Family Holiday

Family Holidays at Gilfach Wen Barn

Bringing the whole extended family together for a family holiday or multi-generational weekend break can be challenging. Even when a relative has a house big enough, the pressure of preparing the home, catering for everyone, and cleaning up afterwards can turn a family gathering into hard work instead of a holiday.

Gilfach Wen Barn in South West Wales makes large family group holidays easy. The property is designed for extended families, multi-generational breaks, and groups who want space, comfort and flexibility.

Perfect for Large and Multi-Generational Families

The barn has everything a family-friendly holiday needs:

  • A large kitchen suitable for cooking for the whole family

  • A spacious dining room so everyone can eat together

  • A big, comfortable lounge—ideal for catching up on family news

  • A variety of bedroom layouts to suit different family members

For families travelling with babies or toddlers, we provide two travel cots and two high chairs.

Accessible Accommodation for Family Members With Limited Mobility

For multi-generational holidays, accessibility is essential.
Gilfach Wen Barn offers:

  • A downstairs bedroom suitable for guests with reduced mobility

  • A wheelchair-friendly shower room on the ground floor

This makes it easy for families to bring grandparents or relatives who require accessible family accommodation.

Outdoor Space for Family Fun

Alongside the garden, on request families also have access to a  field for games, making the barn ideal for family reunions, children’s activities, and relaxed outdoor fun.

Some families choose to spend their days simply catching up, enjoying the peace and privacy that Gilfach Wen provides. Others prefer to explore the area together or independently.

Things to Do in South West Wales

Many families appreciate the huge range of visitor attractions in South West Wales, allowing everyone to choose activities that suit their interests before meeting back at the barn in the evening.

I am currently adding a section to this website featuring activities within a short walk or cycle ride from Gilfach Wen Barn.

In the To Do section you’ll find just some of the free and local attractions available to families, including beaches, forests, viewpoints, and family-friendly places to visit.

As a Tourism Ambassador for Carmarthenshire and the Brecon Beacons National Park, and chairman of our local tourism organisation, I can help you find the best family attractions, walks, scenic drives, or group activities to suit everyone in your extended family.
