Ystrad Wen
Description
Ystrad Wen is new to Sykes for summer 2024 and is a beautifully presented holiday cabin perched in the heart of the stunning Welsh countryside, outside of the quaint village of Newbridge-On-Wye in Powys.
Surrounded by standout views of the countryside and positioned away from the noisy roads and towns, Ystrad Wen is the one to pick for a memorable retreat.
When you arrive, you will feel instantly at home, with the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area which is full of everything you could need from a well-equipped kitchen, sophisticated dining seating and a sitting area with a Smart TV so you can keep up on all your shows while you are away.
Decide between dining indoors or choosing to dine al fresco under the stars, a perfect choice for a romantic meal for two.
After spending the evening soaking in the warmth of the hot tub and gazing at the stars, make your way back inside and freshen up with either a hot shower or steaming bath in the freestanding bath in the bedroom, then put on your comfiest pyjamas and cuddle up on the sofa to watch your favourite movie on the Smart TV.
Ystrad Wen lies in the heart of some of the most unspoilt scenery in Wales, you are surrounded by traditional hay meadows and areas of woodland, parkland and wet pasture leading down to the banks of the River Wye.
The Cambrian Mountains are the undiscovered heart of Wales, an area of outstanding natural beauty which offers wild empty spaces, from woodland walks to the more challenging routes that take you into the vast moorlands, one of the least visited spots in Wales you can feel that you have the place to yourself.
For star gazers you must visit the Elan Valley Estate, an International Dark Sky Park, made up of 6 Dark Sky Discovery Sites and the perfect place to see the night skies at their best.
Ystrad Wen is the perfect place to escape to.
Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1128627, sleeping up to 2 guests.

What guests are saying
Truly wonderful relaxing stay.
As other reviewers have said, the photos don't do it justice. Amazing views, we had sunny days and misty days which provided a different kind of wonderful view each day. Our dog can't walk far these days, Banty provided directions to the riverside walk which we drove to and there is a walk up the hill behind the cabin. We were immediately blown away by the facilities and decor of the cabin. But when you look more closely, you start to see even more beautiful items that the owners have clearly thought a lot about. Flowers, ornaments, paintings etc. So much has gone into making it look and feel very special. As for the bed, the photo makes it look smaller but it really is enormous and sumptuous. One of the white towels had some yellow marks on them. I was not even questioning their cleanliness, i just wondered if they had gone on some rust in transit etc. I messaged the owner about it and she explained it was clean but the washing machine had done something weird to it. I was more than happy with this answer, i just didn't want the owner to think i had marked the towel myself! She sent a new one to me anyway. So very responsive if you have a query. We absolutely cannot wait to visit this place again next year. Have recommended to all my friends.
We had a wonderful stay.
The hosts were helpful, friendly and easy to communicate with. The lodge was perfect and the location ideal for walking, peace and relaxation. Everything about our holiday worked for us and we’ve returned home ready to continue our extremely busy lives. Thank you.
We enjoyed every moment of our stay at Ystrad Wen.
The welcome hamper was perfect, the views were magnificent, and the hot tub was huge, as was the bed! Soaking in the regal-looking bath before bed had me feeling like a Victorian aristocrat. All I was missing was someone feeding me grapes! You could tell the hosts had put so much thought and care into every detail of the property, which made the stay feel extra special. It was a much-needed break from the city, and waking up to those beautiful views every morning left us feeling inspired, refreshed, and rejuvenated. We had such a lovely stay and would happily return.
