About this cottage rental
After a busy day exploring the Brecon Beacons or Cambrian Mountains, relax and gaze at the stars.. 10 steps to entrance.
All on the First Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: 32" Freeview TV, DVD Player, Electric Fire
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed

Welcome pack.. Lawned courtyard. 2-acre natural, woodland grounds (shared with owner and other property on site). Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: Couples and family bookings only. There is an unfenced stream and pond, 20 yards away, and steps and sloping banks in the grounds.. Upper Mill Barn is nestled deep within the beautiful Carmarthenshire countryside and set around the owners 17th-century farmhouse and working arable and sheep farm. Situated amongst rich pastureland and woodlands ripe to be explored, the property enjoys commanding views down across the valley towards the Deer Park, where you can spot deer meandering through the woodland. As you approach down the private meandering track through some beautiful countryside, you will set your eyes on this characterful cottage set in a stunning picture postcard valley. Upper Mill Barn is one of two attached holiday cottages and has been thoughtfully presented throughout. Offering accommodation over the first floor, the property has beamed vaulted ceilings and an open plan living space offering beautiful views.
Wildlife really is in abundance here, with buzzards, herons, foxes and even a barn owl if you are lucky. Within walking distance is the hamlet of White Mill, where you can enjoy some home cooked food and a selection of locally brewed ales at the local pub. Locally, Brechfa Forest, famous for its vast array of outdoor activities, is on your doorstep, and expands to 18,000 acres of ancient and managed forestry on the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. South are the Cambrian Mountains, which provide walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders with beautifully scenic routes to explore. Brechfa Forest is becoming widely respected in mountain biking circles, with three trails all designed by Rowan Sorrell.
You may want to explore the longest beach in Wales, the famous 7-mile long Cefn Sidan, along with the hugely popular Pembrey Country Park which makes for a great day out for all the family. Locally, the National Botanic Garden of Wales and Aberglasney Gardens are not to be missed, and are just a short drive away. Beach 13 miles. Shop 1½ miles, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
Upper Mill Barn can be booked together with Lower Mill Barn (ref UK6613) to accommodate up to 8 guests.

A lovely place to stay - rural but still within 10 minutes of shops and restaurants etc. The hot tub was great!Clean and tidy. It had all that we needed. Hosts on site and there if we needed anything.

It's a place to hide away from the world. Kitchen a bit difficult to work within for a family of four (not much space, small pans, just one lid, no washing up brush/sponge - that sort of thing), and single-glazed windows make it steam up overnight, but other than that it's been lovely. Teens had lots of fun in the hot tub; grown-ups enjoyed the view over the fields, hills and deer in the distance and the beams in the open-plan kitchen/sitting room. For us, it just did the trick to take us far away from our everyday life - thanks!

Booked the accommodation for 2 nights to visit my husband who was in Carmarthen hospital awaiting an operation. Tried to ring the hosts twice to let them know what time my daughter and myself would arrive and only got voicemail. Tried to ring them again the following morning as the shower wasn’t working properly. Tried 3 to 4 times and no answer so left a voicemail. Leaving the following morning still no sign of them. Location ideal for us visiting the hospital. The view from the property is beautiful but because of bad weather, heavy rainfall, the single glazed windows steamed up and stayed that way the whole weekend so wouldn’t see the view anyway. The double bed was very comfortable and felt really snuggly. On entering the property it does have a smell of dampness and the floors in the hallway and toilet are spongy. The hosts did leave wine, milk and biscuits which is always a nice touch when you first arrive. We didn’t use the hot tub but it wasn’t clear if it was completely private to our property or shared with the other holiday properties which I was inclined to think it was because it stated only 40 minute sessions so I wouldn’t use it if it is shared. All in all it was ideal for our circumstances at the time but I would have been disappointed if we were actually holidaying there. It’s a shame we didn’t see the hosts as I could have discussed any problems with them
