The Castle (or Castle Farm), at Capel-y-ffin (the Chapel at the End), is a long, low hill farm, tucked and hidden in its Black Mountain blanket. The peace and tranquillity of the valley is remarkable – acting as inspiration for poets like William and Dorothy Wordsworth, David Jones (illustrator for Gulliver’s Travels) and writer Bruce Chatwin.
Accommodation at the Castle is flexible. It sleeps up to 30, with 7 bedrooms (2 ensuite) sleeping 16 in the main house and options of adding further spaces in the Cottage and an extra external double bedroom called the Granary.
Castle Farm sits in 40-acres, in an exceptionally private location near Hay-on-Wye, with direct access to the Black Mountains, which are part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It has its own stretch of river for paddling in, and acres of land and woods.

Landed Houses
Castle Farm is probably the most remote-feeling of large country houses to rent on the Landed Houses site - some seven miles up a single track road in rural Wales. It used to be a youth hostel and has four separate buildings; the Farmhouse, the Barn, the Cottage and the Granary. The largest and most ... comfortable (by some way) is the Farmhouse which sleeps ten and is often rented out with the adjacent Barn which can sleep another ten in bunks and is ideal for children. The Barn also has a shower room / washroom which is as it would have been in the days when Castle Farm was a youth hostel. My favourite rooms in the Farmhouse are the kitchen with Aga and next-door dining room which are both very presentable and smart-looking. The sitting room is also decent and provides a good place to rest weary legs after a long day's walking. The smallest of the properties, the Granary, is on the other side of the Farmhouse and has room for just four. The remaining property is the Cottage which is basic but very liveable. Not one for the divas of this world but many many steps up from a bunkhouse. I think that Castle Farm is extremely well suited to the more active groups who want to stay in the one of the most remote buildings I have across that has four walls, a roof that doesn't leak and some very comfortable living space! Floor plan.The Farmhouse has 5 double bedrooms, 2 ground floor bathrooms and a large kitchen with Aga. The Cottage has 2 family rooms (double with single bed), 1 single room and 1 bathroom. The Granary can take 2 adults and 2 children on bunk beds. The Barn can take 10 children/adults on bunk beds and has a microwave, kettle, fridge and one bathroom.
