On arrival, we were provided with a superb, freshly made cake which was a lovely and welcome surprise. Our hosts, Ceinwen and Geoffrey were very pleasant, friendly and helpful. The holiday barn itself was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. You are surrounded by wonderful views and the peace and quiet of the countryside. There is plenty to see locally, with the quaint and fascinating Llandrindod Wells close by, the Kite Feeding Station at Rhayader and the Spaceguard Station at Knighton, just a few of the places we visited. A quick mention for the amazing hot tub which was really the icing on the cake for us! In conclusion, we would not hesitate in recommending a holiday at Brynhir Farm, a little piece of heaven to be sure.

All the utensils you need are there, even baking trays-- never had them in any other cottage. Really comfy settees. Beds are so comfy, shower not good, could not get it cool enough but the bath was lovely. Roomy and nice. Met by a really lovely owner, very friendly. Close but only there if you need them. Was a wonderful week.

We were met by the lovely Mrs nixon who I had some nice chats with when I saw here during the week.the barn was amazing inside with 2 massive bedroom and bathrooms.the kitchen had everything you could need for your stay.the lounge was spacious and comfortable. We loved relaxing on the deck area in the evenings listening to the birds and the lambs .we didn't use the hot tub much but it was always warm and available for us if needed.we would highly recommend a stay at brynhir. And the bike rides I had from here were spectacular.
