Abbey-cwm-Hir can be translated as "abbey in the long valley", and the village itself has a lovely Radnorshire Hills setting. The abbey in question is a Cistercian Abbey constructed in 1143, while ramblers and walkers will be delighted that the well known Glyndwr's Way passes through the village. Try and find time to visit the Hall, a marvellous country mansion with gardens open to the public.

More experienced outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the challenge of the more testing Brecon Beacons and Cambrian Mountains to seek out their exercise, while serious day trippers will enjoy Builth Wells and Rhayader with their restaurants, tea rooms, pubs, craft centres and museums.

Customer Rating/Reviews

We have just returned from the most wonderful holiday ever in the Happy Union Stables in Abbey Cwm Hir. The cottage was superb! Everything one could wish for and more. We were welcomed by the owner's wife who had added the extra touches to her welcome with home made cake and flowers on our arrival. Absolutely wonderful! I have a mobility problem but I was looked after with care and without condescension. We were welcomed by the whole village and felt like friends. Thanks to all.
