“The whole process of booking this break was a joy.”

Sykes do things properly; I was kept informed, the technology all worked and the whole booking experience was easy. The Byre's is a lovely cottage and the rural setting is great. We booked because we needed a base for our booking at the Walnut Tree Inn. Our expectations were exceeded as the Byre is so spacious, welcoming, cosy and well-equipped that we'd come back again to have a proper holiday in the area. A delightful experience all round; thank you!

Property the best ever.
Mrs Berry June 2017

“This was the best holiday we've had.”

We go to a self catering cottage each year and this has been the best one. The surroundings are beautiful and a brilliant base to explore The Black Mountains. We have already booked for September.
Mrs Worts April 2017

“The Byre was probably the best holiday cottage we have stayed in, in terms of quality, comfort and equipment.”

“EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR”
A FlipKey verified reviewer January 2014

“A warm and comfortable cottage in a farm setting.”

An October holiday in the Brecon Beacons requires somewhere warm to return to at the end of the day. This property is ideal. It is well furnished, spacious and has free wi-fi. The location is very rural; car ownership is essential. Steps leading to the front door from the parking area would make access difficult for disabled visitors.

“Met all expectations - very good”

We had a friendly welcome to a terrific and well equipped cottage. The welcoming cake was a nice touch. It was a good base for seeing the sites and doing a bit of walking for a few days. The representations on the website were accurate. One of the better cottages we have stayed at in the UK on our travels.

“a quiet romantic luxury cottage on a quiet farm!”

Excellent cottage , very well stocked for 2 people. Very comfy and warm! Would be more tricky for 2 couples as bathroom,, loo an en suite to main bedroom. family very welcoming. Even the peacock displayed his tail fan for us twice in the week.

“Fantastic Christmas Getaway !”

Can not recommend this property highly enough - Great quality of fixtures and fittings and the best equipped kitchen, a couple of amateur cooks could ever wish for. Being set on the farm with Skirrd Mountain in the background made a great base for walking and exploring the best the Brecons have to offer.
Chris and Gail December 2011

“What a lovely week!”

We had a very friendly welcome to a beautifully designed and thoroughly equipped cottage (at a very reasonable price too!), and it proved to be a great base for a week in this gorgeous part of Wales. We enjoyed trips out to nearby abergavenny, Blaenavon, through Golden Valley and on to Talgarth, Hay-on-Wye and Brecon ... but also loved relaxed evenings tucked up in the cottage. As an extra bonus the tiny village has an unpretentious Michelin-starred restaurant, The Walnut Tree, which serves extremely tasty, locally-sourced food. Any downsides? None for us but don't expect a local shop, and watch out for the peacocks! Only hesitation in our recommendation is that we don't want to make this so popular that we can't re-book!

“A warm welcome to a lovely cottage”

Our unseasonably warm and sunny week in the Black Mountains was more than equalled by the warm and generous welcome we received at this newly opened property. The cottage itself is well furnished and equipped, and well located for days out by car along the Heads of the Valleys, Black Mountains, and the borderlands along the Wye Valley. The walk up Skirrid Fawr is easily achieved directly from the cottage. There are a couple of very nice restaurants within a short drive from the cottage; but we found we had to go a bit further to find a pub. All this at a very reasonable price - highly recommended!

The property

This superb, semi-detached cottage, lovingly created from a barn conversion on the owners' working livestock farm in the small hamlet of Llanddewi Skirrid, oozes quality and charm.

From the moment you walk into the open plan living space with its vaulted ceiling showing off the original beams, the stone walls and the lovely tiled flooring, you will feel relaxed and ready to enjoy your holiday.

The spacious double bedroom is down a lovely short flight of wooden stairs and has a delightful en-suite bathroom.

The opportunities for walking and cycling from the doorstep of this cottage are endless, along countryside lanes or on the local Skirrid Mountain, the most easterly of the mountains within the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Enjoy the animals on the farm and the array of wild birds including red kites flying overhead.

Spend a day in Abergavenny or Hay-on-Wye, or discover the region's abbeys, castles, museums and ever-changing scenery.

A wonderful cottage for that perfect escape to the country, all year round.
