Beautiful cottage in a lovely area. We had wonderful time, thank you.

Welcome to Ty Gwyn Farm
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.

Upon returning to the Straw Cottage, this time Poppy shouted “We are home!” This place really holds a special place in our hearts. We feel so relaxed. We visited Elan Valley, it’s a must!! We met the fox this time which Poppy has named Flick. Thank you for having such a magical place Margot. We will be back again. xxx

Magical, peaceful , luxurious weekend – we completely fell in love with the cottage and no one wanted to go home. Mostly just stayed put exploring the fields and the woods, playing games in front of the fire, feeling snug and quiet and happy. Thank you for sharing your little wonderland! I hope we’ll be back soon.

Had a great 3 night stay and thank you for having us. Jude has eaten all the ripe blackberries within a mile radius of the cottage! To be close to wildlife, nature and the trickling brook is a real treat that we will miss when we’re home. Thank you Anthony and Margot

We loved the Straw Cottage so much. It was the perfect holiday. We all enjoyed sitting by candlelight and eating our dinner in the garden. It was just what we needed to relax and take a break. Me and my sister loved the treasure hunt and the ponds in the stream. We found lots of Mayfly nymphs! We also found a dragonfly emerging from its casing by the stream. From Eliza & Matilda

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’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.

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.

We love Straw Cottage so much, this was our 3rd stay. We always feel so relaxed and never want to leave. Despite the weather we still enjoyed our days, playing in the stream walks, Elan Valley and visiting the towns. Muffin (our dog) loves being able to roam free and curl up on our laps whilst we sit outside on the veranda. Thank you for having such a beautiful place, we will be back.

We’ve had a wonderful stay at Straw Cottage. What a fantastic way to slow down and spend quality family time. We loved going on muddy walks, feeding the swans and geese at the lake (where they do the best ice creams and coffee) playing games, baking, star gazing and cozying up by the fire. 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
