners couldn’t do enough for us.
Friendly welcome the owners couldn’t do enough for us. Problem with water pump which the owners addressed promptly. No 50” Tv which was specified in amenities and bath ran very slow. Bed is only really suitable for smaller people. Overall a lovely location and a pleasant stay.

The cottage was delightfully quirky with every thing you could need.
The cottage was delightfully quirky with every thing you could need.
Comfy seats and bed, big Windows that filled it full of light
John & Annie were charming and nothing was to much trouble.
Do not let going through gates put you off, the track is solid stone and worth it as you arrive to a lovely little cottage with gorgeous views with no light pollution so you can star watch from the garden.
If you want peace and quiet in a cosy environment this is the place.
With Hay on Wye,Brecon and the Elan valley just a short drive away
