You are welcomed into the barn through the large porch with plenty of space for wet coats and boots, and somewhere to sit while you prise them off.

Tucked away in a woody hollow, recently converted Esgair Barn (dog friendly) is the perfect place for a refreshing break in unspoilt Carmarthenshire. Close to Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), there is plenty of space here for outdoor time and fresh air whether or not attractions are open. Whether you’re planning an energising itinerary of hiking or biking or just want to get away from it all you’ll be happy here. Fans of trees, hills, rivers, beaches, castles and wool won't be disappointed. Our house is opposite the barn, across a courtyard. We live here with our alpaca. We’re happy to chat and offer advice from a safe distance, but if you prefer to be left to your own devices that’s fine too. We love exploring the area and can provide recommendations for places to visit and good places to get takeaway locally. The barn is in the middle of our land, which you are welcome to explore and picnic in. There is a little-used footpath right outside the barn and spectacular views of the Brecon Beacons from the top field. There are trees to climb and a shallow stream (behind a gate). There’s a bonfire area in one field if you get the urge to toast marshmallows, and we can supply suitable wood. Please note that the barn is recently finished and we’re still perfecting the landscaping! It gets really dark at night, and if it’s clear you can see the Milky Way. We have a pet alpaca whose bedroom is close to the barn. He is sociable and curious but please note that he can be a bit nibbly and he’s not totally keen on men. Please don't feed him and treat him carefully and with respect and ask if you would like to be introduced. Also, we do sometimes host sheep from a neighbouring farm, so it’s really important to close gates behind you and keep your dog on a lead when outside the barn.
