Ty Fferm Hen

If you're looking for a holiday base that's quirky, fun, and full of character, Ty Fferm Hen is a perfect choice. This is an old farmhouse set on a working farm in the idyllic village of Talybont-on-Usk, right in the heart of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. It's a truly rustic and cosy retreat for a small family.

As soon as you step inside, you'll be charmed by the authentic farmhouse feel, with its stone stairs and wooden beams. The open-plan living space is wonderfully cosy, with comfy Chesterfield armchairs pulled up in front of a large wood-burning stove – perfect for snuggling up after a day of walking.

The kitchen area has everything you need to prepare a hearty family meal, which you can enjoy together at the dining table. From here, you can step outside onto the patio for a quiet drink, soaking up the peaceful sounds of the surrounding farmland. For a real treat, there's a hot tub housed in an adjoining barn, offering a fantastic way to relax, whatever the weather.

When it's time to head to bed, the character continues as you go upstairs to the large, open family bedroom. With low-beamed ceilings, it's a wonderfully snug space, offering a comfortable double bed and two single beds. The en-suite bathroom is a real highlight, featuring a beautiful roll-top bath for a long, relaxing soak.

Set on a working farm, this is a great spot for animal lovers, and the hosts are known for being incredibly warm and welcoming. While it feels blissfully rural, you're just over a mile from the village of Talybont-on-Usk, which has a shop and several lovely pubs.

The location is a paradise for walkers and cyclists, with the Talybont Reservoir and countless trails right on your doorstep. It's a truly characterful home for a memorable family adventure.
