“The owners went out of their way to make our stay totally unforgettable.”

It was my wife's birthday on the day we arrived and the owners had left a beautiful bouquet of flowers and bottle of wine along with a birthday card for her. We decided to have a stroll down to the 'local pub' (highly recommended) and Banty even offered to give us a lift back later in the day. We highly recommend staying here and we will certainly be back. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

“If you're considering booking this cabin, do it!”

The cabin is gorgeous and the location is amazing! The real difference with Ystrad Wen is the attention to detail. Rachel hasn't overlooked anything when presenting this beautiful holiday cabin. Welcome basket on arrival for us and the dogs was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Won't go in to too much detail regarding the extra touches as to not spoil the delightful of realising how much careful thought went in to it. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants the perfect relaxing break. I would also suggest to anyone who does book to consider a day out around Elan Valley, stunning views of the dams and then lunch in Rhayader.

“Had a lovely stay in the cabin and in the Welsh countryside.”

Myself and my other half were impressed with everything. The bed was comfortable. The hot tub was the one of the best we’ve used. Lovely walking area. Would stay here again.

Michael September 2024

“Ystrad Wen is probably the best holiday property that we have rented and despite the inclement weather we had a very enjoyable stay.”

The cabin (a description that understates the level of accommodation) was of the highest standard with everything thoughtfully provided. The location afforded the most fantastic views and the comfort and cleanliness of the property means that we look forward to returning.

“We spent an incredible week at Ystrad Wen and we couldn't been happier with our stay!”

The cabin is simply gorgeous: spacious, stylish and full of thoughtful touches. It truly felt like a home away from home. Rachel and Bunty were extremely friendly and helpful and we loved the little welcome hamper they left us. One of the highlights was definitely the hot tub overlooking the stunning Welsh countryside – a perfect spot to relax after a day of walking and exploring. Our dog had the best time too and was really disappointed to go back to London! We can’t recommend this place enough and can’t wait to return!

“The perfect getaway when you need to unwind.”

A fantastic property with everything you need and more, including a lovely hamper with delicious homemade jam and brownies! There is nothing that the hasn’t been thought about. The best thing has to be the hot tub overlooking the Welsh countryside; the view was breathtaking. The owners were super helpful, friendly and extremely respectful of our privacy. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Kriss August 2024

“Had a wonderful stay at Ystrad Wen.”

There was a lovely welcome basket upon arriving, both for us and the dog. The cabin was really nicely kept and very clean throughout. There was also a welcome folder full of information regarding the property and local area, including places to eat and activities near by etc. It was very secluded and private with gorgeous views. Rachel and Banty were easy to get in touch with for anything we needed. We would definitely return! Thank you both for the great stay/getaway!

“We have loved our stay at Ystrad Wen!”

Everything from the luxurious cabin and hot tub to the wonderful views and hill walks has made for a peaceful and relaxing week away. Thank you so much to Rachel and Banty for all the extra touches and attention to detail, you have created something very special here! For days out, we recommend the Elan Valley for walks and scenery, as well as the amazing spectacle of the Red Kite feeding. We really hope to visit again in the future!

Ken June 2024

“An exceptional property in a spectacular location, with high specification and quality throughout.”

Amazing views from property and hot tub alongside abundance of wildlife ensures that you spend many hours watching, listening and enjoying the tranquility of nature. Look out for the hares, red kites and numerous birds. Fascinating to watch the sheep's routines and can set your clock by them! The owners provide the best welcome pack we have ever seen and tasted! Chocolate brownies were delicious. They make sure your stay is enjoyable and we really appreciated their advice on walks, places to visit and the history of their farm. Made a 60th birthday holiday very special with lasting memories. Dogs really enjoyed the garden and ability to walk around the local area safely.

- Ken, June 2024

Thank you so much to both of you for your review; we really have been blown away by the reactions we’ve had from our guests. Looking forward to welcoming you back with your family later in the year. Property Owner
Colin May 2024

“We had a 4 night stay at Ystrad Wen in June and we absolutely loved it.”

The cabin was spotless, and everything we needed was there. Our welcome hamper had some lovely treats (the homemade brownies fab!) and was one of may really nice touches, like the binoculars, the sketch pad and pencils and the fresh flowers. The Cabin is 1 of 2 set in a lovely meadow field which magnificent views, and even with the open views it felt very private. The hot tub was perfect too, fresh crystal clear water when we arrived, you can tell it is changed between guests, which is appreciated. The view from the tub is awesome too. It was great getting a text on the morning we were due to arrive to welcome us and let us know what time the cabin would be ready, and some tips on directions too, so we managed to get there early with no wrong turns. If you are considering Ystrad Wen, I would encourage you to book it! We are hoping to be able to return sometime soon.

- Colin, May 2024

Thank you Colin for your review! We are working hard to ensure our guests stay is as perfect as possible so reading reviews like yours makes it all worthwhile Property Owner
Michelle May 2024

“Ystrad Wen Review We recently visited Ystrad Wen with my husband and our two dogs, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience.”

The dogs loved it, and the beautiful scenery provided amazing views and the soothing sounds of nature. The bath and shower facilities were outstanding—so clean and well-maintained, also the hot tub was a great delight after long walks ,it was impressive. I accidentally left a personal item behind, and the kind staff promptly posted it back to me upon request, which I really appreciated. The area is stunning and secluded, making it a very romantic getaway. We fully enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. We were even treated to a surprise bottle of wine for my husband’s birthday from the owners ☺️ We will definitely be back and would recommend this cabin to anyone wanting a complete escape from the norm. Thanks for such a memorable time away xx

- Michelle, May 2024

Thank you Michelle for such a lovely review. It’s so good to know how much you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back soon Property Owner
Jonathan May 2024

“Absolutely loved our first time in Wales and the main part was how beautiful the cottage was it was everything we wanted and the views were amazing the hot tub was an amazing touch.”

The owners made sure we arrived safely and if we needed anything else which was really kind however the way the Cottage was set up nothing else was needed. If I could put more stars I would however they only ask out of 5*. Will definatly planning on coming back to this property!! Definitely suggest the Red kite feeding as was spectacular site to see.

- Jonathan, May 2024

Thank you so much both of you for your fabulous review. We are so glad you had a wonderful time, hopefully see you again soon x Property Owner
Abbiegail April 2024

“We had the most relaxing long weekend here.”

The views are beautiful, we loved everything about the cabin. All the little touches made it even better, the owners had even thought of the dog! Our dog loved staying here and watching the sheep across the hillside. I'd recommend waking up early and watching the sunrise over the hillside in front of the cabin. 5 Stars! Hoping to book in another weekend soon!

- Abbiegail, April 2024

Thank you Abbiegail for your lovely review, looking forward to seeing you at the cabin again soon xx Property Owner
Mike April 2024

“WOW, loved it, loved it, loved it!”

It exceeded our expectations! Stunning all round views, all you can hear is birds singing and little lambs bouncing about calling their mums , It really is very peaceful and quiet, we loved the accommodation, it was spotless and furnished to a high standard, it is huge for two people, the bed and the bedroom were the biggest we have ever stayed in, and the stand alone bath with the breath taking views was just stunning and so relaxing. The hot tub was just what we needed and big for just two people! And again the views, wow! We really appreciated the treats in the welcome basket. It was so perfect for our romantic getaway, we are so definitely going back! ❤️ Many thanks to the owners Banty, Rachel and family x

The property

Ystrad Wen is new to Sykes for summer 2024 and is a beautifully presented holiday cabin perched in the heart of the stunning Welsh countryside, outside of the quaint village of Newbridge-On-Wye in Powys.

Surrounded by standout views of the countryside and positioned away from the noisy roads and towns, Ystrad Wen is the one to pick for a memorable retreat.

When you arrive, you will feel instantly at home, with the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area which is full of everything you could need from a well-equipped kitchen, sophisticated dining seating and a sitting area with a Smart TV so you can keep up on all your shows while you are away.

Decide between dining indoors or choosing to dine al fresco under the stars, a perfect choice for a romantic meal for two.

After spending the evening soaking in the warmth of the hot tub and gazing at the stars, make your way back inside and freshen up with either a hot shower or steaming bath in the freestanding bath in the bedroom, then put on your comfiest pyjamas and cuddle up on the sofa to watch your favourite movie on the Smart TV.

Ystrad Wen lies in the heart of some of the most unspoilt scenery in Wales, you are surrounded by traditional hay meadows and areas of woodland, parkland and wet pasture leading down to the banks of the River Wye.

The Cambrian Mountains are the undiscovered heart of Wales, an area of outstanding natural beauty which offers wild empty spaces, from woodland walks to the more challenging routes that take you into the vast moorlands, one of the least visited spots in Wales you can feel that you have the place to yourself.

For star gazers you must visit the Elan Valley Estate, an International Dark Sky Park, made up of 6 Dark Sky Discovery Sites and the perfect place to see the night skies at their best.

Ystrad Wen is the perfect place to escape to.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1128627, sleeping up to 6 guests.
