Sheep

So cute. Loved it. Would stay here again. The pictures didn't do the interior justice. Very nice, lots of character. Not a boring gray hotel room. No wifi led us to watching local Welsh TV, which was great... So many news stories with sheep in the background. Board games provided.

What a beautiful place!

The pictures don't do this property justice, it is finished to a very high standard, is very comfortable and cosy and in the most amazing location! We booked this property last minute as another booking fell through and the hosts were fantastic answering my many questions! They made us feel very safe by taking lots of measures to prevent the transmission and spread of coronavirus. The view from the garden down into the valley is simply stunning and being joined by the animals on the farm and the farm dogs was a real treat. We was here to watch a meteor shower and the sky was the clearest, darkest sky I've ever seen in the UK. There is very little surrounding light pollution and only minimal noise from a distant road. The bedrooms were beautiful and the beds comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and modern, with everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be booking a return trip!

About the host

Hosted by Jack

Host profile image
I am a sheep farmer in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Ysgubor Bach is a wonderful home from home place, which is kept immaculately clean by myself and family.

Why they chose this property

Ysgubor Bach has direct access onto the Brecon Beacons National Park and is only approximately a 2.5 hour trek from Pen Y Fan, the highest mountain in South Wales and Southern Britain. Ysgubor Bach is surrounded by countryside and nature but less than an hour to Cardiff, the capital city.
