Description from owner
Description
Ty Gwyn sits at the entrance to our 35 acre organic smallholding on the slopes of Sugar Loaf Mountain in the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is surrounded by fields and National Trust woodland.There are spectacular views in every direction, and footpaths up Sugar Loaf and into the Black Mountains pass through the farm allowing fabulous walking from the doorstep, and further afield in the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons. Outdoor activities such as cycling, riding, kayaking and wild swimming are available locally. Abergavenny is a foodie heaven, with great local produce in shops and the market, and excellent, nationally acclaimed restaurants just a few minutes' drive away.
NB LOW SEASON NIGHTLY PRICE REDUCED FOR FOUR/FIVE NIGHT STAYS
Ty Gwyn was built in 1970 to provide all the mod cons the old farmhouse then lacked. It is light and bright, with south-facing windows making the most of the sweeping views down the valley to Abergavenny below. Touches such as copper guttering and oak doors add distinction to its simple white exterior.
Inside, the clean modern lines of the rooms are enhanced by sparkling white walls, sleek Welsh slate floors and golden oak doors. The mix of contemporary and vintage furniture and fittings combine 21st century comfort with a retro 1950s twist.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to make the most of the superb local produce on offer here, including a homemade cake and eggs from our free range chickens and ducks. Home-reared organic lamb is usually available on request. In the living room a woodburner supplements the underfloor heating, making sure you can feel snug and warm whatever the weather is throwing at you. There is wifi access, TV and DVD, a radio, a CD player with i-pod dock, a selection of board games and loads of books.
The South Bedroom shares the upper floor with its own luxury bathroom and has views south across the Usk Valley to Abergavenny's second mountain, the Blorenge. It has solid oak flooring, kingsize bed, and 1950s oak furniture. The ensuite bathroom has a large, double-ended freestanding roll-top bath, basin and toilet.
The West Bedroom is a cosy twin-bedded room on the ground floor and looks out westward past our orchard and up to the slopes of the Rholben hill beyond. It has a built-in wardrobe and a 1950s tallboy for your clothes.
The Garden Bedroom is a bright, sunny room overlooking the south-facing garden and patio with views down to the town in the valley below. It has a kingsize bed and plenty of hanging and drawer space, again with 1950s oak furniture.
The two downstairs bedrooms share a wetroom with Welsh slate floor, walk-in shower, basin and toilet.
All towels and linen are provided and are 100% cotton. A cot is available on request.
There is plenty of space in the entrance porch for storing all your outdoor gear and oak double doors lead out from here to a patio and parking area; another door leads from the hallway to the pretty, enclosed south-facing garden with lawns, seating area and colourful shrubs – perfect for relaxing and drinking in the views. A barbecue is provided.
Ty Gwyn is an ideal base for events such as the Hay Festival (June) and Abergavenny Food Festival (September). The beaches of the Gower are just over an hour's drive, and the vibrant Welsh capital, Cardiff, is only 50 minutes away.
.
In all there are three houses at Porth-y-Parc: the original 16th century farmhouse where we live, The Old Barn at the far end of the yard (also available as a holiday cottage), and Ty Gwyn. All three are completely private, and none of the properties overlooks the others.

“A great house in a very pretty area”
The house itself was very comfortable, with under-floor heating, plentiful hot water, and very comfortable beds. The kitchen was very well-equipped and the views were amazing. Several nights we used the grill outside. The area is very pretty. It was our first time in Brecon Beacons and we did a lot of hiking, with two children - 3 and 5. The 3-year old was mostly carried but the 5-year old managed a lot of the walks/hikes by himself. Truly, it was a great place for a week-long holiday with kids that otherwise do not spend much time in the nature (unfortunately).
