About Us

Bryony, her family & sheep dog Flash welcomes you to their working farm! We know you will love it here…

Thank you for visiting

I’m Bryony, and I farm here on our sheep farm in the Black Mountains – living with the seasons, working the land, and enjoying the little things. I love sharing this peaceful, wild valley with guests who come to slow down and reconnect. 

I live here with my husband Steve & our boys, Finn and Alfie, roam these hills just like I did growing up – and I know you’ll love it here too.

A Farming Family

The Passmore family has been farming since the 1600s, moving over generations before settling here in Llanthony 45 years ago, when my grandfather began buying sheep at Brecon market.

My parents, Colin & Cordelia,have farmed here since 1987.  Having handed the farming reins over to me, my Dad still spends time on the farm and also helping my sister Annabel and her husband Jamie, who have recently taken over the Llanthony Priory.

The Llanthony Priory is well worth a visit during your stay at Castaway – with delicious homemade meals and locally sourced drinks served at the bar, set within the Priory’s unique and historic surroundings

Growing up in Llanthony

I have lived here since I was 5, along with my brother & sisters.  We climbed trees, we played in streams, we fed pet lambs, we picniced on our ponies, we hunted for frogspawn & watched the tadpoles grow.  We camped under the stars, heard the night owls hoot and now our kids do the same

Llanthony is a beautiful and special place to be and we wanted to create somewhere to share with YOU.
