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
Susan, Hertford

We had a wonderful week. The owners gave us a warm welcome and were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, without being intrusive. The accommodation was well-laid out and cosy with good facilities (it would not be suitable for someone with mobility problems because of the staircase). The farm is set in beautiful surroundings beside a river and ideal for wildlife watching - we were able to go and watch the bats every night. It is an excellent base for walking in the Brecon Beacons but not isolated - it's an easy drive to destinations like Hay-on-Wye and Crickhowell.

What a hidden gem! Priory Mill Granary is simply a magical place. On arriving we received a wonderfully warm welcome from Susie and Noel and the chickens! The cottage is beautiful with great care and thought being obvious in the authentic decor and Noel’s finishing little touches. The setting beside the old restored mill on the river is so peaceful and having your own private garden in which to watch the stars at night is the cherry on the cake. It is a great base to visit all that the Brecon Beacons has to offer and we look forward to a return visit in the near future. Glen and Lesley R.

This a unique place to stay. The hosts are very welcoming and the barn is rustic but delightful. We have stayed twice here, once with the river crashing down but this year was quite low but my husband managed to fly fish most days. We caught the king fisher one day.

Neil, East Grinstead

Been to a few cottages over the years and can say 100% this one beats the lot. In a league of its own. The setting is as idyllic as anyone could want - woodland teeming with wildlife, a stunning mill and farmhouse, the beautiful Honddu streams close by - the peace and comfort just makes for guaranteed relaxation. Susie and Noel have done a remarkable job. Don’t let anyone tell you that bygone artefacts means roughing it. Every detail you could imagine has been lovingly attended to. The cottage has everything you would need for a complete self catering break. Our only regret was leaving!

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.
