Situated on an 250 acre Welsh farm on the Sugar Loaf mountain in the picturesque Brecon Beacons National Park. It is perfectly located for exploring the Brecon Beacons or relaxing in the beautiful countryside with scenic views of the Skirrid and the Bryn Arw.

Close by to Abergavenny town centre, only a 10 minute drive away and the lovely Crickhowell is 20 minutes in the opposite direction. The Crown at Pantygelli, which has recently been recognised as one of the top 50 pubs to visit in Wales and serves great seasonal food, is only a few minute drive away.

There is a lot to do, from walking, historical sites, a vineyard, activity centres and more places to eat and drink that you could possibly try during your stay.

  
Check in / out

Check-in is 4pm. If you are arriving early, have a look at our Things To Do page. We've listed lots of things you can do around the area while you’re waiting to check in. 
Check-out is 10am.

Children & Pets

If you are travelling with little ones, we have lots of extras such as high chairs, cutlery and plate sets, a bottom stair gate and a travel cot, to save you bringing them from home. There is plenty of things to do with kids near by and we are happy to provide recommendations.

Two well behaved dogs are allowed and there is a large outside dog kennel that you can use if you wish.

Entertainment

On a rainy day, there’s plenty to keep you occupied indoors. Enjoy the Smart TV in the living room, or dive into the board games stored in the blanket box. You can also use the PlayStation to play DVDs or games. Head outside for some relaxation in the hut tub and remember to stargaze at night, around the fire pit. 

WALKS ON YOUR DOORSTEP

The farm covers 250 acres, and you’re more than welcome to wander around. Have a stroll through the sheep fields, follow the little stream, and head up into the woodlands whenever you fancy. It’s a great way to soak up the fresh air and enjoy the countryside right outside your door.

Step right onto the mountain. You’re already 500 meters up the mountain here, so you’ve got a great head start. Just head out your back door, take a quick walk up to the shepherd huts on the farm, and you’ll find a gate that leads onto the Sugar Loaf national footpath. From there, it’s just a nice walk up with incredible views all the way.

  • “Absolutely beautiful location and house, it was so incredibly quiet you could here a pin drop and the geothermal heating was amazing, it was the perfect location to celebrate my 50th birthday with my girlfriends, we spent half out time in the hot tub and even had chance to walk up Sugar Loaf Mountain in the glorious sunshine, even though it was a crisp cool January weekend it didn't damper out spirits or ability to eat, drink and chat until the wee hours, putting the world to rights, good for our soul and our hearts, I will definitely be bringing the family here in the future.”

    - Laura

  • “We had a wonderful winter retreat stay at the Sugar Loaf Barn.  A beautiful setting with stunning views and the barn was spacious and cosy at the same time.  During our stay we enjoyed star gazing from the hot-tub, dinner in the local pub (the Crown), exploring Abergavenny and walking the Sugar Loaf.  Recommend the Angel for lunch, it was really lovely.  The barn itself was well equiped, very cosy and warm and we were made to feel very welcome.  Thanks Sheri for all the recommendations on where to visit in the area.  We'd love to come back.”

    - Helen

  • “We were travelling as a group of 8 adults, 2 babies and 2 dogs, therefore we had a fair few questions before our stay. Sheri was extremely helpful and answered all questions very quickly. The barn itself is absolutely gorgeous and extremely well kitted out with all the added extras you could possibly need including baby cutlery and plates, a baby gate and a high chair. The views are stunning, walks are beautiful and the local pub did the best roast we have ever eaten. Whether you want to sit in a hot tub with a glass of wine or walk up Sugar Loaf, this air bnb is perfect for adults, babies and dogs and we would love to come back.”

    - Sofi

  • “Amazing location with stunning 360 views and a lovely hike up Sugar Loaf Mountain right in your doorstep. Hot tub was a great place to soak up the views after the hike! Comfy beds, great bath and lovely toiletries. Everything we needed in the kitchen to feel like a home from home and our baby liked the travel cot too!”

    - Richard

  • “Absolutely beautiful place to stay with amazing land if your taking the dog. The hot tub was such an added bonus and lovely welcome gifts for your arrival. Would definitely recommend.

Guest Review:

“We had a fabulous stay at Sugar Loaf Barn. It is so peaceful and the surroundings and view are beautiful. We loved seeing all of the animals on the farm and Sheri and her family were so friendly and accommodating. The house is gorgeous and we were lucky enough to have nice weather to enjoy the hot tub and fire pit in the evening. We would love to come for a return visit, thank you!”

Guest Review:

“We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sugarloaf Barn - the location and views are stunning, the barn is spacious and full of character, and our hosts were so friendly and accommodating. There was loads of space for us all, the hot tub was super relaxing, and our dog had the best time running around the garden and spotting the sheep across the fields! We would love to come back one day and recommend the barn to anyone wanting a comfortable and peaceful escape.”
