Local Directions
If you are approaching from Knighton, turn up a sharp (*) left as you pass the speed limit sign on reaching the village, signed Brandy House Farm (opposite the village sign). Continue up the lane over the two cattle-grids (**) and we are at the top about 150 metres from the main road.
If you are approaching from Newtown, leave on the A483 (signed Llandrindod Wells) to Dolfor. Turn left onto the B4355. Go through the village of Felindre and as you leave it, turn up to your right just before the end of speed limit sign at the Brandy House Farm sign. Continue up the lane over the two cattle-grids and we are at the top about 150 metres from the main road.
* If you are travelling with a horse lorry from the Knighton direction you may find it easier to go past the turn, through the village and turn at the crossroads on the other side of the village, then approach as if from Newtown.
** You will find it easier to open the gates than to drive over the cattle grids if you have a big lorry.
If you are using a sat Nav or google maps and are approaching us from the North they will more than likely take you the shorter scenic route through tiny and steep lanes missing out Newtown. If you are towing a trailer or coming with a Lorry we would recommend that you go to Newtown and follow the directions above!!
