“Soul Breaker!”

Well where shall I start! Ok if you would like to self isolate for a week, with no shops, pubs or any life within 5 miles, if you like an amazing country sides, forest, river, lake walks, if you like very dark nights with no signs of life except the farm animals, if you like to read a book by the cosy fire, and cook an amazing dinner, if you like the farm life which include 13 dogs, horses, sheep, goat, pigs, chickens etc..., if you like mud and get your car dirty, if you like the unpredictable ...

God what a fabulous week, we are feeling now SO relaxed. We will be back. The host is amazing and so helpful. Try to visit the Elan Valley amazing. Word of advice, plan your food ahead, and don't go shopping. No freezer, and fridge very small but use your imagination. Good oven, stove, microwave and kitchen equipment. £5 per basket of wood for the fire, but the central heating is very good. Low celling so mind your head. Highly recommended for a total relaxation and soul fixer. It is extremely difficult to find the property, and Sat Nav don't work there, the postcode takes you at least 3 minutes away from the actual property. Plus within How to get there description you mention a red telephone box, it isn't it is a small red post box. And another thing is that the host needs to be contacted 2 days ahead, to fix a time of arrival, which we didn't know.

“Fantastic fortnight.”

We were given a great friendly welcome. Great location for easy reach of a variety of days out even in Covid times. Beautiful area to explore. Cosy cottage, some evenings I lit the wood burning stove. Great holiday base, scenery lovely and wonderful if you like animals. I was genuinely sad to leave and say goodbye. Very relaxing holiday, slept very well. Bliss.

Mrs Southam September 2019

“We had a wonderful stay at Ty Gwyn.”

The cottage was perfect and the hosts could not have been friendlier. We loved having all the farm animals on our doorstep and the welcome from the owners dogs made this stay a memorable one. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend saying here if you are a dog lover and want a place to relax and unwind in the beautiful Welsh countryside.

Mrs Osullivan July 2019

“Lovely, well-equipped cottage which really felt like home.”

Really spacious bedroom, while the sitting room/kitchen area is cosy, yet functional. Fabulous area to explore - take in the Elan Valley with its dams and reservoirs - just stunning. We are planning a return visit!

Mr Stanford March 2019

“I had a wonderful time at Ty Gwyn and will look forward to returning to continue walking around Mid Wales.”

My daughter joined me for part of the time and she too enjoyed the break. Andre and Babs are kind and generous hosts and I enjoyed staying amongst their animals. As other guests have said the photos do not really convey the spaciousness of the accommodation. Thank you.

Mr Lillywhite July 2018

“Lovely property, very well thought out, everything you could need, kept in very good condition, owners are very nice & approachable.”

Excellent tv and wi-fi even a DVD player Only downside was the owners have 10 dogs, who in the main are very friendly, although one did take a dislike to our small dog, the main problem was they were able to jump over the wall into the cottages patio area, some also jumped up, although not always a problem, if you had clean clothes on, it was, the owners did try & keep them away

- Mr Lillywhite, July 2018
Mrs Mcclure July 2018

“Ty Gwyn is a lovely cottage .”

It has everything you need . The owners Babs and Andre are lovely . They made sure everything was ok showed us round the cottage . They went out their way to make sure we had a lovely stay . The animals were a great joy to have round about us . Our daughter overcame her fear of horses thanks to Babs. We would really recommend this for a holiday .

Mrs Pannell June 2018

“A fabulous place to stay, with the owners being the friendliest and most helpful of hosts you could imagine.”

If you like animals, particularly dogs, this is the place to be! A great location with glorious countryside in all directions.

- Mrs Pannell, June 2018
Mrs Bowen June 2018

“Ty Gwyn was perfect.”

Quirky, quiet and relaxing. Babs and Andre were perfect hosts. We were welcomed by Babs and the friendly dogs as we arrived. We were introduced to the piglets that had recently been born and an adorable lamb. To see all the wild birds especially red kit flying above the cottage was wonderful. There is so much to see and do in the area. We will definitely return.

- Mrs Bowen, June 2018
Mr Goodman May 2018

“What a brilliant little place!”

We could not have asked for a nicer place in such I quiet location. At night you cannot see any street lights and no sound, apart from the odd scuffle of either a horse or a sheep. The owners were great, the kids got to go round and help with the animals. Jams and eggs for sale onsite (by the way the jam was delicious). Good to have the wood burner to dry off wet boots. The most peaceful escape to date. Thank you

“Perfect”

Andre and Babs are perfect hosts. The cottage is easily an accessible home from home. Love the dogs and being able to bring ours to join them. The views are gorgeous and the peace and quiet is just what is needed. It is situated near amenities and there is easy access to places of interest. As returning visitors we believe it is the perfect place to stay!

Mrs Cuddeford March 2018

“Lovely cottage in perfect location with wonderful hosts.”

The area is vast for walking and cycling and envelops everything you could possibly imagine about Wales. We were fortunate to see both the snow and sunshine. The area's immense beauty spots make it a superb destination base to investigate the area further. The cottage is surrounded by a whole host of animals (and many dogs)

“Absolutely First Class - You'll not find better!”

We spent a glorious week staying at Ty Gwyn - an absolute gem of a country cottage! The lovely welcoming owners obviously work very hard indeed to ensure that their guests want for NOTHING during their stay. The cottage is beautifully appointed and luxuriously equipped, including a cosy inglenook logburner. It is sited on a fabulous little small-holding with amazing views and local walks; for those wishing to venture further afield, there are some very interesting places to visit such as Builth Wells, Hay-on-Wye and Llandindrod Wells whilst the excellent local facilities at Rhayader are within easy reach. The resident animals and pets, who receive the same excellent care as holiday guests, make the stay doubly interesting! We have rented countless country cottages all over UK but Ty Gwyn is by far the best and we would highly recommend that you contact the owners and make your booking now!

- AnnieandMichael, November 2016
Mrs Hart October 2016

“We have booked countless cottages, gites etc over the years but Ty Gwyn is by far the best we have ever stayed in!”

The lovely welcoming owners have worked extremely hard to ensure that their guests want for nothing during their stay. The cottage is quite charming, furnished to a very high standard and fitted with every conceivable extra. The surrounding area is delightful and affords plenty of opportunities for walking and taking in the views and local wildlife. It's also a good base for exploring the wider area. We would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to family and friends.

- Mrs Hart, October 2016
Miss Gulacsi September 2016

“Fantastic location, rural enough to relax & enjoy the scenery but within driving distance to towns & the coast.”

We had a wonderful break with the dogs, they enjoyed walking by the river, the forest & the Valley. The cottage is nice & cosy with all mod cons & a wood burner stove. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners who are a lovely couple, warm & friendly & so are their dogs. Will definitely go back. A 5* + holiday to recommend to friends & family.

- Miss Gulacsi, September 2016

It was the perfect spot for us!

The property

Nant Gwyn is a lovely, stone-built barn conversation, with lots of quaint and quirky charm, situated on the owners’ smallholding in a rural location, within driving distance of the pretty Powys village of Newbridge-on-Wye.

This lovely cottage is surrounded by rolling countryside, yet within driving distance of bustling market towns and rural villages, ideal for a couple or small family in need of an away-from-it-all retreat.

Upon arrival, you’re sure to receive a warm welcome from the variety of animals living on the land, including horses, pigs, sheep, turkeys, chickens, horses and dogs.

Once inside the property you can feel the stresses and pressures of modern life melt away as you step back in time into a world of low ceilings, stone walls and characterful low beams.

Downstairs there’s a rustic open plan living area with a kitchen and dining area, leading through into the sitting area with a warming woodburning stove.

There’s also a cosy double bedroom benefitting from an en-suite wet room.

Upstairs you’ll find a special little crog loft with twin beds and a sitting area, an ideal hideout for the children.

Outside, you can sit in the enclosed patio garden, with splendid views across the fields, to the rolling green hills beyond, the perfect place to enjoy a family barbecue and relax after a day adventuring.

The River Wye meanders through the valley, which opens up fantastic walking, fishing and canoeing opportunities, whilst the Cambrian Mountain uplands offer the chance to pony trek with loved ones, whilst marvelling at the majestic red kites as they soar through the sky.

There are also some fabulous towns and villages just a short drive away, including the splendid villages of Rhayader and Llandrindod Wells, a former Victorian Spa town, hugely popular with cyclists and offering pretty parks to relax in and an interesting Victorian festival.

For an excellent day out, pack a picnic, jump in the car and head for the Brecon Beacons National Park, a breathtaking natural space within which the children’s imaginations can run wild whilst you appreciate the stunning beauty of the rugged peaks and sloping valleys.

No matter what it is you decide to do on your holiday, this cosy, traditional and rustic cottage is ideal for couples looking for a romantic getaway or a small family in need of a holiday to remember.
