Priced for 4, sleeps 6. Brecon Beacons contemporary barn near Hay-on-Wye and Abergavenny. Secluded, but not far from pubs, restaurants and shops. Great for a family holiday at Offa's Dyke.
Tŷ'r Olchon lies in one of the most beautiful rural locations in the UK, enjoying marvellous views of Offa's Dyke and Red Daren from the doorstep. The house was converted from an 18th-century barn into a spacious home, combining original oak beamed character with a comfortable, contemporary living style.
The house provides spacious accommodation for up to 6 guests. If you would like to book for up to 12 people you can book the estate, but note the annexes are never let independently if this main house is booked. Please see the Tŷ'r Olchon Estate listing here for more details.
Tŷ'r Olchon is perfect for walkers - you have direct access to a network of public footpaths that lead to Black Hill, the Offa's Dyke footpath, and Hay Bluff.
The house provides both privacy and tranquillity, yet are only 5 minutes drive from the nearest village, with shop, pub and post office.
