Ty Bach is a rustic off-grid bothy located just 3. 4 miles northwest of Hay-on-Wye in the Brecon Beacons. This completely private woodland hideaway sits on 50 acres of farmland, offering a genuine escape from modern life. The sympathetically landscaped terrace creates a secluded spot where you can truly disconnect.

Set beside a trickling stream and surrounded by trees, this is proper back-to-basics luxury. Stargazing from your private wood-fired hot tub is something guests rave about. The outdoor claw-foot bath adds another level of wild indulgence - nothing quite like soaking with a glass of wine while listening to the woodland sounds.

Ty Bach Reviews

Jamie
We had a lovely stay at this cosy spot. Privacy was spot onand the outdoor tub was a real treat after a long day. Building a fire with the provided wood was easy once you got the hang of itand the warm water lasted ages. The bed was super comfyand having a fridge and charger was handy. The fire pit and oil lamps added a nice cosy vibe. Fair warning - crossing the stones and steps to reach the compost loo might be tricky if mobility is an issue, but overall, it’s a beautiful little getaway that we’d happily return to!
Emma
We had such a lovely weekend here! It’s a real good place, perfect for unwinding and celebrating our anniversary. We enjoyed the complete peace and quietand the hot tub was a highlight-stargazing from it was just incredible. The bath afterwards was the cherry on top. Absolutely planning to return soon, it was fantastic!
Emma
We've been staying at Ty Bach for four years now. It’s just such a lovely place to unwind and soak in the peaceful countryside every time we visit.
Jamie
We absolutely loved our stay here! It’s the perfect spot to escape the hustle and unwind. Being off-grid means a bit of planning, but it’s so worth it. The outdoor bath was a real highlight-so relaxing. The little touches like good kitchen gear, robesand towels made everything feel special. Plus, the wine, coffeeand eggs on arrival were a lovely surprise. Thanks so much!
Emma
Lovely, calming experience overall

This place was just perfect for a relaxing getaway. The outdoor bath was lovelyand stargazing from the hot tub was such a treat. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for peace and quiet.
Ellie
Honestly, this place is a little gem. Tucked away in the woods, it feels like stepping into a fairytale. We loved how close it was to Hay-On-Wye, making day trips easy. The design and inside decor are stylish yet cosyand the luxury touches really stand out, especially considering it's off-grid. The fire was the heart of the place-providing warmth, lightand a lovely vibe. We didn't want to leave, honestly. It’s perfect for reconnecting with nature without sacrificing comfort. Truly unforgettable!
Emma Harris
The cottage was truly charming and incredibly romantic; honestly, it felt like stepping into a fairytale. Being completely off the grid was a breath of fresh air-so peaceful and relaxing. We really didn’t want to leave, it was such a special weekend!

We loved this secluded spot! The outdoor bath and wood-fired hot tub were perfect for unwinding. Surrounded by woods and a gentle stream, it really felt like a magical escape. Absolutely recommend!
Emma
Ty Bach is an absolute gem for unwinding and soaking in Wales’ breathtaking views. We loved how natural and peaceful it felt, especially living off-grid. The Begwyns stole our heartsand honestly, we’ve never enjoyed a holiday quite like this before. It’s the perfect spot to truly relax and reconnect!
Alex
Really enjoyed our stay, the place was perfect overall.
Emma
We've been here three times nowand honestly, it’s the perfect spot to chill out. Great location for exploring the beautiful countryside nearby. We love coming back!
Harriet
The cottage is tucked away on the owner's farm, nestled between trees, so privacy is top-notch. We spent our weekend bouncing between the jacuzzi and the comfy sofa by the fire, reading and relaxing the whole time - honestly, it felt like heaven. The compost loo was a bit of a shock (that breeze!), but once you get used to it, no worries. Everything you need for cooking is there, plus towels. We’re already planning our next visit to this lovely spot. Can’t wait!
Emma
Quite peaceful overall, but the steep ladders and low ceiling upstairs.
Alex Carter
Honestly, we weren’t quite sure what to expect without gas or electricity, but wow, what a lovely spot! It’s so peaceful, you genuinely feel like you’re the only ones there. Wales is simply breathtakingand this place makes it even more special. Stargazing from the hot tub and spotting wildlife was just amazing. Perfect for unwinding and enjoying each other’s company. We’d definitely recommend it for anyone wanting a quiet escape. Truly memorable!
James
What a lovely little hideaway! The cabin’s tucked away in such a scenic spot, perfect for unwinding. It’s off-grid but surprisingly well-equipped - we loved soaking in the hot tub under the stars. Really a peaceful spot to relax, disconnectand enjoy nature with good company. Definitely a place to return to!
Oliver
Having stayed in loads of cottages across the UK, I must say Ty Bach really stood out for a couples escape. The welcome was warm and made us feel right at home. It’s tucked away on the farm, super private and peaceful. The views are breathtakingand the stream in the garden made falling asleep so relaxing. Don’t worry about being off-grid - it’s actually a lovely break from screens for three nights! The place is fully equipped, which was a bonus. Big shoutout to Sarah for making everything perfect. We’ll definitely be back!
Emma
The cottage was super cosy and really beautiful. Can’t wait to come back next year for more!
Charlotte
We had such a lovely stay for our mini moon! Honestly, this place was a breath of fresh air and really stood out from everything else nearby. The stars at night were incredible - I’ve never seen so many! The hot tub was just perfect to unwind inand the wildlife, especially the squirrels, added a nice touch. The owners were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy getaway. Can’t wait to return!
