The cottage was gorgeous and had all the equipment needed if you were wanting to cook, do a wash etc... I have mobility issues and was relying on using a walker, the layout of the barn was very suitable for me and the downstairs loo was a godsend Outside space was amazing and well kept. You had to drive for local amenities, but the journey was gorgeous, typically Welsh and made my a little homesick, as I now live in England. The snug area and the large kitchen table were my favourites, as we all came together for a natter or to watch the TV. I managed to read 2 books in a week, something that I have never been able to do before, so thank you for giving me the space to unwind and just be.... Will be back

Comfortable converted barn, located deep in the countryside. We used this as our base for a week of walking in the hills of the Brecon Beacons, but also visited the excellent Carreg Cennen Castle (visible in the views from the property) and Llandeilo.

We had a lovely time staying at Rhandir Barn it was quite remote and there aren't that many shops on the doorstep to get food supplies but this didn't bother us as we took everything we needed and one of the appeals was that it was remote. The accommodation was clean and very well equipped the lounge area was cosy to chill out in during the evenings and the garden was great for our 3.5 year old to run around in. All in all we had a lovely weeks holiday here.
