Went for a couple of days to bike park Wales. Chose this place to stay. Very nice and clean Excellent breakfast. Plenty of variety. 20 mins to BPW. Plenty of parking space. Safe to leave bikes. A couple of pubs within 5 mins walking. Both serving food.
Lovely cottage, beautiful rooms and location is astounding. We hired 6 rooms for a party of 9. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and say was very comfortable.
Spent 4 weeks here and it was great! 3 weeks in a room and 1 week in a house. The breakfast is freshly cooked to order and incredible!!! Rooms are very nice, well equipped, mattresses could be comfier but that was the only downside to the whole stay.
Lovely friendly people. Great room. Good pub in walking distance. Bike Park Wales is a short drive away. I'll be back to Penrhadw Farm soon.
A very nice cottage that is run by the hotel. That is just I just sent to the building. There are two such similar accommodations on offer. The hotel also offers breakfast. If you fancy you'll have to let them know in advance. The house does not have the latest of the fittings. There is no clothes dryer in this place. That is very little crockery or cutlery. There is a dishwasher. This place is very close to the Brecon and railway station. If you're there outside this accommodation, you can actually see the mountain train go by on the other side of the help. There is a small inclined garden patch opposite to this house. That is parking area for 10 to 15 cars. There is no any convenience stores or any amenities within walking distance of this cottage.
Lovely place the staff are very welsh and extremely friendly. Homes where clean rooms comfortable and warm. So many beautiful walks 20min from penny fan and two local pubs that except dogs. The houses excepted out three labs. Facilities where great plenty of hot water for a well needed bath at the end of the day. Will go back again.
Me and my mate stayed for one night before going to bike park wales the next morning. They have a bike lock up, but we just kept our bikes in the car as its so quiet there. Its further out of town so very quiet, peaceful, and there's a good pub 10 min walk down the road. Plus, full Welsh breakfast was amazing!
Could not fault the stay. Traditional farm accommodation, was immaculate! All the ladies who work there are attentive, friendly and make you feel so welcomed. Fantastic breakfast, great choices, homemade Welsh cakes and scones. Great location for exploring! Definitely recommend and we will certainly stay again.
