About this property

Cosy Barn In lovely quiet location In The Brecon Beacons

Beiliglas Barn is a refurbished two bedroom converted barn in a quiet part of the Beacons National Park. Sleeps four. It is comfortable and light, with many character features including flag floors, white stone walls, oak beams and vaulted ceiling. Underfloor heating and wood stove ensure it is cosy in winter.

The barn is in a rural setting 100m from a minor road. It is across the yard from the owner's house, but is quite separate and private. There is a secluded garden in the rear. A public access path from the door leads across farmland directly to Myddfai Mountain and the ranges of the Brecon Beacons beyond. The historic village of Myddfai is a 15 minute walk on quiet roads or across fields (or 3 minute drive). The nearby town of Llandovery is 3 miles away with a supermarket (open till 8 PM) and a few specialty shops and services. Ideal for couples, and families wanting to mix a lovely rural location with visits to local attractions. The cottage has been graded 4 stars by 'Visit Wales'. See note on dogs below. Cottage is no-smoking. There is a key box - so guests free to arrive as suits.

Guests have said that they appreciate flexibility with booking, as I am able to offer two and three night breaks and longer.


DOGS:
Dogs are welcome in the cottage. There are stone floors in the main rooms.
Please note, the cottage is next to fields with sheep, and there is a large unfenced pond on site. The garden is not enclosed, so dogs need to be on a lead. As is common with holiday lets, pets are not to go on beds or sofas, or be left alone in the cottage. Please also bring bags to clean up dog mess.
There are a few woodland walks nearby where dogs can go off their leads.

About the host

Hosted by Janice Lewis

Host profile image
We purchased the property in 2010 and refurbished the cottage to combine modern convenience while retaining the property's character. We live in a farmhouse on the property, but have designed the cottage to give privacy and a quiet experience for the guests. The cottage is restricted by the planning authority for holiday letting only, with a maximum 31 day rental.

We are happy to offer advice about the area. We are keen walkers, and have prepared a series of walks from the cottage. Let me know if you are interested in anything in particular, and I will see if I can point you in the right direction.

We have stayed in many holiday cottages over the years and hope we have put our list of 'likes' and 'dislikes' to good use: comfortable beds, nice linen, sharp knives, hot showers, warm when the weather turns cold, and flexibility with booking dates.

The local community hall in Myddfai Village is popular for weddings, as well as other celebrations and events. Lesley and the team do a great job getting the word out about what a great venue it is, and many guests stay in the cottage. Do mention when booking if you are with a wedding for a special luxury bath gift from Myddfai Trading Co - a local social enterprise giving work opportunities to adults with learning difficulties.

You are welcome to make a general enquiry for more information, and to find out from me the best way to proceed with a booking.

Why they chose this property

We love this part of Wales, which combines beautiful countryside, clear skies, peace and tranquility. While you feel far from crowds, it is easy to get to, being a short drive from the A40 and nearby Llandovery. It is also well placed to visit the Welsh coast, castles, the Brecon and Cambrian mountains, Hay-on-Wye, the Gardens of Carmarthenshire, and many other attractions.
It is a farming community where both Welsh and English are heard. Welsh learners are made welcome too.
The area has a fascinating history in the 'Physicians of Myddfai' and the legend of the 'Lady of the Lake'. The local village hall has lots of information about the area, and friendly volunteers in the cafe/craft shop.
For those that want a bit of city life, Swansea is 1 & Cardiff 1.25 hours. Cinema in Carmarthen.

What makes this property unique

If you enjoy walking or cycling, you have some fantastic countryside on your doorstep.
The cottage is close to the village. The Myddfai Village hall/cafe is open 6 days a week (5 in winter) to pop in for tea or lunch. It is ideal accommodation for those attending weddings, receptions or parties in the village. There is a lovely craft shop which features unique local crafts for all budgets.
The property has underfloor heating, so is comfortable in winter and will be warm on arrival. Guests can programme heat themselves.
The wood burning stove in the main room makes it extra cosy. Welsh wool quilts are provided in the bedrooms.
The cottage is all on one level, with parking at the door if you like. There are no steps once inside the cottage. There is a private shaded garden with a picnic table and bistro chairs.
