About us
We are Peter and Alexandra, and for more than 13 years we have had the pleasure of welcoming guests to our beautiful corner of the Brecon Beacons. Living on the estate means we’re always nearby to offer advice, answer questions or help with anything you may need during your stay. As dog owners ourselves, we understand that dogs are part of the family and are delighted to welcome four-legged guests.
Our commitment to sustainability
We’ve worked to reduce our environmental impact across the estate — from on-site EV charging and improved insulation to sourcing our welcome supplies locally, using Noble Isle toiletries and managing our twelve acres of grounds to encourage wildlife.

Frequently asked
Where exactly is The Ty Mawr Collection?+
