Ty Hwnt & the Smithy

We are so fortunate to be based in the Llanthony Valley, which ius generally considered to be the gem of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Here we have two properties offering an 'away from it all' break.

The Smithy is a Traditional Homes Renovation Award winning mediaeval cottage set in an acre of 'wild garden' skirted by the river Honddu. Part of a hamlet of 4 houses with walking from the doorstep and within 3 minutes of the ruined 11th century Augustinian Priory. A haven for artists and ornithologists.

Ty Hwnt, featured in Country Living is a remote farmhouse set high on the hillside in the eye of the sun.

Both properties sleep 6, have log fires and are welcoming to return to after a day walking, pony trekking or browsing in the second hand bookshops at Hay on Wye.

There are many castles and churches well worth a visit asi is the Welsh Folk Museum and World Heritage Site at Blaenavon, lively martkets, lovely gardens and wonderful walks.
