Ysgubor Helyg

Ysgubor Helyg is a recent, quirky conversion of a traditional stone barn, semi-detached to the owners’ farmhouse on a quiet rural no-through lane in the hills between Llanfair Caereinion (6.5 miles) and Carno (8 miles), 10 miles north of Caersws. This is a peaceful location for those wishing to walk and drive the beautiful Mid Wales countryside.
