About the host

Hosted by Jane White

Host profile image
We live in Llanbethery which us a couple of minutes away from the barn so always on hand if needed. We love the countryside and area we live in. We both work locally and have 2 children and daughter aged 21 and a son of 17.

Why they chose this property

We have spent a year converting the 200 year old barn taking a lot of care and attention to detail creating a property that we love and I know you will too.

What makes this property unique

Amazing views.
Wood burner
We care for the environment, the electricity is supplied by Solar and the water is from a Bore hole.
