A beautifully refurbished three-bedroom barn with all the necessary amenities and the novelty of the outside baths. Good location for a holiday in the hills of the Brecon Beacons or on the beaches of Swansea and the Gower. Friendly, welcoming and attentive hosts who were very generous with their time. Adults and children all loved it!

We had an absolutely brilliant stay at The Old Barn, it was perfect for what we needed. Location is great, various things we wanted to do were all in about a 30-45 min drive radius, and the place itself was exactly what we wanted for relaxation and comfort. The baths outside were a real highlight!
