About this property

Heartwood Barn - Cosy converted barn, nestled in beautiful ancient woodland

Heartwood Barn has been lovingly renovated to create a 'home from home feeling'. The barn has its own secluded balcony overlooking a gently cascading stream. Set in a tranquil location, this is a perfect retreat for those wishing to reconnect to nature.
During your stay, you are welcome to enjoy the owners surrounding 20 acres of ancient woodland, which leads down to the river in the steep valley below. Please note that suitable footwear is advisable as the paths are steep and can at times be wet and muddy.
Heartwood Barn offers a spacious, light, open plan living/kitchen/dining area, with a large log burner, a generously proportioned bedroom with a king-size double bed, en-suite bathroom and access to the private balcony. A spiral staircase leads up to a mezzanine which provides a cosy den, with two futon chairs to relax on.
Heartwood Barn is situated half a mile from the road, down a farm track that crosses our neighbours field. It is not suitable for vehicles with a low ground clearance (e.g Sports cars). Parking is available outside the property.
The owners and their family live in the neighbouring farmhouse and are on hand should you need anything.

Perfect rural retreat in lovely barn
We had a lovely week at Heartwood Barn in this rustic barn conversion. Located down a delightful track, over a field with horses grazing and into the forest where the barn is situated. It feels like a million miles from anywhere, yet is only 15 minutes to Carmarthen and easy to get lots of other interesting places. The barn is independent of the main farmhouse which is below on a steep incline. It is hard to describe how enchanting the farm is, but it is impossible not to love the natural beauty which the farm and adjoining forest provide. Inside the barn everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided, with lots of space and a comfy bed. Whatever the weather, this is a real piece of Wales and a wonderful place to relax and unwind.

A perfect break!
We stayed at the property 13th-16th September. The location and property were perfect for us to recharge our batteries. It was absolutely wonderful to open the door to be welcomed by the log burner roaring. We sincerely hope to come back again next year. Many thanks to Martine and Matt

About the host

Host profile image
We found Nantgwyn and Heartwood Barn six years ago and instantly fell in love with them; even though they had been empty for some time. We have lovingly renovated Heartwood Barn to create a stylish and comfortable place to stay. We hope you enjoy a relaxing break and leave feeling refreshed.

Why they chose this property

If you want to get away from it all and like the peace and quiet while enjoying being surrounded by nature, then Heartwood Barn is definitely the place for you!

What makes this property unique

Twenty acres of ancient woodland, waterfalls and a river in the valley bottom, all of which can be enjoyed on the woodland walks.
