Ty Ffarm at Gellilwch Reviews

Richard

Booked for some of our men working in the area, they loved the house and wanted me to keep re booking, they have stayed a handful of times and would stay again. Babs who owns the property is lovely she is very hands on and on the other end of the phone if you need anything.

Rachel

Weve stayed at Ty Ffarm for the last 3 years to enjoy New Year celebrations as a familyit quickly became the childrens favourite time over the festive period. Cant recommend this cosy farmhouse enough, its spotless and has everything you could possibly need. The hosts are also super accommodating, helpful and lovely. We are sad that we are unable to return for a 4th year, the only reason being that we have outgrown the spacewith 18 of us booking for 2024. I hope to be back again at some point though! X

1010! The house was just beautiful, well equipped, spotlessly clean and the views were incredible! 10 of us stayed for a weekend and even though we all live and work locally it felt like we were a million miles away from home. The hot tub was a lovely bonus and bubbly and cake waiting on arrival was such a lovely touch. We will definitely return.

What can I say but just perfect! The house is so beautiful and had everything we wanted and more! It was immaculate throughout and so well equipped. The views were breathtaking. The owner has thought of everything and the house just oozes love. We were a group of 8 ladies and we all agreed that this was the best holiday rental we had ever stayed in.Babs the owner was so accommodating and just the perfect hostess. The cake and Prosecco was such a lovely touch when we arrived. Babs, thank you so much, we cant wait to return.x

We thoroughly enjoyed our family weekend and couldnt have wished for a more perfect place to stay. Warm, welcoming, super comfortable, amazingly well equipped and incredible communication with Babs and team. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to South Wales! Thank you for the memories x

Perfect accommodation for a big family get together. Lots of space and a kitchen which had enough crockery and cooking equipment to cater for any occasion. Rooms were clean and comfortable with nice linen and towels provided. Communication with the owner was very good too. We would definitely return.

Overall a great property for an Airbnb stay with all your friends. Amazing views, spacious hot tub, and comfy bedswhat more could you want from your stay?

Selton Sajjan

The place is maintained so well. Really appreciate the manner you have incorporated modern contemporary interior in a 16th century old house taking utmost care to maintain the living room as it is. What a blissful vintage feeling! Your place has absolutely everything one would require to live without any hustle to carry extra stuff from home. Perfect home away from home. The view from the hilltop is so scenic. Enjoyed the sunrise as well as sight of blood moon. Our colleagues had great time in the hot tub. Thank you for everything!

We two families and grandma had a brilliant week which started off with a treat of wine and cake! The kitchen is particularly well equipped I often bring bits from my own but didn't need anything! We were lucky with the weather so didn't use the extensive variety of games on offer but again there was no need to bring your own. The hot tub was used everyday sometimes twice with everyone enjoying the views. What a shame our ladies didn't win the World Cup plenty of room for us all to watch the final together in the TVgames lounge.

Christina

We had a lovely week in this beautifully presented, very well equipped house. We loved the outside space, the view, the bbq and the hot tub. There were 9 of us including 6 children but we had plenty of space and never felt on top of each other. We enjoyed playing the games provided on a rainy day. It had everything we needed and more, would love to return.

Joanne

Amazing property, everything you need and more, great place to relax or as a base for lots of days out, stunning views and fantastic communication from the friendly owner, will definitely be returning.

Joanne

Ty Ffarm is a beautifully renovated home set in peaceful rolling hills. We had a wonderful weekend celebrating a special birthday as a multigenerational family of 12. The house is immaculate and so well equipped both indoors and outdoors with a huge selection of games for rainy days and a beautiful outdoor space with hot tub, BBQ and trampoline for dry weather days. Towels, cosy blankets and outdoor toys are also a plenty. Communication from Babs was excellent and super friendly and the birthday treats and bubbly on arrival were a lovely touch. Cant wait to go back, would highly recommend.

This was our second holiday at Ty Ffarm and it didn't disappoint. We were welcomed with two lovely cakes and Prosecco. We all had the most fabulous week. The house is amazing and SO well equipped. There were 7 of us but we never felt on top of each other. My grandchildren 2 and a half and 4 and a half loved it and had so many games, books and outdoor activities to keep them occupied. We all want to return for a third holiday. Thank you, Babs, for a perfect holiday.

Ty Ffarm is a beautiful old farmhouse recently refurbished to a very high standard. We particularly liked the large kitchen which is extremely well kitted out. The whole farmhouse is very well furnished and decorated and lacks for nothing. There are lots of toys and games for children. The outside was perfect for the 5 children aged 3 to 6. Large synthetic grass area with trampoline and large patio with dining set and a hot tub which was a huge favourite. The house is set in a lovely location with great views all around. The owner, Babs, was very helpful and kind on the few occasions we had contact. We are planning another family get together again for next year.

Michael

The cottage was excellent for our three generations of family, grandchildren enjoyed the games grownups enjoyed the two lounges and large farmhouse kitchen. Weather was mixed but we found plenty to do in the area, being half an hours drive from beach and Brecon Beacons. On the one stormy day the cottage excelled at keeping us all entertained. Would recommend it to all families.

Caroline

Lovely spacious property easily able to accommodate two families. Beautiful surroundings, convenient for access to surrounding areas despite the isolated location. Lots of books and games although lots missing parts so could do with sorting out and the kids loved the outside area and trampoline. We had a lovely break.

We had an amazing stay at Ty Ffarm celebrating a special anniversary with all our family. The house and facilities were brilliant, everything we needed was there, just like home from home. The hot tub was the icing on the cake! Babs and Alan were wonderful hosts. We would recommend this property wholeheartedly.

We stayed at Ty farm for a lovely hen weekend . The house was just as the listing, it was a beautiful country side house. Babs the owner was so helpful and kind to us! When we arrived she went out of her way provide us with bottles of Prosecco and sweet treats . Couldnt recommend it enough, would definitely go back !

Rachel

This is our second stay at the Farmhouseand we loved it just as much as the first time! It really is a home from home and has everything you could possibly need perfect for our family New Year celebrations. Owners are quick to respond and super helpful and the welcome fizz and goodies always appreciated. I think the fact we have already rebooked for next year says it all really!

Absolutely loved this place, perfect location, rural but the villagetown very close if you need it. The house is beautiful, inside and out, you can really tell that love and care is put into the property. Comfortable, lovely and warm with the wood burning stoves, the electric fire in the front lounge warmed the room up really quickly. We dont have one bad word for this place, its just amazing. The owners are very friendly and quick to respond IF you need them. We will definitely be booking this place again.. I cant say enough good words, we all loved it ALOT

10 girlsladies had the best weekend staying here. Very relaxing, countryside views and walks. The rooms were all beautifully decorated we loved the bathroom!. The kitchen ideal for our catering needs and we had cakesdonuts and Prosecco for us on arrival thank you!

Amazing property with great views everything is where you need it and its a very well layed out home. Great communication from Babs with plenty of advice when asking for additional information. Directions work well too. Would def come back.

Benjamin

We want to thanks babs for letting us stay at her lovely home! We had a treacherous journey driving up in the rain and Upon arrival were welcomed with sweet treats, a bottle of red and a nice warm house to get cosey and enjoy our first evening. The house was clearly well looked after, we had everything we could possibly need, its spacious, comfortable and hosts some beautiful views, babs was so easy going and at hand for anything we needed, I cant recommend this place enough, it was so easy and very private, we had a great time celebrating my friends birthday and we cannot wait to come back! The hot tub was the cherry on top to a wonderful, clean and hospitable house and holiday!

Thomas

Beautiful property with lots of space and amenities. Perfect for a gathering of friends who want a big space to socialise and relax for a weekend. Top marks for the hot tub!

We had the most fantastic holiday at Ty Ffarms. The cottage was cosy and comfortable and was so child friendly. It had everything anyone could possibly need. The garden was lovely to spill out on to and the hot tub was a total hit with my daughter and soninlaw. We would love to come back.

Puegee

We had a really lovely stay at Ty Ffarm. It was as described and more. This holiday cottage has one of the most organised, clean and tidy kitchens weve stayed in has everything you need and easy to find. The outside space was lovely set on the farm with beautiful views into the valleys. It was quiet and spacious. The children LOVED the garden and all the outdoor toys and equipment again, this was organised and thought about. Also, they loved spotting the sheep in the fields next door. Babs communication was great and she also welcomed us with bubbly, muffins and cupcakes which was really kind. We really enjoyed our stay and its definitely one of our favourite places weve stayed in.

We all enjoyed are stay at Ty Ffarm ,the house was beautiful very clean and spacious we were 8 adults ,it was very well equipped there was nothing we needed that it didnt have, outside the views from the spacious garden were lovely. We felt like we were in the middle of the country side but the nearest town was only ten minutes away, the owners were very nice & friendly and left out muffins and a bottle of wine for our arrival .

Jackie

This property is very well equipped for a large familygroup, it has everything you need for a lovely holiday inside and out. Plenty of kitchen equipment, towels even for the hot tub. All rooms spacious especially upstairs family bathroom. Garden large for our energetic little ones, so many out door toys and lots of indoor games to keep them happy. Parking space lots of it and quiet country side not having to worry about disturbing the neighbours apart from the sheep. Great barbq. Many thanks.

Antonia

Our stay was absolutely amazing, the pictures online do not do the property justice. We especially loved the hot tub overlooking the beautiful view and the property had everything we needed. Worth every penny and I would highly recommend!

Ty Ffarm was a fantastic holiday home very spacious, thoughtfully furnished and well equipped. It is set in a beautiful area to explore. The hot tub was a hit, and there was an impressive array of board games and a very well equipped kitchen. The owner was attentive with good communication. The lane leading to the farm house from the main road needs careful driving, especially if arriving at night, but the destination is well worth it

Nunzio

Lovely house with everything provided you could possibly need and more to make it home from home , great location and views from the garden.

Claire

This is absolutely fantastic house. We stayed her for my mothers birthday and the place couldnt be more perfect. There were 6 adults and 3 kids and there was more than enough room for everyone. The house itself had everything that we needed and more. The outdoor space was great. The garden is completely enclosed so the kids could have fun with us knowing they werent disappearing off. The owner was super quick to respond with any questions I had. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks so much for a super stay!!

Steven

It was a beautiful cottage that was perfect location and stunning to stay in.

Absolutely beautiful house with amazing details and facilities. Stayed with 6 adults and 2 young children and everything was catered for. Very very clean and lovely comfortable beds. Great garden with lots of games and amazing hot tub. Really amazing location with lots near by but totally out of the way, private and peaceful. The only thing I could offer the host for any kind of improvement would be potentially adding TVs in some of the bedrooms? Just amazing details throughout the place from the host, everything labelled and just lovely! Thank you for a truly amazing stay! Im so sad to be home xx

Genuinely such a great place with amazing views and facilities the only fault which isnt even one is just knowing what to do with the towels and bedding. Parking is perfect for multiple cars and great public footpaths nearby. Again as Ive said before in the booklet, the hot tub is beautiful.

A lovely holiday cottage in a fabulous location that is extremely well equipped and well maintained. I highly recommend this property for a comfortable stay in the Welsh countryside.

A lovely, comfortable property. We have stayed there a few times before, evidence of our complete satisfaction!

Rebecca

Great place. The little things the owners put in to welcome us Prosecco and cakes was a lovely idea and really made us feel welcome. The home is gorgeous and we will definitely be back!

There are no real words to explain this house, it's absolutely beautiful and actually our second visit. It was a perfect location with just a 30 minute drive into Cardiff which was ideal with celebrating a big birthday. The house was clean and cosy and the extra thoughtful touches by babs were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. I know we'll be visiting again with a doubt.

Rachel

We book somewhere to celebrate New Year together as a family every year, and I have to say this has been the best place we have stayed by far! We have already booked again for next year. Excellent communication throughout with the hosts, who really have thought of everythingcake and fizz on arrival was a lovely touch! The farm house had plenty of cutleryglasses and tableware for a large family gathering and the facilities were excellent. Such a cosy and spotlessly clean! house, especially with the the beautiful Christmas decorations. We didnt get to explore the beautiful surroundings as much as we wouldve liked due to the weather but the children loved the hot tub and running around in the garden plus all the games inside the housewe cant wait to come back!
