Alltybrain Farmhouse B&B and the self-catering cottages are up a private lane with plenty of secure carparking space.

There is a wonderful view all around of the Welsh hills and whether you visit in the spring, summer autumn or winter there is always some sort of domestic animal and wildlilfe activity happening around the gardens and fields!

Duck Cottage and Damson Cottage are delightful romantic cottages each graded 4* by Visit Wales for two people and are set back off the farmyard at Alltybrain Farm. They retain many old features such as flagged stone floors and thick walls. Both cottages have views from every window.

The Brecon Beacons National Park has been awarded "Dark Skies Status" and on clear nights we have a wonderful constellation above Alltybrain Farm. The Visitors' Centre in our National Park is well worth a visit for information on historic sites, walks, bike & trekking trails. Fishing permits are available from The Wye & Usk Foundation.

The Royal Welsh Show in July, Brecon Jazz in August, The Hay Literary Festival in May & The Brecon Beacons Food Festival in October are great local events.

Again a pleasant stay in Duck cottage

We were in Duck cottage at Alltybrain farm for the second time. The cottage is well equipped with a very large bed with outstanding nature views. All that in a quiet environment with a super friendly owner (Rose). Thanks for the excellent stay again!

Comfortable spacious accommodation in an ideal location for exploring the Brecon Beacons.

Enjoyable, relaxing week's holiday in comfortable spacious accommodation. Ideal spot for exploring the Brecon Beacons. Fantastic views across countryside to the beacons from living room and bedroom windows. South facing private courtyard with picnic bench and countryside views. The working small holding adds to the atmosphere of the location. The well insulated cottage is warmed by central heating and also has a log burner which adds a cosy feeling.
