Another lovely week in your beautiful cottage. Thank you
Welcome to Ty Gwyn Farm
About Ty Gwyn Farm
Country courses, glamping in a Straw Bale Cottage and self catering accommodation at Granary Cottage at Ty Gwyn Farm, Llandrindod Wells, Radnorshire, Wales.
About Us
Ty Gwyn Farm in Mid Wales is a traditional mixed farm, sitting in the rolling hills of Radnorshire, with stunning panoramic views in every direction.
Ty Gwyn is an ideal base from which to explore this hidden, unspoilt area of Mid Wales. The beautiful Elan Valley, Builth Wells and Hay on Wye are all within easy reach. There are walks around the farm and plenty of footpaths and long distance walks in the area of Radnorshire and Llandrindod Wells. Watch the wildlife; we have red kites, buzzards, hares and badgers, enjoy clean air, open skies and absolute peace and quiet. From the farm there is easy access to the Victorian Spa town of Llandrindod Wells which still retains its magnificent buildings many of which surround the Temple Gardens. Within the town there are supermarkets, local food shops, a Victorian theatre, gift shops, coffee shops, restaurants and pubs. The 13 acre lake is a particular feature with a magnificent dragon fountain in the middle.
Ty Gwyn is in a truly beautiful location. As you drive down the lane, you can see the vast panorama of hills spread out before you. Once here, there is a total peace and quiet, no other properties can be seen and the sky is dark at night, so you can see the stars. The only sounds you may hear are the birds, the stream and the sounds of our livestock. The lane that comes to the farm is very quiet and does not really go anywhere so we only get about one car a day using it!

The Straw Cottage
The ultimate get away
The Straw Cottage is truly far from the madding crowd, an off grid straw bale cottage in an idyllic spot on the farm. Wake up to the sound of birdsong, go to sleep to the sound of Holly Brook, breakfast outside with just the meadow flowers and the hills for company. This is the romance of a bygone era with modern comfort.
Granary Cottage
The ultimate get away
Granary Cottage sits in the quiet courtyard of Ty Gwyn Farm surrounded by 130 acres of our farm. Ty Gwyn is in a truly beautiful location. Driving down the lane, the vast panorama of hills is spread out before you. Once here, you will have total peace and quiet, no other houses can be seen, the sky is dark at night and yet we are only 2.5 miles from the Victorian spa town of Llandrindod Wells. Within the town there are local food shops, supermarkets, a Victorian theatre, coffee shops, restaurants and garages. The 13 acre lake is a particular feature with a magnificent dragon fountain in the middle.

What a fantastic place to spend Easter. The Easter bunny found us and hid eggs on Sunday. We enjoyed watching animals, seeing squirrels, lots of birds and the sheep with their spring lambs without ever having to leave the Straw Cottage. Cerys loved the box of toys and books, while the grown ups were lucky to have 2 clear nights to stargaze. We visited the Lake, Elan Valley and Erwood Station as well as Shaky Bridge. Thank you for your help re-lighting the boiler (when our common sense failed!) We loved our stay.
We have had the most amazing and relaxing holiday! The children have loved playing outside and the grown ups loved no phones!!
Just what the doctor ordered! So wonderful to be away from the hustle and bustle of life!! Straw Cottage made us sit back and just enjoy. Fabulous farm walks, loved Elan Valley and its stunning views. Lucky with the weather too 23degrees in October. who would have thought! Lovely to meet you Margot – thanks for the thoughtful things in the cottage – we will bring our friends next time!
We’ve had a restful and restorative 4 days. We have enjoyed unplugging and switching off – especially the boys! We enjoyed the treasure hunt – fun for all ages and lots of walks around the farm/playing in the stream. Reading books and many games of Ludo, surprisingly competitive) & chinese chequers. Cottage excellent and well equipped. Thank you for having us.
Thank you Margot for a lovely week in Straw Cottage! We really enjoyed our few days of ‘digital detox’ resting in the cottage, going for a farm walk daily, playing games by the candlelight, doing puzzles and crosswords and watching the sheep go by. We spent most of the week nearby but enjoyed our day out at Hay looking in all the bookshops. We’ve left a little illustrated memento of our visit – in homage to the beautiful view from the cottage – thanks again.
A wonderful few nights, comfortable and cosy cottage with everything you need. Gorgeous walking and beautiful scenery. Thank you.
We have loved our stay here! We have loved going on walks, wandering the fields, visiting Elan Valley and having camp fires! Thank you so much for super cosy stay here! having no electricity was fun too! Thank you! We loved visiting Hay -on-Wye and its bookshops – we recommend it!
Our 4th visit to the Straw Cottage!! We love it here so much. The weather has been fantastic. We enjoy watching and listening to the wild life. We had visits from The Bats, Mr. Hare, the woodpeckers! Poppy loves playing in the stream finding lots of treasure. We will miss our relaxing mornings! The Fforest Inn is still doing an amazing carvery on Sunday. Poppy (10years) says Thank you for the lovely stay. I enjoyed it sooo much! The roast was delicious at the Fforest Inn. I helped unblock the stream. It was amazing. xxx
Although we arrived in the dark, we managed to settle in quickly, getting the fire going and the gas hob on. It was a first holiday as a relatively new family of 4. Roo being 8 months and we couldn’t have asked for a better location and more glorious weather! We needed this break from normality more than we realised! Thank you. What a beautiful setting for the cottage.
Beautiful, tranquil , peace with lovely views. Good base for us.
Really relaxing stay in Granary cottage, everything we needed was supplied. Lovely local walks with the dog. Fantastic hosts. Thank you.
I really enjoyed staying in this sweet little house. The Straw insulation was effective and keep us warm. It suggests lots of things to explore. Me and mum (me is Thomas) enjoyed exploring the woods on the trail. I didn’t want to leave! Bye bye Straw House
What an excellent find! Such a beautiful and idyllic place to finish our holiday. Being completely immersed in nature (off the grid) has been so good for the kids, playing in the river to BBQs on the veranda to evenings of candlelit UNO, every day has been special. A little “UK summer weather” also didn’t get in the way, visiting Elan Valley, Brecon, Rhayader, Devils Bridge and an excellent 10Km walk from our doorstep. Thanks for having us and hope the next visitors enjoy it as much as we did.
As ever, comfortable and in a perfect location for our return visit. Many thanks
“The three of us stayed at Ty Gwyn Farm while attending a workshop in Howey. Margot is a very friendly and helpful host who made us feel most welcome. We really enjoyed our stay in this charming, rustic place surrounded by nature. The 30-minute walk through the beautiful countryside to Howey each day was a refreshing and enjoyable contrast to the workshop.”
Lovely spot, quiet and dark skies at night. Great retreat to unwind in. Comfortable beds.
We have been coming back here since 2008!! A beautify place to relax, forget about things, and get in some beautiful walks.
Most wonderful place to stay. Peaceful and beautiful
A lovely week in Margot & Anthony’s perfect cottage. We are always made very welcome. It is a perfect location with stunning scenery and great walks.
Enjoyed our stay in this cozy barn, lapping up the peace and serenity of the area
Great place, Granary Cottage is lovely and clean. We will be back, thank you
We’ve had a relaxed & enjoyable holiday in the beautiful Straw Cottage. The walks straight from the farm have been fun and challenging. Thank you Margot & Anthony for creating a wonderful, woodland retreat.
We’ve had the most wonderful week staying at Straw Cottage. We’ve loved exploring the walks around the farm – doing chunks of the ‘green route’ was ideal for our kids (6yr and 4yrs) having the map to follow was great. The weather has been on our side so we’ve enjoyed having all our meals outside, BBQ and smores on the firepit. Being here has been so lovely and relaxing, we definitely don’t want to leave.
” I really liked making a den and I loved the treasure hunt as well” Casper
We had a fantastic weekend. Granary Cottage is beautiful. Surrounded by gorgeous gardens & sheep! Very relaxing. Highly recommend, everything you need.
Margot, what magic you have created here and how special to share that with others. We’ve had the most amazing weekend at The Straw Cottage. The grounds are like something from a fairy tale and we loved the sights on the walk into town. The Elan Valley was out of this world beautiful and we have loved every minute of our quality time together away from the outside world. Evenings by candlelight, red wine, monopoly and a roaring fire was every bit as romantic as we could have wished for. Can’t wait to come and stay again.
Friendly, welcome, cottage has all you need for a quiet and relaxing break. Thank you
Thank you for such a great few days in nature, the sound of the birds and stream were delightful. It was great to explore the countryside. The cottage itself was so lovely, perfect to snuggle up to read and watch the fire whilst feeling totally “off grid”. We wished we could have stayed longer
We were in dire need of a massive switch off from everyday life – and thankfully that’s exactly what we found at the wonderful Straw Cottage! The farm is beautiful and Gigi enjoyed running around! We visited the Elan Valley, Mach loop, Devils Bridge and finally the stunning mountains at Snowdonia. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful cottage.
Frosty mornings, brilliant sunshine and thousands of stars. A beautiful place. Many thanks
