We loved the views and location; nice early morning walks possible from behind farmhouse were a bonus. Enjoyed a family game of ping pong too and used wood burner daily which was lovely. Big lounge perfect for our party of 16 to socialise before and after dinner in dining area in old farmhouse. Boiler issues (it kept cutting out and needed restartiRead moreng and checking regularly) were an irritant but once we knewhow, it was manageable. Owners were as helpful as possible from a distance.

The house is wonderful. So much space including a perfectly arranged dining room. Our children loved playing safely outside. The local paths were perfect for short early morning and evening walks. At the end of week everyone said they would like to come back again.

Loved the farmhouse and barn & having them both for our large family group was perfect. Rooms felt cosy & comfortable yet big enough for us all to eat/play/chill together.

As a multigenerational large family group we absolutely loved our stay at Llwynin Farm. The size of the accommodation and varied bedrooms and living spaces was perfect. The location and immediate surroundings were perfect. Lots of things to do in the area . We would recommend it for large family groups. Idyllic.
