Bed and Breakfast - B&B between Brecon and Hay - Upper Middle Road Farm

We keep a small flock of sheep which provide meat for the house and fleece for Karen to spin and dye. Karen is active in the local Spinners', Dyers' and Weavers' Guild, and is happy to share the knowledge. The free-range hens provide the eggs that our guests can enjoy for their breakfast, together with fresh home baked organic bread, home-made jams and fruits from the garden. Most of our food is produced without artificial fertilisers or chemicals.

Guests are welcome to make themselves at home and to enjoy the garden and summer house with its wonderful views. Interested visitors can experience first-hand farm life in one of the most rural parts of Britain.

Apart from running the smallholding, Danny builds model planes and flies them from the local hills.
