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 burning 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 very 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 late every day except Sunday) 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. I offer two and three night breaks, as well as longer bookings (with discounts for 7 day and monthly stays) with any start date.

Returning guests will receive direct discount too.

DOGS:
Small/medium 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.

Lovely cottage

We had a really enjoyable stay at the cottage. Just what we needed for a relaxing few days in the Brecon Beacons. The cottage was cosy, well stocked, clean and comfortable. Janice was a great host and always available if we needed anything. Would 100% stay again.

Amazing stay!

My husband and I had an amazing stay. We were very impressed by the hospitality of the hosts and loved the barn itself. It is located in a quiet area and features a cozy fireplace, barbecue facilities, and a beautiful, rare garden. Everything was clean and well-maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely recommend it!

Idyllic hideaway with beautiful surroundings

Firstly thank you to Janice for being such an accommodating host. We had car problems when we arrived and she helped us out by taking us to the shops for food supplies. The barn itself was lovely - the photos do not do it justice! The accommodation was clean and Janice made sure we had everything we needed. Along with the beautiful scenery and walks from the doorstep this had everything we wanted. Thank you again Janice and we hope you’ll have us back to stay again.

A quiet retreat

A very well equipped facility. We tend to prepare meals on site and were lacking nothing. Comfortable bed and a good kitchen. Janice is a good host too. We will add this to our list of return places. Many thanks. Although you are away from the main towns this cottage is within 4.5 miles of an Indian and Chinese takeaway, if you feel the need. Might try Miz Spice ourselves next time.

Memorable stay in charming cottage

This converted farm building looked wonderful in the photos and we certainly were not disappointed. It was well equipped, had rustic charm and a large, colourful cottage garden. We were very lucky with the weather which meant we ate every meal outdoors. Janice was very hospitable and accommodating. The only way which we could think of which would make it even better is a trampoline for the kids!

Tranquility

From the moment we arrived until the day we had to leave, this charming little cottage is a true gem, perfect if you are after some peace and isolation. The owners really go out of their way to ensure that everything you could want is available, and if it isn't they have made it clear that they welcome any suggestions to improve, they are a most welcoming couple and really understand how to provide that "get away" experience you want: there if you need them, not there if you don't. The cottage is lovely and clean and is a perfect base for going exploring around the local area. Just be aware that it is surrounded by very narrow roads so have your wits about you when you're driving in case a vehicle is coming the other way - not often because it is so quiet but not completely unlikely. In any case there are passing places on the roads so take it easy and you'll be alright. Overall this was a lovely experience and we shall definitely be returning sometime to recharge our batteries again!

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.
