The Experience

Up the outside steps to this open-plan conversion that’s very homely and cosy. Two comfy chairs either side of the wood-burner and plenty of books and DVDs will keep you busy even if the weather is doing its worst. On sunny days leave the door open and let nature in, or cross the cobbled yard to the river where you can fish for brown trout (just ask), paddle or lie on a flat stone to cool off. You’re surrounded by ancient woodland so it’s very peaceful.

The kitchen has everything you need for holiday cooking and Susie leaves you all the basics plus eggs from her hens (who may come and visit), Welsh cakes, jam and a bottle of wine. There are always fresh flowers on the table too.

You can walk into Brecon (half way by field) in ten minutes for the theatre, cinema, shops and eateries. Nearby The Three Horseshoes Inn at Groesffordd serves modern British food in much style and The Felin Fach Griffin is a ten-minute drive. Walk, cycle, climb in the Brecon Beacons, head for watery fun on the Usk or the Wye. Return to light the barbecue and watch the stars come out, or light the fire and snuggle in.

Reviews

A very happy little space has been created here by the Gaskells with much to welcome you. I loved the idea of sitting on the bench overlooking the river and trying to spot a kingfisher. You're near to great walking countryside and interesting Hay is a short stroll.
Inspected Nicola Sawday's Inspector
Philippa, Chepstow

Perfect location, incredibly peaceful with just the sound of the rushing river and occasional owl at night! Very cosy, clean, well set up and comfortable space in the Granary, with a toasty gas faux logburner and a deep bath for weary walkers! Excellent, friendly hosts on hand if you need anything (like fresh eggs from the hens!) An ideal base for exploring the Brecon Beacons. Highly recommended.

Priory Mill Farm is a real gem just a short drive outside Brecon. We spent 3 nights here in beautiful, and very unique, historic surroundings among the old granary buildings that Susie and Noel have been lovingly and painstakenly restoring to a working mill. Their hospitality was very generous and it was awe inspiring to see what they have achieved so far. The cottage accomodation was delightful and comfortable. We hope to return to see that water wheel turning!

The Priory Mill cottage is just the loveliest place to stay! Perfectly located alongside the river, a peaceful, gorgeous setting. The cottage itself is wonderful, really well equipped, and beautifully furnished. Susie and Noel are very welcoming hosts and I would highly recommend booking a stay here.

Sandra, East Sussex

Myself and my husband had a wonderful time the cottage it is s beautiful; so many lovely touches making it feel homely and cosy. A warm welcome also by the hosts where communication was very good; both in person and by email. I feel its very good value for money ; its clean and tidy and private too. Clean. 5/5. Communication 5/5. Nothing to fault - a hidden gem as they say - we highly recommend!!!! Thank you both we will be returning again soon. Sandra and David

Location

The neighbourhood

There are benches all around for different views and angles of the sun including one facing the river, just perfect for picnics. The wildlife is prolific: bats, owls, foxes, kingfishers and even otters, so bring your binoculars. There are grand walks and cycle routes – the number 42 route comes through Brecon and you can also join the Taff Trail, or canoe and kayak on both the Usk and Wye. Brecon has three independent butchers and greengrocer, and a jazz festival in August. You're 20 minutes from Hay on Wye for the best Literary Festival and many bookshops.

Local points of interest from Susie Gaskell

  • The Brecon Beacons offer every outdoor activity you could possibly want whilst holidaying, so make sure you bring your walking boots, bicycles and bikinis along with you.
  • For cyclists, the canal offers a lovely long (and level!) track to cycle along in the dappled sunshine, but for those with a taste for the wide open spaces and the hills, we have plenty of those as well.
  • If you feel like more leisurely activities there are cafes, galleries and museums only a ten minute walk away through the woods and in to the Georgian town of Brecon which boast it's own magnificent Cathedral.
  • You can even pop to the local independent cinema or theatre for a bit of culture if there’s something on that takes your fancy
  • And if you’d like to experience something a bit more unusual, how about taking some dinky donkeys out for a walk in the countryside with Gooddayout ... if donkeys aren’t your thing, they have piggies and picnic days out too!
  • But if all that sounds far too energetic, then you can just flop on the grass by our river with a good book and a glass of something lovely... the hens like a bit of that too so they might come and join you...

Introducing

Susie Gaskell

Noel (a furniture maker) and Susie (a silversmith) came here from London and are both now conservation builders. They live in the farmhouse you pass on the way to your granary. You'll also pass their amazing all-consuming project which is to restore a Grade II* Watermill using traditional materials and all on their own. This is incredibly important work as sadly there are very few left that aren't converted into accommodation or derelict. It is also home to rare Lesser Horseshoe Bats. Susie and Noel run a small family campsite on the other side of their house in the summer months.
