Welcome to the Barn B&B
Phil and Barbara welcome you to their home, the 4* Barn Bed and Breakfast at Ty’n Cellar Farm, Margam. (Swansea Bay biannual Tourism Awards)
Also we won the Local authority Building Excellence Awards 2011 in our category


Ty’n Cellar was originally part of the Margam Abbey Estate. Literally Ty’n Cellar translated means ‘House of the Cellar man’ and it is thought the name of the farm originates from this, and the supplies for the Abbey and Estate were stored in the barn. Records show that the original farm house and barn predate the 13th century. We have written records of all the tenants back as far as 1560. The original farmhouse was enlarged in 1890 when the front of the farmhouse was developed and extended along with most of the out buildings of the existing farm. The Barn that houses the bed and breakfast was increased in height at that time. The original barn was probably part of a long house and clear evidence could be seen of this as the barn was being converted. We have been very careful to maintain as many of the original features and characteristics as possible, all the exterior and interior walls have been re-pointed using traditional lime mortar in the joints. Where new windows have been installed, as much of the original stone as possible was re-used and hand plastered to show the stone work off and allow it to be lime painted. As far as possible all the timber that has been used in the barn was either the original beams or replaced as far as possible with recycled material. Guests Facilities

The Barn has 6 guest bedrooms.2 x singles, 2 x doubles, 1 family suite and a double disabled room. All rooms are en-suite with freeview TV, tea and coffee making facilities and free use of Wi-Fi. We also have free off road parking. There is a BBQ and a patio sitting area in the paddock, with easy access from the car park. This has been especially constructed to enable all guests, including wheel chair users and those less able. There is a secure steel container lock up for the storage of bikes and golf clubs during your stay. A purpose built bike wash has been built for washing down those dirty cycles. Also a drying room for all your wet kit is provided.

# # The Missing Piece of the Puzzle: A Roman Revelation at Margam 🏛️✨

Think you know **Margam Country Park**? Think again! While we all love the towering Victorian Gothic castle and the haunting ruins of the 12th-century Abbey, a groundbreaking discovery has just added a whole new chapter to this landscape’s 4,000-year history.

Earlier this year, the **ArchaeoMargam** project—a collaboration led by **Swansea University**—revealed the remains of a massive **Roman villa** hiding just three feet beneath the grass! 🏺

# # # Why this is a big deal:

* **The Largest in Wales:** Preliminary surveys suggest this could be the largest stand-alone Roman villa ever found in Wales, featuring at least 14 rooms and a grand veranda.

* **A "Mini Pompeii":** Because the site has been protected for centuries as a deer park, the foundations and floors are exceptionally well-preserved.

* **The Missing Link:** While Margam is famous for its Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Medieval history, the Roman period was always a mystery. This find proves Margam was a major power center and a "gateway" between the Welsh uplands and the fertile coast nearly 2,000 years ago.

Next time you’re walking these grounds, remember: you aren't just walking past a Victorian mansion—you’re walking over the footsteps of Roman elites and ancient leaders.

🦆 Good morning from everyone here at Ty'n Cellar Farm, including some of our beautiful feathered friends—our lovely, sassy ducks!

The ducklings have grown so quickly. They're full of personality, endlessly entertaining, and an absolute joy to watch.

I wanted to share a little poetic wisdom. The natural world has always been one of our greatest teachers, and today's lesson comes from the ducks...

💚 Slow down.
🌿 Enjoy where you are.
🦆 Stay close to your flock.
🌊 Trust the current when life asks you to float for a while.

I hope this brings a smile to your face and that your weekend is filled with fresh air, happy moments, and a little time to enjoy the simple things in life.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! ☀️🌿
