Beili Helyg Beacons Guest House, Aberdare

Bed & Breakfast

Beili Helyg is an 18th century stone built farm house. We have recently renovated the attached barns and can offer you beautifully spacious 4* ensuite guest rooms. There are spectacular views in every direction of the open mountainside of the BreconBeaconsNational Park. Rooms have separate access so you are free to come & go as you please.

We have 16 acres of woodland and upland meadow with several acres of site of special scientific interest (SSSI) crossed by small streams. As guests you are welcome to stroll anywhere in the grounds.

We are in the central section of the BreconBeaconsNational Parkat the head of the Cwm Cadlan valley. There is excellent walking or cycling from the door, the open access land is 5 minutes walk.

Beili Helyg is ideal for walking with major walks and more unknown routes nearby. We offer a drop off service for you to walk/navigate back to Beili Helyg, from Pontneddfechan (a waterfall walk); Dolygaer(via Taff Trail); and Neuadd reservoir (over the peaks of Cribyn, Penyfan, and Corn Du).

We have a boot room and drying facilities, secure cycle lock up and can also provide you with a packed lunch and evening meal. Our home & garden produce is on the menu daily, and other foods are sourced locally with minimal packaging.

What photographs can't show is the fresh mountain air, the complete peace & quiet, the uninterrupted long views in all directions, and the complete freedom of being so far away from the madding crowd. The sight of the Milky Way on a clear night is wonderful as our light pollution is minimal.

Caving, cycling, sailing, canoeing, climbing, bird watching, horse riding and numerous other outdoor activities are available nearby and fishing is available at rivers and reservoirs for coarse, game and wild trout. For those interested in geology and the landscape this is a rich limestone area with shake holes, swallow holes, waterfalls, limestone pavements, caves and evidence of the Dinas fault.

There are many historic & prehistoric sites; Sarn Helen the roman road from Neath to Brecon, and standing stones Maen Madoc & Maen Llia. We also have visitors who have come to investigate their ancestry as the Mormon Church at Merthyr Tydfilkeeps a multitude of records.

Relaxing and general lethargy are also recommended; imagine sitting with a novel and a drink with your toes in front of a log fire, or on a warmer day sit out on one of our benches in the woods.
