About this property
Award winning, secluded barn in Brecon Beacons. A sanctuary to relax.
Cae'r Beili is a 200 year old detached stone barn , located in a private, peaceful and totally secluded position. It has spectacular views of the Tywi Valley, the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Cambrian Mountains all around.
Cae'r Beili is perfect for family getaways or for relaxing with friends; for romantics who want to snuggle up in front of the log fire or be amazed by the stars in the dark skies; for adventurers who fancy exploring; and for seekers of peace who want to relax and recharge.
The atmosphere at Caer Beili is one of total comfort and relaxation and every care is taken to ensure our guests' stay is of the highest standard at all times.
The living room, a place to gather your thoughts and friends, is full of character and charm with high ,sloping ceilings, exposed roof trusses, oak beams a cosy wood burner and oak floors. Snuggle up on the leather sofas and exquisitely crafted Welsh woollen blankets. watch the large, flat screen TV, enjoy a DVD, try the stereo with a selection of CD's or take a pick from our large selection of books, maps and magazines. And there's free Wifi if you want to keep in touch with the world outside. A gallery landing, overlooking the loving room, provides an additional seating area.
The hand made oak kitchen, with its black granite worktops, is fully equipped. With a dish washer, washing machine, electric oven and ceramic hob, microwave, slow cooker, fridge, freezer and all crockery and cooking utensils, cooking will not be a chore at Cae'r Beili!
Dine in the conservatory. The large farmhouse table is a place for coming together. Watch the birds (over 30 species of birds spotted in the garden recently) and sheep in the fields nearby or the red kites soaring overhead. Enjoy a game of chess or dominos - take your pick from our large selection of games. Or simply relax and spend quality time together watching country life from the comfort of a chair - whatever the weather!
When it's time to put your head down, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms - one king size bed in downstairs bedroom with an adjacent bathroom; one king with an ensuite upstairs and a twin bedroom upstairs, all with quality furnishings. Linen and towels are provided and beds are made up prior to arrival. Wake every morning in your own little piece of heaven. Snooze a little, read a little, grab a coffee and read a bit more!
Electricity, oil central heating and naturally air-dried logs from our farm are provided and there are no hidden extras.
There is ample parking, a patio with garden furniture and a large, safe lawned area. Enjoy the peace and tranquility, the wonderful views and the fresh, clean air. There are walks from the door and, as night falls, you'll be astounded by the starry skies above. Amazing!
Situated in one of the most beautiful and unspoilt valleys in Wales - the Tywi, many of our guests tell us that they spend more time than they thought just relaxing in Cae’r Beili. However, for the more adventurous there is plenty to see and do and despite our rural and peaceful location we are very centrally placed, easy to reach and an ideal spot from which to explore Mid, South and West Wales.
The village of Cil-y-cwm, has a small friendly pub serving excellent food. The village street was once a drovers’ road and the cobbled watercourses which used to be filled with water for cattle to drink can still be seen today. The village church has fifteenth century wall murals and a yew tree which is at least 1, 500 years old. The Methodist Chapel, built in 1740, was one of the first Methodist Chapels in Wales.
The whole area, in the lower foothills of the Cambrian Mountains and on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, is outstanding for walkers, birdwatchers, photographers, artist and all country lovers. There are gentle strolls or more strenuous hikes from the cottage door including one to a magnificent waterfall. The area is a natural habitat for all kinds of wildlife and flora and it is common to see red kites, kestrels , sparrow hawks and many other birds. There are two RSPB Reserves - Dinas and Gwenffrwd. There are even red squirrels in the area!
Cycling, fishing, riding and golf can all be arranged locally. There are excellent facilities for mountain biking.
Other world renowned and award wining attractions in the area include:
• National Botanic Garden of Wales
• Aberglasney Garden
• Dolaucothi Gold Mines
. RSPB Dinas Reserve
• Dan yr Ogof Show Caves
• Dinefwr Castle
• Carreg Cennen Castle
