Tucked away in a woody hollow, dog friendly Esgair Barn is the perfect place for a refreshing break in unspoilt Carmarthenshire, close to Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons). Recently converted from a barn it’s now a comfortable holiday home.
there’s 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, castles, beaches and wool will not be disappointed.

the living room is a grand double-height room with sofas and a big table and banquette to seat you all in comfort The windows look out over the fields and stream to one side, and a small gravelled private patio on the other.

TV provided but you’ll be too busy watching the birds and squirrels.

we’ve had fun decorating the barn with characterful furniture and décor, and been inspired by all the talented artists and crafts people living locally We’ve included locally produced items where we can.
guest access
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 Bannau Brycheiniog (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 sometimes host sheep from a neighbouring farm, so it’s really important to close gates behind you
interaction with guests
our house is opposite the barn, across a courtyard We live here with our two cats. We’re happy to chat and offer advice at 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 if restaurants and cafes remain closed
