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.

We stayed in the cottage. We were greeted by the owners, and were made to feel genuinely welcome. This apartment was very comfortable and very well equipped. To my surprise the WiFi was excellent. (Considering the location is in the Brecon Beacons.) The weather was really good, but even if it was pouring with rain, it would be a great place to be. We were given a little welcome package of home grown produce, which was a kind gesture. Nothing was too much trouble for Susie and Noel and I would recommend this place for anyone wanting to get away from it all.

Graham, Swindon

Priory Mill Granary was a fantastic and comfortable cottage, convenient to Brecon and the surrounding area. The hosts were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable, and had the information to help us find unexpected attractions. From Brecon Cathedral to the Libanus Centre, both great for walks and food. The local rivers are great for fishing and walks. The cottage was spacious with all the necessary facilities, including wifi. There were plenty of books and material about local attractions, and the story of the restoration well worth a read. We couldn't help enjoy ourselves.

Priory Mill is a really great base for exploring Brecon, the Brecon Beacons and the wider South Wales area, easy journeys in all directions. The property itself is situated in a fascinating group of historic buildings in a secluded location on the outskirts of Brecon. It was comfortable, well equipped and beautifully looked after. We were made to feel welcome and very much at home during our visit. This was actually our second visit to Priory Mill, and it won’t be long before we return for a third visit! Great place for a holiday!

Deborah, Heathfield, East Sussex

We had a most amazing stay at priory cottage, everyone was warm and friendly even the chickens. We were on our motorcycle and it was a brilliant base for us. Town was close by walking distance for all our needs. Plenty of shops and takeaways but the cottage was well equipped for all cooking including the essentials. Very informative hosts Noel and Susie nothing was too much trouble. Plus when we arrived we were welcomed with a friendly smile and on entering the cottage found a bottle of red, Welsh tea cakes and a vase of flowers which smelt amazing. Would recommend to anyone.

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.
