Beili Helyg Guest House

Beili Helyg is a farm dating from the 18th century, built in the traditional Welsh longhouse style. The stone built barns have been renovated to provide beautifully spacious 4* ensuite guest rooms. From here there are spectacular views in every direction of the open moor and mountainside of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Guest rooms have separate access so you are free to come & go as you wish.

We have 16 acres of woodland and upland meadow crossed by small streams. As guests you are welcome to stroll anywhere in the grounds. You can also pass the time of day with our ducks, chickens and rare breed geese.

We are in the central section of the Brecon Beacons National Park at the head of the Cwm Cadlan valley.

There is excellent walking or cycling from the door, the open access land is 5 minutes walk.

We offer a drop off service for you to walk/navigate back to Beili Helyg, from Pontneddfechan (a waterfall walk); Dolygaer(via Taff Trail); and Neuadd reservoir (over the peaks of Cribyn, Penyfan, and Corn Du).

We have a boot room and drying facilities, secure cycle lock up and can also provide you with a packed lunch and evening meal.

Our home & garden produce is on the menu daily, and other foods are sourced locally with minimal packaging.

What photographs can't show is the fresh mountain air, the absolute peace & quiet, the uninterrupted long views in all directions, and the complete freedom of being so far away from the madding crowd.

The sight of the milky way on a clear night is wonderful as our light pollution is minimal.

Caving, cycling, sailing, canoeing, climbing, bird watching, horse riding and numerous other outdoor activities are available nearby and fishing is available at rivers and reservoirs for coarse, game and wild trout.

For those interested in geology and the landscape this is a rich limestone area with shake holes, swallow holes, waterfalls, limestone pavements, caves and evidence of the Dinas fault.

There are many historic & prehistoric sites; Sarn Helen the roman road from Neath to Brecon, and standing stones Maen Madoc & Maen Llia.

Relaxing and general lethargy are also recommended; imagine sitting with a good read and a drink, with your toes in front of a log fire, or on a warmer day sit out on one of our benches in the woods.
