With its Dark Skies Reserve status, varied landscapes and unforgettable walking and hiking routes, the Brecon Beacons National Park boasts everything you need for a stay in rural Wales. Head out and find endless walks from the doorstep, summiting Pen y Fan (14 miles) or travelling to the region’s Black Mountain range (30 miles). Fishermen will rejoice with fishing on the River Crai available on the estate and the Usk Reservoir (7 miles) not far for salmon and brown trout fishing, whilst younger guests will enjoy tending to the sheep on the owner’s farm or taking a trip to the nearby National Showcaves Centre for Wales (8.5 miles).

 

Reached via some steps, head inside this stylishly converted 200-year-old stone barn to find plenty of contemporary and original features, including exposed stone walls alongside modern and homely furniture. On arrival, step into the spacious kitchen where electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine offer everything you need to make yourselves at home. This room opens out into an open-plan living and dining room, where a table set for four is the perfect place to enjoy meals together. The cosy lounge boasts comfortable seating, TV/DVD, CD player, a selection of books and games for you to enjoy together. Continue onto the first floor to find two bedrooms, both with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and sloping ceilings. A spacious master bedroom has an en-suite with shower and WC, whilst across the hall, the twin bedroom has an en-suite with shower over bath and WC. Both bathrooms benefit from heated towel rails and the bedrooms are well-equipped with handy storage and antique-style furniture.

 

You will find a small patio area to the side of the property, where an outdoor dining set and BBQ offer a great spot for an al fresco evening outdoors. Be sure to make use of the shed to store bikes and sports equipment, and feel free to roam the surrounding farmland.

This was an absolutely fantastic cottage - well equipped, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, in an absolutely breathtaking location. The owners were very friendly and helpful, bringing fans when the temperature rose. The last couple of minutes' drive to the property is very narrow and winding which was a bit hair-raising - but worth it forRead more such an idyllic location. Hide

We lucked up and arrived during lambing season. What a wonderful treat it was to get to hear and see the newborn lambs and all their childlike antics. We stayed in the 2 bedroom unit and had plenty of room. The owners did a great job of remodeling the old barn into living quarters. Giving it a brand new look while keeping some the charm of the oldRead more barn. The owners are very welcoming and willing to allow you to walk their fields. Dont let the small roads leading to their place keep you from enjoying this wonderful jewel. Hide

Great week in a really lovely cottage. We had everything we needed and felt well looked after with the owners checking in on us. Comfy beds with lovely fluffy towels. We had sheep and goats right outside the windows, with beautiful views. Plenty of local activities to choose from. Would highly recommend a stay at Rye Barn

Excellent location and the directions given by the owner were extremely helpful. The cottage has everything you need, a real home from home. Having two bathrooms makes it a great place to stay with family or friends. The kitchen is well equipped and having a dishwasher as well as a washing machine is really helpful. I particularly loved the large fRead moreridge freezer as this meant I only needed to shop once for the whole week. There is plenty to see and do. The owner introduced herself on the 1st day. Hide
