About Dan yr Eglwys

Dan yr Eglwys is a lodge-style converted barn set in glorious countryside just outside Builth Wells in Mid Wales. Dating back to 1784 with original beams still visible throughout, this four-bedroom property sleeps up to 10 guests and sits above the small river Nantgwyn. Solar panels and an air source heat pump make it an eco-conscious choice too.

The enclosed garden catches sun for most of the day and backs onto woodland with the sound of the river running below. Free fishing access on the River Duhonw, a Wye tributary, is included with your stay. Builth Wells town is close by for shops and restaurants.

Accommodation includes four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Bedroom 1 is on the ground floor with a double bed. The master bedroom upstairs has views across Garth Hill with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Bedroom 3 has a double bed and ensuite. Bedroom 4 has two singles. Full disabled access is available on the ground floor including a wet room.

Nearby: Brecon Beacons National Park (8 miles / 20 mins), Rhayader (12 miles / 20 mins), Elan Valley (15 miles / 25 mins) and Hay-on-Wye (16 miles / 30 mins).
