Welcome to Aberyscir Coach House
Dark Skies Brecon Beacons Self Catering Cottage for 2
My dark skies holiday cottage, sleeping two, sits in the hills of the Brecon Beacons National Park with glorious views of Pen Y Fan.
Our Dark Skies offers you the chance of amazing stargazing from our fields even with the naked eye or bring your telescope.
The Victorian Rectory was built in 1891 along with a coach house for the pony and trap. This building has now been converted into a comfortable holiday cottage for two.
The hamlet of Aberyscir offers you a tranquil rural retreat with the river Yscir running below and Red Kites flying above.
I look forward to welcoming you to my holiday cottage and all that the Brecon Beacons National Park has to offer.

The Brecon Beacons Guide
I have compiled my personal guide to the Brecon Beacons from my visits over the years including those as a Brecon Beacons National Park Ambassador.
The guide covers mountains, castles, monuments, lakes and rivers. It also includes a selection of the many food, literature and music festivals that are held in the area. You will also find reviews of restaurants that I have tried out on behalf of my guests.
There is an extensive collections of maps, guides and local information in the coach house.
Dark Skies Star Gazing
This is a short video selection of pictures taken whilst star gazing at Aberyscir Coach House. Over the last few years there have been stars, planets, comets and the aurora. You too could share in this experience weather permitting.
