Accommodation

Y Beudy (‘the cowshed’) is a spacious yet cosy barn conversion with its own private garden. It’s the perfect place ‘off the beaten track’ to enjoy a relaxing retreat.

Downstairs there is an open plan kitchen, dining table and sitting area with floor to ceiling windows and patio doors out into the private garden. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the usual appliances, including a dishwasher and washer-dryer.

Upstairs there’s a separate lounge with comfy sofas and smart TV, DVD player and sound bar. We also have a selection of books, DVDs and family board games available for you to enjoy during your stay.
The large master bedroom has a super-king bed and ensuite shower room. The second bedroom has twin beds (2'6").
The family bathroom has a bath with shower.

Outside there’s a private and secluded south-facing garden on the banks of the Afon Ceidiog, with countryside views of the surrounding farmland and forestry. There’s a patio area for outdoor dining and a barbecue available to use.

Y Beudy is part of a large barn that was originally also a mill, with the old water wheel and shaft featuring in the garden.

Previous guests have enjoyed the tranquility and being surrounded by nature, as well as paddling in the river next to Y Beudy. The nesting swallows and house martins are welcome visitors each spring / summer, and from the garden buzzards and red kites can often be seen in the distance.

The dark skies of the Pennant valley offer fantastic stargazing opportunities and some guests have been lucky enough to have spectacular views of the northern lights.

Guests are welcome to bring one well-behaved dog (£25 per stay) - please see ‘house rules’ below for additional information.

We can offer storage for bikes, kayaks or paddleboards, as well as a hose pipe for washing down kit after a day in the mountains or out on the water (as long as we've had sufficient rain!). There is also space to hang kit to dry.

From April 2026, we have EV charging (7kw) facilities available for guest use - additional fee applicable, and guests will need to bring their own cable. Please get in touch ahead of your stay for further information if you would like to make use of the charger(s).

Other things to note:

Although Llandrillo is not far from the key transport links including the A5, Y Beudy certainly feels secluded as it’s located towards the head of the Pennant valley, just under 3 miles from the village.

The final ~200m to reach the property from the valley road is a bumpy farm track - please bear this in mind when booking (low profile sports cars are not recommended!).

Only mobiles on O2 and EE (and those using those networks e.g. GiffGaff) will have signal at the property, and generally only outdoors. Signal improves considerably across networks if you take a hike up into the mountains!
However, WiFi is available throughout the property - so if you want to stay connected whilst away you’ll be able to make voice or video calls via WiFi calling or apps such as FaceTime.

Y Beudy is not suitable for most guests with accessibility requirements due to the location and the age and layout of the property. There are steps both within and outside of the property. More information and full Access Statement can be provided on request - please contact us via the Enquiries page or email rhydgethinbarn@gmail.com.

As the barn is next to a river, and there are open stairs in the property, children will require supervision at all times. 

House rules:

Maximum of 4 guests plus an infant (under 2).

Guests must take care to close all gates due to livestock in surrounding fields.

Children (under 16s) - we welcome families to Y Beudy, but children should be supervised at all times and not left on their own in the property without an adult present.

One well-behaved dog allowed - additional charge of £25 per stay. We ask that guests keep their four-legged friend off all furniture, and they should not be left unattended in the property. Owners are responsible for removing all dog poop from the garden before vacating. Please ensure you bring your own dog towels for muddy paws and poop bags etc.

Towels - we provide two tea towels in the kitchen. A bath / shower mat is provided in each bathroom. One large bath towel and a small hand towel is provided per guest. These should not be removed from the property; guests must bring their own towels for seaside / lake adventures.

Washing machine - to be used for human laundry only (not for dog towels etc).
