We stayed for a week here, unfortunately we had appalling weather which was not the fault of the owners of Rhandir Barn of course, but it did highlight the remoteness of the cottage and lack of local amenities. We knew it was remote when we booked so, again, not the owners fault but certainly something to consider.However, the cottage was clean and comfortable (and dry) and we had a very enjoyable stay. Everything we needed was provided as well as some games, jigsaws and a smart TV. WiFi was brilliant 👍🏼

Great cottage in great rural location on the western edge of the Beacons with access to some great walks from the door and within 30 minutes drive. Good spacious comfortable accommodation.

Es ist einsam um Rhandir Barn. Das war uns aber bewusst und diese Abgeschiedenheit ist herrlich. Morgens hoppelt der Hase über die Wiese und die Schafe mähen. Im Haus haben wir alles gefunden was wir benötigt haben, Küche, Backofen alles top. Die obere Etage mit den Schlafzimmern war ebenfalls sehr gut. Der Blick auf die Burgruine ist sehr schön und die Wiesenfläche hat unseren Kindern gut zum Ball spielen gefallen. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen.
