  • Your Hosts

    Meet the Jones family ..

    James and Lin Jones live just down the road from Maesgwyn, Beacon View Barns, and Beacon View Pods with their three children—Ceri, Rhys, and Sian. You might spot them around the farm or tending to the properties as part of their daily routine.

    Maesgwyn is also home to Llewelyn, James' father, who remains an active member of the farming team and an important part of daily life on the land.

    The Jones family began their holiday let journey in 2015, opening up the farmhouse to guests. Following its success, they expanded in 2017 by converting traditional barns and adding two glamping pods, creating the welcoming rural retreats you see today.

    The family farms over 400 acres, focusing mainly on beef and sheep. The busiest season is lambing time in March and April—guests visiting during this period might be lucky enough to witness newborn lambs in the surrounding fields.

    Summer brings a different kind of excitement, with plenty of tractor activity across the farm during harvest season—perfect for a bit of tractor spotting!

Relaxing weekend 5/5

We truly enjoyed our weekend away in the Fern - Beacon View Pod. The pod was very well equipped and cosy. We loved the hot tub and the views. I highly recommend this place for a nice romantic quiet weekend, it's the perfect place to turn off your phones and just enjoy each other and nature.

Love this place! 5/5

Second time staying here and we absolutely love it. Such a peaceful place, being in the hot tub looking out over the mountains is gorgeous. We take our dog, he loves how spacious the place is and we love the enclosed decking so we know he’s safe. Beautiful walks around the area as well. Reasonably priced, clean, fresh eggs are amazing! Couldn’t ask for more!

Peaceful and idyllic 5/5

We stayed for 4 nights in May. We had the best time despite the evenings being a little chilly! The pod was spotlessly clean when we arrived, the hot tub was crystal clear and warm and the welcome try with tea, coffee etc, fresh flowers and eggs was very sweet. The decking is fully enclosed with two gates which was perfect for our dog. The pod overlooks the valley which was stunning. We enjoyed watching the sheep and new lambs, some of whom were mere feet away from the pod. The hot tub was wonderful and we enjoyed using the bbq, fire pit and log burner supplied. The bed was a little hard for our tastes but others may like that. The hot tub was a little murky by day 5 but we were in it a lot! We saw the farmers a couple of times while walking out and about, they were friendly but not at all intrusive which we appreciated. This is the perfect holiday if you want peace and quiet as it is remote, we walked to the local pub a couple of times but be prepared for an up and down hill trek of 3.8 miles each way! It is a glorious walk if you like walking. The wifi in the pod was very reliable.
