About this property
Cosy Barn In lovely quiet corner of Bannau Brychieniog (Brecon Beacons)
Beiliglas Barn is a refurbished two bedroom converted barn in the western part of the Beacons National Park. Sleeps four (plus cot) It is comfortable and light, with many character features including flag floors, white stone walls, oak beams and vaulted ceiling. Underfloor heating and wood burning stove ensure it is cosy in winter.
The barn is in a rural setting 100m from a minor road. It is across the yard from the owner's house, but is quite separate and very private. There is a secluded garden in the rear. A public access path from the door leads across farmland directly to Myddfai Mountain and the ranges of the Brecon Beacons beyond. The historic village of Myddfai is a 15 minute walk on quiet roads or across fields (or 3 minute drive). The nearby town of Llandovery is 3 miles away with a supermarket (open till late every day except Sunday) and a few specialty shops and services. Ideal for couples, and families wanting to mix a lovely rural location with visits to local attractions. The cottage has been graded 4 stars by 'Visit Wales'. See note on dogs below. Cottage is no-smoking. There is a key box - so guests free to arrive as suits.
Guests have said that they appreciate flexibility with booking. I offer two and three night breaks, as well as longer bookings (with discounts for 7 day and monthly stays) with any start date.
Returning guests will receive direct discount too.
DOGS: Small/medium dogs are welcome in the cottage. There are stone floors in the main rooms. Please note, the cottage is next to fields with sheep, and there is a large unfenced pond on site. The garden is not enclosed, so dogs need to be on a lead. As is common with holiday lets, pets are not to go on beds or sofas, or be left alone in the cottage. Please also bring bags to clean up dog mess. There are a few woodland walks nearby where dogs can go off their leads.

The location is beautiful and the cottage lovely and very comfortable. The hosts were absolutely amazing and helped us enormously when a sudden snow kept us from getting out for groceries. I can’t recommend this highly enough and hope to make it back for another stay!
Second time staying here and still in love with it as much as the first time. Lovely accommodation, lovely scenery and Janice is a gem!We’ll be back once our feet have recovered from all the walking!

We loved our stay at Beili Glas! Such a beautiful cosy barn, thoughtfully decorated, with everything we needed - and Janice is a really lovely welcoming and helpful host. A great place to learn about the area and explore. Highly recommend.

We had a really enjoyable stay at the cottage. Just what we needed for a relaxing few days in the Brecon Beacons. The cottage was cosy, well stocked, clean and comfortable. Janice was a great host and always available if we needed anything. Would 100% stay again.

Thank you for your comments about the cottage, and I am pleased you and the family had a good stay. I hope you do come again!
I often get people staying who want to visit events like Royal Welsh and Brecon Jazz, as well as some of the Literature Festivals - Hay, Dinefwr, Laugharne. The Sheep Festival in nearby Llandovery is also a good family event in September.
Thanks again. Janice
My husband and I had an amazing stay. We were very impressed by the hospitality of the hosts and loved the barn itself. It is located in a quiet area and features a cozy fireplace, barbecue facilities, and a beautiful, rare garden. Everything was clean and well-maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely recommend it!
Absolutely lovely experience. Janice was lovely, friendly and helpful. The place is absolutely beautiful. We will be definitely coming back! Thank you very much.
The sweet very comfortable cottage is in the most beautiful unspoilt part of the world. Great for walkers and idlers alike. Very friendly helpful host.
Me, my kids and the dog for the weekend. Janice had split the beds in the kids bedroom into two singles which was great. The cottage is nicer in real life than the pics. Lots of space and decent internet and TV (no mobile signal). Perfect place for a weekend of hill walking. Janice is also lovely.

About the host
Hosted by Janice Lewis
The cottage is an old milking barn, last used for that purpose in the 1970s. We refurbished the barn to combine modern convenience while retaining the property's character. We live in a farmhouse on the property, but have designed the cottage to give privacy and a quiet experience for the guests. The cottage is restricted by the planning authority for holiday letting only, with a maximum 31 day rental.
We are happy to offer advice about the area. We are keen walkers, and have OS maps in the cottage. Let me know if you are interested in anything in particular, and I will see if I can point you in the right direction.
We have stayed in many holiday cottages over the years and hope we have put our list of 'likes' and 'dislikes' to good use: comfortable beds, nice linen, sharp knives, hot showers, warm when the weather turns cold, and flexibility with booking dates.
The local community hall in Myddfai Village is popular for weddings, as well as other celebrations and events. Lesley and the team do a great job getting the word out about what a great venue it is, and many guests stay in the cottage. Do mention when booking if you are with a wedding for a special luxury bath gift from Myddfai Trading Co - a local social enterprise giving work opportunities to adults with learning difficulties.
You are welcome to make a general enquiry for more information, and to find out from me the best way to proceed with a booking.
We have many return bookings, and are happy if you come for 2 days or 2 weeks.
Why they chose this property
We love this part of Wales, which combines beautiful countryside, clear skies, peace and tranquility. While you feel far from crowds, it is easy to get to, being a short drive from the A40 and nearby Llandovery (with supermarket, butcher, organic shop, pubs, and cafes) It is also well placed to visit the Welsh coast - to the south and west, castles, the Brecon and Cambrian mountains, Hay-on-Wye, the Gardens of Carmarthenshire, and many other attractions. It is a farming community where both Welsh and English are heard. Welsh learners are made welcome too. The area has a fascinating history in the 'Physicians of Myddfai' and the legend of the 'Lady of the Lake'. The local village hall has lots of information about the area, and friendly volunteers in the cafe/craft shop. For those that want a bit of city life, Swansea is 1 & Cardiff 1.25 hours. There are cinemas in Carmarthen, Brynamman and Brecon. Llandeilo with nice shops, cafes, galleries is 25 minutes away.
What makes this property unique
If you enjoy walking or cycling, you have some fantastic countryside on the doorstep, and many more walks just 15-30 minutes drive away. The cottage is close to the village. The Myddfai Village hall/cafe is open 5 days a week to pop in for morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea. There is a lovely craft shop which features unique local crafts for all budgets.
The cottage is ideal accommodation for those attending weddings, receptions or parties in the village. The property has underfloor heating, so is comfortable in winter and will be warm on arrival. Guests can programme heat themselves. The wood burning stove in the main room makes it extra cosy. Welsh wool quilts are provided in the bedrooms. The cottage is all on one level, with plenty of off road parking at the door if you like. There are no steps once inside the cottage. There is a private shaded garden with a picnic table and bistro chairs.
