You may see them around the farm & properties getting on with their duties.
Maesgwyn is family home for Llewelyn who is James' Dad, Llew is still an active member of the farming team.
The Jones family started doing holiday lets in the farmhouse in 2015 and expanded in 2017 by converting old barns & also gaining two Pods after much success with Maesgwyn.
The Environment ..
James, Lin & family farm mainly beef and sheep across a 400+ acre farm. Their busiest time of year is always lambing so during the months of March & April guests may be lucky enough to see some lambs being born in the surrounding fields of the properties.

We loved our stay in this large, spacious house that really had everything we needed, with a very well equipped and large kitchen, great dining space in the kitchen. Very clear instructions on housekeeping etc. I think the photos don’t do justice to the size and space available. The area is remote, quiet and peaceful with stunning views of the country side which is just what we needed. Our hosts were very helpful when needed.
Loved our stay!

Just arrived back home after a great week away in this fabulous accommodation. Property is full of character and the surroundings are picturesque. I literally hit the reset button and the whole week was very relaxing. The hot tub provided many hours of fun for the adults and children. Lin the owner was great and communication via email / WhatsApp was spot on.
For sure we would return and will be making recommendations.
Thank you.
Thank you Lin & James!!

Thank you Lin & James!! Right from the off, the whole experience has been wonderful. Flowers, prosecco, eggs and doggy treats as a welcome. Thanks for the tips about where to go. Enjoyed Rhayader, Elan Valley, Aberystwyth and some of the bigger towns North.
Barn 1 comfortably slept four adults, our two year old & dog with plenty of room during our 7-night stay. Great facilities. Hot tub fully prepped and also topped up regularly throughout our time. BBQ also came in handy.
Views across the valley hugely relaxing and walks from the barn ideal for walking Ozzy. Highlight for our Ethan was being allowed up in your tractor whilst owning several miniatures.
We will be back for sure. Thank you guys.
Highly recommend & will be using them again.

We have just come back from a long weekend and We loved it! The house is incredible, nestled beautifully in a very isolated part of Wales. The walks with the dogs were invigorating and inspiring as we roamed around the perimeter. Returning back to a dip in the hot tub, fabulous log fire and a few drinks. If you want to unplug and just get away from it all then this is the place for you. The house is stocked with everything you need and Lin gives you the warmest welcome. I have already recommended it to several friends and will be returning in the not so distant future!
Thank you for letting us stay.

Worth the 7hour drive from Scotland for sure.

We have just returned from a long weekend in this lovely cosy house(which we were lucky enough to win!!) which is set in the Welsh hillsides. Spacious and well equipped the house made for a very comfortable stay with incredible views and a hot tub to enjoy them from. The owners were warm and friendly and had left some lovely goodies for us and our dogs on arrival. We enjoyed some lovely walks from the house with the dogs and children who loved seeing the sheep and cows so close up! Worth the 7hour drive from Scotland for sure.
Would highly recommend.
