This old stone barn used to house the market cart up to 50 years ago (think of "The Hay Wain" by Constable). It now has sleeping accommodation for up to 16 people.
Perfect for groups that want to get out into the wild open spaces and return to basic, cheap accommodation that provides warmth, drying facilities, and where dinner can be eaten sitting round the woodburning stove.
Perfect for two or three families that want to ride in the school holidays, or where adults may wish to let their children do the riding while they explore the valley on foot or by car.
Perfect for Duke of Edinburgh groups practising for their Award during the winter months when camping is unacceptable.
The barn has three separate sleeping areas, in all providing enough beds for 16 people. Everyone must bring sleeping bags and pillowslips.
There are showers with hot water. Guests cater for themselves in a fully equipped kitchen, and there is a large area with one enormous table and benches for eating.
It is not a 'luxury' barn ~ there are no sofas or television ~ but it is great fun, with a real barn atmosphere, and flagstone floors so that the mud is easily swept up.
And there is the added attraction of two pubs within easy walking distance serving real beer and bar food.

Just walk, and admire the scenery
Pony trekking, canoeing, cycling, fishing, can all be arranged locally. Deeper into the Brecon Beacons rock climbing, abseiling and caving can be arranged.
Other ideas:- Quad-biking, clay pigeon shooting, golfing, or you can go down a Welsh coal mine, or explore the bookshops of Hay-on-Wye.
