Description from owner

Description

A beautifully renovated and tastefully furnished stone barn set in a tranquil hillside location on the outskirts of Brecon with stunning views of the Brecon Beacons, the Black Mountains and Hay Bluff. As one guest commented 'The Byre has all the luxury of a 5* hotel with the added bonus of being self catering'. Perfect as a bolt hole from the stresses of life where you can kick off your shoes and relax in front of the log burning stove and admire the views whilst curled up on the sofa with a glass of wine and a good book. Alternatively you can soak up the sun and the views on the decking whilst enjoying a barbecue. The Byre is also ideal for those more active types seeking outdoor pursuits such as walking, cycling, canoeing, pony trekking etc. For the culture vultures there's Llanthony Priory, Hay Book Festival, Theatr Brycheiniog, Brecon Jazz Festival, Abergavenny Food Fesitival, The Green Man Festival and Penderyn Distillery to name a few. After a full day's activity you may choose to cook a meal in the well-equipped kitchen. Alternatively, you may opt to eat out, the nearest restaurant being the renowned Felinfach Griffin just a mile away along quiet country lanes.

Response from the owner Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm so sorry that your stay fell short of the mark, especially since two out of three of your 'gripes' could have been so easily rectified. It is such a shame that you didn't tell us about the heating as we could have resolved that problem immediately. The system is highly sensitive which is why we fix it at a recommended temperature but we would willingly have modified it to suit your requirements. Likewise with the kitchen equipment - had there been anything in particular you required to make your stay all the more enjoyable we could easily have provided it from the plethora of utensils and equipment that we keep on standby to avoid over cluttering up the small kitchen. Unfortunately the chairs will not be changed in the foreseeable future as all our other guests have found them comfortable. I will, however, bear your comments in mind when I come round to seeking out and upholstering replacement armchairs in the future. Kind regards, A
