More ways to experience Ty Newydd Holidays

A closer look at the cottages, shared spaces and thoughtful details at Ty Newydd Holidays.

Ty Newydd Holidays is a peaceful canal-side base in Llanfrynach, around 3.5 miles from Brecon. The 18th-century farmhouse and converted stone outbuildings offer both farmhouse bed and breakfast and four self-catering cottages, with direct access to the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal towpath.

Farmhouse B&B and self-catering cottages

• The farmhouse B&B has four spacious en-suite rooms—three king rooms and one twin—and sleeps up to eight guests.
• The four self-catering cottages range from a studio for two to three-bedroom cottages sleeping six. Together, the cottages accommodate up to 18 guests.
• The three larger cottages are child- and dog-friendly, with travel cots and highchairs available. Dog arrangements vary by cottage, so check the current details before booking.

Walking, cycling and time outdoors

The canal towpath can be reached directly from the property for gentle walks and cycle rides. Mountains, reservoirs, rivers and waterfalls are all within easy reach, while nearby villages offer pubs and places to eat. Guests also have allocated parking, Wi-Fi and access to an EV charging point.

Access and practical information

These are historic rural buildings and their layouts vary. Dragonfly Cottage is arranged on one level but has a step at the entrance and an approach over gravel and cobbles; other cottages and B&B rooms include stairs. Ty Newydd provides a detailed current access statement and virtual tours, and we recommend checking these or speaking with the team before booking if you have particular access requirements.

Why we love it

The combination of flexible accommodation, a quiet courtyard setting and the canal immediately on the doorstep makes Ty Newydd useful for couples, families and groups who want to explore Bannau Brycheiniog at their own pace.
