Escape to a unique and quirky rural retreat.
The literal English translation of Tŵr-Ffoledd is "Tower of Folly". We think that's a pretty accurate description given its dramatic tall outline and the unusual features found in the interior. It's a peaceful, dog friendly holiday retreat in beautiful Mid Wales close to the Brecon Beacons, Llanwrtyd Wells, Elan Valley and Builth Wells.

Please note that the steep stairs make this property unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues.

The space
The ground floor is open plan with a living area with a woodburning stove, dining and a small kitchen area. We can't promise you a state of the art kitchen, but you will have an Air Fryer, flat bed microwave, toaster, hot plate, slow cooker and small fridge. There's also a cool box with ice packs for extra food or drink storage.
Upstairs is a double bedroom with a unique ensuite shower room. A set of french doors leads out onto a small balcony where you can admire the beautiful local countryside.
The loft area, accessed by steep steps from the bedroom, is a light filled room which is equally suited to relaxation, or as a work space. (Not suitable for anyone with limited mobility).

Guest access
Please note - this property is unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues.
Tŵr-Ffoledd doesn't have an enclosed garden, but there's a picnic table and barbecue for your use, behind the property in our grounds, where you can relax and enjoy the rural views, glorious sunsets and dark starry skies.
We're surrounded by open countryside, and the Epynt Way can be accessed at the top of the drive too.
However, we're in a sheep farming area so, if you have a dog, it's vital that your dog is kept under control at all times.

Other things to note
There is a maximum of 2 dogs allowed, and dog owners are requested to bring their own dog beds (and throws if they are likely to jump on the furniture).
