About this property

Log Cabin on a Welsh hill farm in the Brecon Beacons

A beautifully constructed two bedroomed log cabin that offers the lovely sense of outdoor living with indoor creature comforts! Just north of the Brecon Beacons national park and nestling in the folds of the hills. Guests can enjoy an excellent view either out on the spacious elevated decking accessed by double french windows from the lounge, or from within the fully insulated and centrally heated cabin.

The Cabin is made up of a open plan kitchen and lounge with double doors opening out onto a spacious decking. There is a double bedroom and a second bedroom with a full sized bunk bed. There is also a shower room. The Cabin is fully centrally heated from the farm's biomass heating system.

The cottage sits in the main farm complex above the black barn and the horse riding arena. You have your own access and come and go as you please. You can bring your car to the front door of the Cabin if necessary.

Hugh is the farm owner, lives in the main farm house opposite the cottage and works on the farm during the day so he is available most of the time and is happy for you to knock on the door if you have any queries or need some help.

Please note that access to the farm is along unsurfaced track and crosses a culvert. This is usually not a problem however, immediately after exceptionally heavy rain the track can get washed away into deeper ruts and the the culvert can flow over the concrete crossing point. There have been occasions when I have had to ferry guests across in 4x4. Even when the water is not a problem, low slung cars can find it difficult to negotiate the track. With care a vehicle such as a VW Golf can manage to get in and out quite easily.

There is a laundry in the main barn that guests are welcome to use. The barn can also be used for drying and storage of bikes etc.

The farm is home to 5 horses, 5 chickens, 5 cows, 4 ducks, 1 cat and 2 dogs.

Lovely cabin in, what felt like the middle of nowhere, But right off the main road. Couldn’t hear the main road at all, only the bird and nature. Lovely cabin, lovely and warm, clean and tidy. We got there well after dark and I was trying to get up the last directions to the cabin when you get to the farm and luckily Hugh came out to show us the last leg. Hugh was fantastic the whole way with anything we needed him for and was really kind when we saw him. Lovely cabin and area. Not too far to drive anywhere popular for any hikes nearby or one right on the doorstep of the cabin. Would love to be back in the future.

Perfect for Brecon Beacon hikers
The three of us had a wonderful night in the cabin. It had everything we needed for us (and our dogs). It was comfortable, warm and clean and the location was delightful. The perfect and good value place to stay.
