Wonderful place to stay for exploring South Wales.
Lovely accommodations. The Stable was the perfect size for my family. We loved visiting with Phil and seeing the animals in the mornings before we headed out for the day. Great, convenient location. Personal touches. A perfect spot for our stay. We will be back!

We have been running the Barn B&B at Tyn Cellar Farm successfully since 2015 amd the cottages since 2017 . After a lot of hard work we converted the old farm buildings into holiday cottages, we managed to retain as much of the original and Victorian character as possible. We like our guests to have a lasting, memorable and comfortable experience staying with us.
Phil is one of the local Tourism Ambassadors and has a knowledge of the history of the surrounding area.
All guests and their children are welcome to be interactive with the farm livestock under supervision.
