Big comfortable beds in all the bedrooms, so great for a family gathering of all adults. The home was really cosy and warm, really important over a grey mid November weekend. The whole family really enjoyed their stay at Pen Bont Home Farm.

Stunning property with everything catered for. The property is beautiful. Spotlessly clean. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bed linen/pillows excellent quality. Everything from the furniture, fabrics, rugs, decor and facilities in the house were amazing. The huge games room had us all entertained for hours. This was our first time in Wales and it was definitely worth the 7 hour drive down from Scotland. Would very highly recommend! Thank you so much for a wonderful long weekend!

Beautiful setting, luxury fixtures & fittings, every need catered for , for all ages from the outside park, the outside was totally enclosed & safe, the huge games room with a log fine which was a massive hit with us all, where we spent every evening. If youâre looking for a family break for grandparents, children & grandchildren look no further. There is a big lounge area, snug, not forgetting the fabulous kitchen so everyone is catered for. The surrounding area offers lovely walks, nearby the Brecon canal boats where we rented a self drive boat for 8 & also an outdoor activity centre where we all spent a fun filled afternoon attempting some archery. We made some happy precious memories during our stay, so a big thank you to Robert our host for sharing this beautiful house.
