About Great Escape Farm

Great Escape Farm sits 4 miles south of Hay-on-Wye in the stunning Brecon Beacons. This impressive rural retreat combines a thoughtfully restored farmhouse and converted barn that together sleep 10 people. The panoramic views of the Black Mountains are absolutely jaw-dropping - you'll spend half your time just staring out the windows.

Set among miles of rolling countryside, this accommodation is perfect for walkers and mountain bikers. The location is wonderfully remote - far enough from civilization that you can finally hear yourself think. Fast fibre Wi-Fi keeps you connected when you need it, but the real joy is disconnecting from everything except the view.

The accommodation splits between the main farmhouse (with two king-size and one double bedroom) and the barn (with two king-size rooms). Both buildings feature impressive bathrooms with roll-top baths, open-plan living spaces and fully-equipped kitchens. Perfect for family gatherings or friends who want space to spread out but still holiday together.

Hay-on-Wye is just 10 minutes away with its famous bookshops and local produce. The Brecon Beacons National Park offers countless walking trails, while several National Trust properties make excellent day trips. After a day exploring, the hot tub awaits - nothing beats soaking in bubbling water with a glass of wine while the sun sets over the mountains.

Great Escape Farm delivers exactly what its name promises - a genuine escape. The private hot tub with mountain views is the cherry on top of this exceptional property. Who needs therapy when you've got this view?

Great Escape Farm Reviews

Emma Carter
We stayed with a group of eight adults, three kidsand our two dogs in both cottages. They were well kitted outand the owners had clearly thought of all the small details, especially recycling. The places were spotless and there was loads of firewood to keep us warm throughout. The view from the hot tub was just stunning! Perfect spot to unwind and forget about everything else. Definitely recommending it to friends - we loved it!
Emma
The converted buildings are cosy, with stunning views and a great hot-tub. We loved the comfort, but it would've been even better if they'd considered some practical aspects of living in such a remote spot. Still, a lovely stay overall!
Oliver
This house is fantastic, with incredible facilities and views that take your breath away. It's the perfect escape in a beautiful, remote location!
Lucy
We booked this place for a group of 8 and it was absolutely glorious. The views are just stunning, the property itself is really lovely and we had so much fun in the hot tub. There are excellent walks nearby and the charming town of Hay on Wye is only a 20 minute drive or a 1.5 hour walk away. Honestly, we had an amazing time here!
