We had a magical stay at Straw Cottage. Thank you! Everything was perfect. We can’t wait to return.
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!
I loved the treasure hunt! Definitely recommend. I really liked exploring Wales and we even saw a tiny field mouse near the hammock. The local Indian was divine and Devil’s bridge was beautiful. The little details of the cottage really makes it a great place to be and it was so weird not having lights! Thank you Straw Cottage
Absolutely beautiful!! We’ve had an amazing few days. It’s so peaceful here. We love the stream, the birds, the baby squirrels and the owls. It’s great to have a break from phones/screens.
Once again, a lovely week in Granary Cottage.
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.
Perfect spot for exploring the lanes on the bikes taking in the hills and the valleys.
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.
Our 2nd visit to Granary Cottage, we love the cottage and this beautiful area.
Beautiful, cosy cottage to call home while visiting my dad. Beautiful views and trails and such hospitable hosts, we’ve felt so welcomed. Will definitely 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 were back again this year!! That says it all. Thank you both.
Great stay. Booked for next year.
Thank you for a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the treasure hunt and loved exploring the area!
As ever, comfortable and in a perfect location for our return visit. Many thanks
Thank you so much – I have loved every minute spent in this lovely cottage in a beautiful location – I can definitely see a return in my future! So quiet and peaceful – exactly what we wanted! A beautiful cosy couple of days watching the stream.
Another lovely week in your beautiful cottage. Thank you
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.
Beautiful, tranquil , peace with lovely views. Good base for us.
Too amazing to put into words! Thanks Margot & Anthony
A amazing holiday exploring the area, beautiful, homely cottage. Thank you for a memorable holiday, the views were stunning too.
What a fabulous cottage. We spent 3 magical days as a family of four – our first as a family of four! We enjoyed the cosy fire, stargazing and spending some quality time together. We will remember this holiday very fondly. Many thanks.
A lovely week. Also our dogs loved it.
Enjoyed our stay in this cozy barn, lapping up the peace and serenity of the area
We had a fantastic weekend. Granary Cottage is beautiful. Surrounded by gorgeous gardens & sheep! Very relaxing. Highly recommend, everything you need.
The perfect weekend away! This has been such a wonderful few days escape, just what we needed. The kids have loved spending ages playing in the stream and exploring the surrounding woodland. The treasure hunt was great, thank you so much for taking the time to do this! We have so enjoyed being ‘cut off’ from the outside world, in our own little bubble, with no screens. Elan Valley was also a fun trip out. Thank you so much, such lovely family memories made.
Beautiful cottage in a lovely area. We had wonderful time, thank you.
“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.”
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.
Had a lovely stay. We will definitely return.
