  • "We had an excellent day and a big thank you to all who worked behind the scenes to maintain this wonderful facility."

    Living in the city one seldom appreciates all the work that goes into our nations farms. Thanks for that insight. This place is also ideally situated to enjoy the towns of Brecon, Hay on Wye and Sennybridge. The walks in the general area are also fantastic.

  • "What a beautiful place."

    Stayed for 1 week and enjoyed every minute. Location a little of the beaten track but that's great. All you could hear was the sheep. And the views from the bedroom window was stunning. The owners were really friendly and accommodating. The bothy was missing cleaning equipment but I was provided with a mop and bucket. A vacuum would have been great just to tidy up a little.. but this place is a really beautiful peaceful tranquil part of the world. Keep up the good work and thank you very much.

    Thank you so much Tracey! It was lovely to meet you and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Property Owner

    Had an enjoyable peaceful break with plenty of walking and reading. Had everything we needed for a short break and the views were spectacular.

    Loved the location- straight onto footpaths. Comfy bedrooms and lounge. Kitchen is basic but perfectly adequate. Keep it rustic! We had a fabulous weekend. Thanks

  • "Everything was very nice but we thought it would be better if the small bedroom was used as a living room and the living room made into a box bedroom."

    We thought the kitchen layout was ingenious with everything we needed. The heating and hot water were excellent. We loved the little bench outside for our morning coffee and evening tea. Altogether a lovely stay. Thankyou

  • "We had a lovely stay in this cosy warm bothy."

    Perfect location for hiking in Brecon (car essential). The bothy is currently under renovation/ improvements as recently inherited but ideal for what we needed 2adults and 2children. The children loved the access to the tennis court. This was their highlight of the bothy.

  • "Really lovely weekend away very quiet."

    Good dog walks around the area and a big field behind the cottage. Would have preferred a small sofa than the tub chairs but it wasn’t a big deal. The dog towels was a very nice addition as Saturday was very wet and the towels we brought weren’t enough. Really liked the en-suites so there was some privacy. Thank you for a restful visit, hope to come back soon.

    Thank you so much! We are well prepared for the wales/wet dog combo!! And best news - a sofa is on its way ( it took a while to find one that would fit). Property Owner

  • "We loved our stay in this Bothy."

    It was so warm and well equipped. As our stay was only adults, filling the daytimes with outdoor activities. We would have preferred a comfy little sofa and a larger tv to relax in the sitting room. The table was pointless for adults as not enough room. The breakfast bar and stalls were a great addition to the kitchen. The cooking ring was so fast, loved it and the combination microwave was great, all really easy to clean. As we had dogs, a little fence just securing the tarmac yard with a gate would have been great to just let the dogs & us relax a bit more with back door open to enjoy the beautiful view. All that said we had a fantastic stay, thank you so much.

    Thank you so much for your helpful feedback and we’re so pleased you had a good stay! The eating and sitting arrangements are top of our list - and a dog/child proof gate outside is an excellent idea. We’re planning to replace the glass in the kitchen door to bring the spectacular view inside as soon as we can - which will help in keeping an eye on what’s going on outside too. Property Owner

  • "We feel the advert overlooks noticeable drawbacks to this accommodation."

    Anyone booking this needs to be aware that it would not be comfortable accommodation for 4 people due to limitations regarding the kitchen and sitting area. The kitchen is limited by not having an actual cooker, restricted work surfaces, no cupboards and minimal space. Likewise the sitting area is very small and not comfortable - there is no room for a small sofa and instead there are 2 tub chairs but there is not room for them to be placed next to each other. The TV is extremely small and the DVD part of the TV is broken. We feel the accommodation Is best suited to those who will be out most of the time.

    Thank you so much for your helpful feedback! I did try to send you a welcome message before arrival to let you know that we have only recently inherited this property and are making improvements to it as and when funds allow, as we are painfully aware that the kitchen and sitting areas could be better, which is reflected in the price. Please do let us have your ideas on how we go about this without spending anything! Property Owner

    It was perfect for what we wanted and we would happily return.

  • "This is a sweet little place to stay."

    I would like to know more about its history as a Shepherd's Bothy. The decor is quite modern and we thought rustic would be more in-keeping with the building. The kitchen is basic and functional; I can imagine coming in from lambing for a bowl of soup! The dining/ TV room is fine for two, but possibly tight for 4? Apart from the dvd player not working on the TV, we were cosy watching television. The beds were warm and comfortable. Perfect base for a walking holiday. Thank you :-)

    Thank you for your helpful feedback! We agree it's quirky and is exactly as we inherited it so we are working toward making it more comfortable and authentic! Please do come back and see how we are getting on! Property Owner

Enter through the traditional barn door, stooping as you step in, to find a neat kitchen/diner hosting all the essentials you could need for a week-long stay; prepare a tasty breakfast with the electric hob and microwave to be enjoyed at the breakfast bar or table, or choose to dine alfresco with some fresh produce from one of the local shops. Leaving the kitchen, you will find two steep sets of stairs; one leading up to a 4' double with an en-suite shower room and the other set leading to the second double bedroom, also with an en-suite shower room, each room offering a homely interior and tremendous views to wake up to. Also on the first floor is a small living/dining room where you can enjoy relaxing with your loved ones when you're not out exploring the excitement of the local area. There is also a lockable boot room, which is suitable for bike storage, with a clothes rail and recycling facilities Spend your mornings sitting out admiring your stunning surroundings, where, depending on the time of year, you may see cattle and sheep on the working farm.

Indulge in a game of tennis on the court directly outside Ty Hir or, take a stroll out to explore your surroundings up close, with a plethora of walking and cycling routes on your doorstep, including along the Usk Reservoir, the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal, to the Ystradfellte Waterfalls and hiking up Pen y Fan., Those seeking a more leisurely day out should be sure to explore the nearby market town of Brecon, where you will find all you could need for a self-catered stay, including welcoming pubs, shops, cafés, eateries and a regular livestock market.

The closest village, Sennybridge, also has pubs, a petrol station/shop and a regular stock market.

If you fancy yourself an amateur astronomer the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park has some of the highest quality dark skies in the whole of the UK, as it is one of only 18 designated International Dark Sky Reserves in the world.

The farm is a mile from its nearest neighbours in any direction, and so the skies are particularly spectacular!

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £125.
