We're 1000 feet up and the views are brilliant! The Barn Annexe has a remote and "get away from it all" feeling, but is just three miles from the main A470 road, and a short drive from Hay-on-Wye, Brecon, Builth Wells, and the Brecon Beacons National Park. The Barn Annexe is perfect for a self-catering stay. Private parking for one or two cars is right by the front door. Downstairs is open plan, with spacious kitchen, dining and lounge areas, and a toilet; upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower and toilet. There's wifi throughout, a picnic table outside, and a grassy lawn leading down to a stream. Have a wander: you are welcome. And there are great walks, literally from the front door! More information • Recently converted from a former double garage, the Barn Annexe is roomy, smart, clean and comfortable. And deliberately uncluttered, but with all the essentials for a comfy stay. • The front door looks out onto green fields with a great view up the beautiful Sgethwin valley. Above us is the common land of Cefn Llwydallt. To the south, Hay Bluff and the rest of the Brecon Beacons are our backdrop. • It's quiet! Fall asleep to the sounds of sheep and the breeze in the trees. • There are lots of fine walks, nearby or just a short drive away, along the River Wye and in the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons. • Night-time skies are dark (bring your telescope!) • It's a good place for bird watchers: crossbill, pipits, wheatear, kites, buzzards... • Sorry, but we can’t accept dogs (we have cats, and there are sheep nearby). • Please note that this is a rural location, with access via single-track roads and a track. Interaction with guests The Barn where we (Jo and Dave) live is nearby, but not too close. We won’t be in your face! We'll do our best to help you enjoy your stay in our beautiful valley. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Dryer - Laundry facilities ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - On a lake - On a river ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,076 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM Contactless check-in available Minimum check-in age: 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules Please note that this is a rural location, with access via narrow roads and an unsurfaced track, which can be muddy after rain.

Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The location was stunning. 1000 ft up with magnificent views. We had great weather so sitting outside and watching the birds who seemed to do special displays for us! The instructions on how to find the property were excellent (one tricky bit on the last leg which was to look out for a telegraph pole!). Almost equidistant between Builth Wells, Brecon and Hay-on-Way it was ideally located - great gallery at Erwood itself, definitely worth a visit. If you are a walker this is a wonderful place to stay. The accommodation was spacious and satisfactorily equipped. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cameron J.

Jun 17, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable, stylish accommodation in a beautiful location The barn annexe is a spacious, comfortable option for anyone wanting to enjoy the peace and wonderful views across the valley. Dave and Jo were very generous hosts. We were walking the Wye Valley Way and they kindly offered to pick us up from the village to save a long walk up the hill. Would love to have had more time to enjoy this lovely cottage and think it would make a great base for anyone wanting to explore the region. I would definitely return if back in the area. Communication with the owners was also excellent and they are very thoughtful hosts. Highly recommend the Barn Annexe ##### Judy S.
