This stable block was used to house the farms shire horses (the tractors of their day) in individual stables, but during the renovation it was found that the stables were so badly riddled with wood worm most of the existing timber had to be disposed of. in the lounge you will notice that there is a plaque that is from the Glamorgan regiment for the 2 horses that the farm gave them to aid the war effort in the first World War in 1914.

About the host
Hosted by Host
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.
