Brynhir Farm Reviews

Louisa
We had a wonderful weeks stay for Christmas. When we arrived we were greeted my Mrs Nixon and shown around our beautiful accommodation. The barn had Christmas decorations and a lovely Christmas tree. This has been the best self catering accommodation we have stayed in. Its big and beautifully appointed. The hot tub was most welcome even in the storm. The sheep and the red kites were a delight to see. I would highly recommend this property.
What can I say! What a beautiful property and surrounding area
Yuk-fung
The location was amazing and so peaceful. It was absolutely spotless the bonus was having the hot tub under cover. Mrs Nixon was such a fab host and even baked us a cake on our arrival it was absolutely delicious. We had everything we needed in the house. Loved the rooms especially having a bathroom each the boys loved that. The only problem I found was the beds I found them not being comfortable maybe its me I dont know. Otherwise everything is spot on. Definitely come back and recommend to friends and family. Highly enjoyed our stay.
Christine
Brynhir Farm was a wonderful peaceful place and Mrs Nixon is hospitality itself Would definitely go back again
Amanda
Well what a find absolutely wonderful on our arrival we had a 2 red kites looping the farm which we loved Mrs Nixon showed us around the accommodation and all she would of heard was WOW WOW WOW It's absolutely stunning we loved sitting on the balcony watching the sheep & cows & the local Kites which sit in the trees very close to the barn , we enjoyed the hot tub and walked up to the top of the hill to see the views over Powys, while we were there we went to the local Elan Valley Dams and also a kite feeding station. We visited Aberdovey & Aberystwyth and Buith Wells Llandrindod wells we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the barn 1010
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brynhir Farm! Rooms The barn and the rooms inside it were lovely and spacious, and it had a nice homey feel. We liked that both bedrooms had their own ensuites and TVs. Cleanliness Brynhir farm was spotlessly clean when we arrived. AmenitiesFacilities All of the facilities in the kitchen, bathroom and lounge areas worked perfectly and were high quality. We had everything we needed during our stay enough cutlerycrockery, seating, towels etc. We also made use of the hot tub on several occasions during our stay which was very relaxing and was preheated upon our arrival so we could use it straight away. Distance from attractions Brynhir Farm is a little bit of a drive away from some attractions however we loved being out in the country and still managed to visit Llandrindod Wells which is one of the closest towns to the barn and has a lovely lake to visit, the Small Breeds Animal Farm, Aberystwyth, and Elan Valley. Property owner Mrs. Nixon made us feel so welcome and at home in the barn during our stay! She showed us around when we arrived and was so friendly. Other One of our favourite parts of staying at Brynhir Farm was being able to sit out on the balcony and watch the Red Kites flying over in the mornings. There were even binoculars provided to make this even better for us! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Brynhir Farm and wed definitely recommend it to anyone who was visiting midWales and wed love to come back if we visit again.
Robert
We had a lovely stay. The barn was immaculate, everything was superb quality especially the frying pans ! The hot tub was a god send and lovely any weather. We loved sitting on balcony watching the kites fly and sit in trees nearby. It was a brilliant relaxing stay and we will definitely return x x x
Lovely hosts and delicious cake The property is in an excellent location all the way at the end of the lane. Loved seeing all the cows and sheep in the fields around us. The property really is as spacious as it looks a really comfortable stay. Would definitely stay again if looking to holiday in the area again.
Patricia
WOW! this is by far our best Sykes experience. 1010. Mrs Nixon is a lovely lady who has put much thought into making this delightful property a clean and peaceful haven, she has thought of everything except the weather! In spite of a rainy week, we walked miles around dams and reservoirs without getting wet and returned to the wonderful views back at Brynhir, Kites, cattle, calves and sheep and the working dogs which are a joy to watch, free entertainment from the balcony. We cannot recommend highly enough. Fabulous.
A beautifully secluded location but not too far away from Llandrindod Wells if you need to find a supermarket. The accommodation is well designed and, for nature lovers, the views from the balcony are spectacular. Red kites regularly making an appearance overhead. The hosts are very welcoming but totally unobtrusive. And, if you want to watch a nature spectacular, book to see the red kite feeding near Rhayader. A very relaxing break. Many thanks to the Nixons.
This is a fabulous property. Huge! Very comfortable, warm in a peaceful location. Only my wife and I stayed, but the property is eminently suitable for two couples each bedroom is ensuite, plenty of chairs etc. to ensure total comfort. Mrs. Nixon is the perfect host cannot fault Brynhir. If it's a peaceful rural location you're after look no further! Even red kites en site!

A very well equipped and comfortable place to stay ,owner is very helpful and friendly , location is perfect

STOP SCROLLING If you come across this property then BOOK IT! You wont be disappointed. It has everything you could wish for. A lovely home from home. The bedrooms are massive, the bathroom has both a bath and separate shower. The beds are comfortable, and the the hot tub is just brilliant, after a day of walking. The owners are lovely, and the homemade cakes were divine!
The property is a beautiful and relaxing place. Mrs Nixon, the owner, was friendly, informative and very helpful when required. Other than normal farmyard sounds it is very peaceful and quiet. The hot tub was excellent and well maintained. In spite of the time of year, because of where and how its situated, we could use it every day. Would highly recommend.
The property was beautiful and the hot tub was lovely. The owners are great and go out of their way to make your stay perfect, I would love to go back again in the future .
Bryan Grant
Brynhir Farm was fabulously appointed throughout! With temperatures outside in the region of minus 10, the property was luxuriously warm from the time you enter .The furniture was so comfortable including the beds. The Ensuite bathrooms were superlative . The Hot Tub bubbled away which was excellent in the frosty night air. A lovely host Mrs Nixon . You will not find a finer family gataway destination than this property. FIRST CLASS
Mrs Nixon was very warm and welcoming on arrival. The accommodation was perfect, Mrs Nixon has thought of everything and even had fresh flowers when we arrived. The space is large, warm and very comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful. We even enjoyed the hot tub even though the weather was cold. I will definitely come back and would recommend staying here.
Nicola
This is one of the best cottages we have stayed in .
The property, Brynhir Farm, was exactly as described on Sykes website. and in reality better than we imagined. The bedrooms were very spacious, clean and bright. Upstairs the open plan kitchen, dining and living room area was huge, giving good family space, but together. The views were wonderful, & outside seating allowed us to watch red kites sitting in the trees. The Hot tub......lovely! Brynhir Farm is within walking distance of LLandriddod Wells, about 40 mins across fields, but a great way to enjoy local life without using the car! Although we didnt use it, the station in LLandriddod Wells allows further opportunities to see this lovely part of Wales and the border areas....that's for next time! Many thanks to our lovely hosts.
Lovely place to stay, we'll equipped, spacious and comfortable. Having the hot tub under cover is a brilliant idea especially in Wales although it did only rain on us once.
Excellent property, very clean, comfortable and spacious lovely location.
Christopher
Absolutely lovely place! Beautiful and peaceful setting, fantastic accommodation very comfortable, cosy and homely. Loves seeing the comes and sheep from the balcony and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub after a long day! Super nice owners too. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future. Thank you
Really lovely stay, thank you for helping make our important family holiday. Superb accomodation in beautiful surroundings with wildlife on the doorstep. Extremely well equipped kitchen, supplied games, comfortable beds, great bathrooms, even the washing machine proved useful.
Andrew
High quality, clean and well maintained property in a great location to experience the best of mid Wales. Will be looking to return. Thank you to the host for a lovely week
A beautiful hide away farmhouse holiday home Perfect for couples Furnished ... A beautiful hide away farmhouse holiday home Perfect for couples Furnished very well throughout Marvellous if you want to see and feed Red Kites This is the best ever accommodation weve had ever
The cottage was even better than expected ,so well equipped with first rate fixtures and fittings. We were made welcome from the start even though the farm was busy the greeting was warm and friendly. Lots of wildlife and such to see and plenty to do in the surrounding area. If you want to wind down and recharge your batteries then this is the place to do just that. Lovely stay thanks a million. Mary and Frank
Sandra
Very peaceful relaxing stay, hot tub great and property clean and very spacious, lovely watching sheep & lambs each day also the red kites soaring by. Lovely surprise bottle of Prosecco for our joint birthday celebrations, excellent overall would recommend.
An exceptional property in a beautiful and tranquil location. We are already planning our next stay here at some point in the future and we have definitely recommended to our friends and family. Thankyou so much!
What a fantastic haven to relax with top class hospitality! Ideal location that feels away from the world but a stones throw away from all the amenities you need. The barn was very clean, comfortable and very warm for our February visit. Well equipped kitchen and the hot tub was covered so it can be used in all weather. Nothing we could say would describe the amazing views we woke to every day. We will be returning guests
Our stay at Brynhir Farm was great, the owners are very welcoming and friendly. The property is lovely and quiet and perfect for a break in beautiful surroundings.
Catherine
We had a great time in this beautiful barn. Then property is very well equipped ,the owners have really thought of everything you will need. My teenage daughter and her friend had a great time in the hot tub . We would definitely go back again rural Wales at its best .
We have really enjoyed our time in this place. The owners were really hepful and they had everything ready when we arrived. The barn is really nice, everything was clean and you have everything you need to spend a few days there.
Fantastic property and ideal location to get away from it all. Had a fabulous week.
A great find if you are looking for a tranquil getaway. Spacious accommodation in a quiet setting on a working farm but not too busy. A private hot tub is definitely a big plus if you are planning a walking holiday Nearest town has a big Tesco to stock up on supplies we did not eat out so I cannot comment on local pubsrestaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider coming back.
My friend and I stayed at Brynhir Farm for a week. We could not fault the friendly welcome we had the accommodation met all our needs and the setting was perfect. A lovely, relaxing holiday. Thank you.
Paul James
Very pleasant and spacious accommodation on a working farm near Howey, Llandrindod Wells. Good for exploring the surrounding area and Elan Valley.
Fabulous accommodation, very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was so relaxing, peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the wildlife, especially the regular visit from the red kite. Lovely friendly welcome from the owner and there if we needed anything. Added bonus of the hot tub especially after a day out walking. It was a good 2 mile walk into the village, up and down the hills, but the views were worth it. Would definitely recommend this property.
Samantha
All had a fantastic time would definitely recommend
