Llwynbwch Barn

Originally a hay barn, Llwynbwch Barn has been thoughtfully converted into a light and airy space with a homely feel and sustainability at its heart -including lime-plastered walls, sheep wool insulation and a living roof.

A double-height vaulted ceiling and skylights characterise the main living dining space, with a cosy woodburning stove set into a fabulous floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Mid-century and vintage furniture create a timeless aesthetic designed for relaxation.

Llwynbwch Barn has its own pretty, private, garden -a wildlife haven and perfect for birdwatching - which overlooks the ‘Fan’, the local hill.  Guests have free roam of our 80 acres of conservation land with meadows, streams and woodland glades, managed for nature and wildlife.

Bedroom at Llwnbwch Barn with deep blue and white walls, wooden floor and double bed with white linen and a traditional Welsh checked blanket throw. Views to garden beyond through glazed door.

The Main Bedroom…

The main bedroom (pictured) is kept cosy with its woodburning stove and a unique bed crafted by Adam, from sycamore felled here at Llwynbwch.  You can access the garden from this bedroom for an al fresco breakfast or a spot of stargazing.

Level Access

The barn has level access downstairs, with the living/ dining room, kitchen, main bedroom, wetroom bathroom and additional loo all being on the ground floor.

Mezzanine

The second bedroom is a mezzanine, accessed from the kitchen and has twin beds (which can easily be put together into a double).

We loved it!

The barn and the garden are so lovely - it was so relaxing and inspiring - helping us to get a lot of work done!

Thanks for being kind and always quick to help.

Best wishes!

We absolutely loved our stay in the barn. It was a perfect get away from our usual busy schedules. The barn has everything you need, with lots of cosy and homely touches. The garden is tranquil too.

Thank you for your hospitality!

Wales is such a breath takingand picturesque country: lavish green sea and hills - simply beautiful. For other future guests of this cosy house, Skomer island, Three Cliffs Bay and Elan Valley (with bikes) are a must.

Thank you!

Viv & Jacqui

Such a wonderful quiet and relaxing space and so much thought gone into the accommodation, we had a lovely time. Recommend the independent shops in Llandeilo. Visit to Newton House Dinefwr much enjoyed and if the weather is good definitely the walk up to Carreg Cennen castle - what views!

Llandovery also interesting but forget Carmarthen - depressing! Aberglasney Gardens well worth a visit.

The garden birds enjoyed the fat balls, thank you!

Chris, Kacie & Chloe

We had a wonderful weekend, thank you so much for a lovely time, very hospitable!

Very tasty honey, beautiful surroundings and a relaxing time we all needed.

Dawn & Jo, Jenny & Jini

Dear Adam & Lou, thank you so much for a truly wonderful stay at ‘Under Starry Skies’. We came here to escape the busyness of everyday life and your place was exactly what we needed - peaceful, beautiful and so thoughfully put together. We left feeling refreshed and already looking forward to coming back some day.

Diolch!

Mel & Anna

What a great place! It was a wonderful base to explore the area - beautiful drives and views. Thanks Adam for the recommendation of Lolfa cafe in Llandeilo which we loved. An easy drive to the Four waterfalls Trail makes for a wonderful day out.

We hope to be back again as it’s a wonderfully peaceful place.

Graham & Linda

A wonderful week looking at the wildlife of West Wales. Highlights this year were: lots of Marsh Fritillary butterflies here at Llwynbwch, Painted Lady butterflies Mwnt and Green Hairstreak butterflies at Tregaron Bog. Several beautiful Demoiselle dragonfiles at Cwm Brefi, Tregaron Bog and the Gold mine.

Here in the garden we saw Redstarts, Pied Flycatchers and Wood Warblers.

All in all, a very good week with kind weather all set in the stunning countryside of West Wales. Best wishes Lou & Adam!

Harri & Franky

We had such a lovely time in this wonderful barn, so spacious yet so cosy. Thank you for being great hosts. Wales is so stunning we shall certainly return!

Flavia, Fabian, Bob & Rhys

Thank you for having us at your amazing barn! We loved watching the birds at the birdfeeder and meeting one of the cats. We enjoyed a long walk and spotting red kites. Also found the Sexton Arms pub which was great, especially the walk back in the dark!

Hope to be back really soon.

We really enjoyed our little weekend stay, the barn is lovely and cosy. Watching all the little birds in the garden was entertaining. The stars in the sky last night were amazing!

Zoe, Tom, Ben & Oli

A short but very sweet stay in a peaceful setting. The local castles are amazing, but I think my 10 year old son was more impressed with the huge amount of frog spawn in the pond on the track!

Thanks for thinking of everything and for the very warm welcome.A short but very sweet stay in a peaceful setting. The local castles are amazing, but I think my 10 year old son was more impressed with the huge amount of frog spawn in the pond on the track!

When we asked if the music was too loud the response was ‘crank it up!’, absolute legend! Loved how relaxing and serene this place is 10/10 - George

An amazing second visit, great place with great people. Adam & Lou are extremely accommodating, helped us with starting the fire, let us check out late & didn’t mind us washing our muddy boots with their garden hose! I love coming to this place and showing the stars to the people I love. Thanks for the memories! - Ben

Immaculate vibes, views and impeccable hosts who are friendly, accommodating and helpful - can’t ask for more! - Oli

Lovely stay. Stars were amazing! Such nice hosts too. Will definitely be back! - Siri

We stayed in Hafan cabin in 2015 and loved the farm and local area so decided to return, but this time to stay in Llwynbwch Barn!

We had the most lovely, relaxing time here. Visits from birds and two lovely, friendly cats. Thank you for being such gracious hosts, we enjoyed our time tremendously!

Thanks for a great stay.

Jane & Martyn

Lovely barn provided us with a restful few days - mainly watching varied birdlife in the garden. Bought some peanuts for them which the woodpeckers and nuthatches demolished! Not too lucky with the weather, but did have one very beautiful day. Very relaxing which is what matters.

Thanks very much, ev charger much appreciated.

Another fantastic week looking at the wildlife of Mid Wales. The birds, butterflies, dragonflies and flowers all put on a wonderful show for us. Highlights were a pair of dippers with two young in Cwm Drefi, two Hobbies at Tregaron bog, Marsh tits at Dinas, stunning views of several warblers including willow warblers and male Blackcaps, Redstarts, Pied flycatchers. Loads of 4 spot chaser dragonflies at Tregaron and Green hairstreak butterflies, a pair of Great spotted woodpeckers put on a good display here at Llwynbwch. Finally a black and red froghopper was new to us. A superb week, even the weather was perfect!

Ange & Jane

Beautiful spot, so many different birds in the garden. We loved sitting on the bench, watching them feed to the sound of distant sheep, so peaceful.

We've been so lucky with the weather, being able to visit some stunning places in and around the Brecon Beacons: Paxton's Tower, Dryslwyn castle, Aberglasney Gardens, Brecon and the four waterfalls walk at Ystradfellte.

The Downer family

Thanks so much for a lovely stay in your beautiful barn. The sun shone and we love exploring the area - so much to see and do. Beautiful beaches, stunning woodlands all topped off with cosy fires and comfy beds.

We'll definitely be back! Off to see castles today...
