These amazing rolling hills here are incredible and the house is very cozy and snug and the stream is lovely. I’m 10 and completed the treasure hunt yesterday with my brother and we enjoyed it so much. This place is great.
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.

Stunning views, lovely cottage, really well appointed – and fabulous hosts. Thank you!
We have had an awesome time here at Straw Cottage. We’ve visited Elan Valley which was beautiful and driven over the mountain road – stunning. We’ve enjoyed the treasure hunt, seeing bats and catching pond skaters in the stream.
Beautiful cottage in a lovely area. We had wonderful time, 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
Friendly and welcoming. Lovely cottage and perfect base for our stay. Thank you Margot & Anthony
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’ve loved our stay. Thank you so much, as always!
An enjoyable stay as always in these beautiful surroundings.
A lovely week. Also our dogs loved it.
Perfect for couples. Lovely situation and ideal for our rally, thank you
We had such a wonderful time staying in the Straw Cottage. We will all feel completely refreshed. An owl came to greet us on the first morning, right outside the bathroom window, which was pretty special. We rode the pedalos on the lake, drove to the Elan Valley which was beautiful, had a day at the Show Caves and Dinosaur Park, all absolutely amazing. The landscape is so stunning here, the driving around is such a pleasure. Also had so much fun exploring the woods and fields nearby and the kids loved the treasure hunt! We wish we’d stayed an extra few days, feel sad to be leaving so soon.
Too amazing to put into words! Thanks Margot & Anthony
We loved the stay at the Straw Cottage. since we had no technology we all read a lot more and chatted to each other more instead of parents isolating themselves on their phones! We also went everywhere using a map! We all enjoyed the hammock and river loads and we saw many bats. It was weird because we would all look for light switches!! The treasure hunt was so fun! The nature around was beautiful!!! Our dog loved roaming in the woods and jumping through the bushes and splashing in the river!! We loved our stay. Thank you.
Granary Cottage, – lovely slice of heaven here. Best host, best cottage, best farm in beautiful countryside.
Our 2nd visit to Granary Cottage, we love the cottage and this beautiful area.
Lovely hideaway, great set up, had a lovely relaxing time. Thank you.
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!
Another fab week with you and boy great weather this time! Thanks very much both.
Location and owners Margot & Anthony make Granary Cottage a favourite place to stay. Whatever the weather so much to see and enjoy. We love the peace and quiet.
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.
A amazing holiday exploring the area, beautiful, homely cottage. Thank you for a memorable holiday, the views were stunning too.
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.
An all too brief stay, The Granary Cottage is beautiful as are the surroundings. Thank you Margot & Anthony- perfect hosts.
We have had such a wonderful time at the Straw Cottage. Peaceful, relaxing and just what we were after. Hoping to return in the not too distant future. What a lovely part of the world.
Enjoyed our stay in this cozy barn, lapping up the peace and serenity of the area
Lovely, lovely time at Straw Cottage. Lovely walks for our dog ‘Churchy’. Lots of places to visit. Not enough time to do them all. All the locals were extremely friendly. Super little lake down hill from the Golf Course. Fantastic views wherever you looked. Hosts were very helpful. Will definitely be back.
“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.”
We have had the best stay – nice to switch off and really enjoy nature. We ate every single meal outside (even in the rain) and our Margot loved watching all the “sheepies” and the red kites. We had everything we needed – thank you so much.
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.
