Pen Bont Home Farm Reviews

Louise
What a beautiful property with a superb games room. Im not sure the photos do it justice. Incredibly warm and inviting with lots of space. Plenty of everything and lovely smelling toiletries. Will most definitely return
Beautiful farmhouse cottage in great location. Quiet and peaceful. Very comfortable rooms. It rained a fair bit January so we settled down by the fire to read and eat comfort food.
The property is well equipped and comes across as home from home. The ease of living at Pen Bont Home Farm for a week is eased by excellent bathrooms, warm utility, downstairs toilet and back access for dogs. The beds and settees are comfortable too. The kitchen has everything including a welcomed coffee machine and plenty of wood for the fire. Hose pipes all around the property helped muddy paws. As a mixed generational family spending Christmas we had a wonderful time. There are lots of walks from the house and easy driving access to Brecon and Hay on Wye. The owners respond quickly to questions and everyone around very friendly. Some little niggles would be empty boxes of washing powder and dishwasher tablets which would be annoying but ok as we had brought our own and a few more plates and dishes wouldn't go a miss but that is being super picky. On the whole a wonderful experience, would highly recommend and would return. Thank you Pen Bont Home Farm for a wonderful Christmas !
Great family holiday. Home from home. Comfortable and lots of space. We loved the games room and log fires in the evenings. Very helpful owner. Thank you.
We spent a week at Pen Bont Home Farm at the beginning of October. It really is a superb holiday home we knew from previous reviews it would be good but it really is a wonderful place! The level of comfort is something else and so much thought has been put into everything provided. We were a party of 5...my husband and I and 3 of our adult sons, plus 2 dogs. All of us really enjoyed our stay. The Games Barn is amazingour sons enjoyed using all the facilities and making it cosy in the evenings with a wood fire in the burner! A second Games Barn has been added now too! We had some lovely walks during our staythere is a pleasant short walk by the river in the fields alongside the property, plus some further afield too. There is a wealth of information provided in the cottage by Robert, the owner, who is so helpful and ready to help if needed. We will certainly hopefully return for another stay in future!
Superb. Way beyond our expectation. Robert was very helpful indeed. Very high specification. Fab games rooms. Powerful showers. Excellent Aga. Homely.A place to totally relax in. If youre thinking of booking? DO IT!
Clifford
The property had everything we could possibly want for comfort, space, facilities & games. It was great to play an old traditional Northants game of Skittles again. My family of all boys 7 of us came for a walking holiday with plenty to do in the evening. We had both and even set up a competition to play all the games against each other. Brilliant!

Pen Bont Home Farm is an excellent place for a big family get together with facilities to suit all ages. The house has lots of space and the addition of the Games Barns & outdoor play area is a fabulous bonus. An ideal base to explore the wider area from too. We loved it !
We all absolutely loved our stay at Pen Bont Home Farm. We had been looking for a place big enough for 6 adults 2 children and 2 dogs which could cater for everyone's needs and we found just that here. The farmhouse itself is so beautifully renovated. We loved the large kitchen and table, this was perfect for our meals and games night. The bedrooms are perfect and the comfiest beds. And the games room, well this was probably the highlight for most of us. Enough different types of games to keep everyone entertained. Plus the tv area and log burner was perfect for a movie night. Would highly recommend this property, couldn't have picked a better location to celebrate my 40th with family.
Andrea
We had a perfect stay in this beautiful cottage. The owners have thought of everything and with the wonderful games room, there is no reason to leave though plenty of good walking available, so we made the most of that. Definitely one to return to, thank you for being such thoughtful generous hosts.
We had a lovely relaxing stay at Pen Bont Farm. It is a large very comfortable house. It is well equipped, peaceful with beautiful views. We enjoyed the short walk to the river and also the walk up to the common. We enjoyed the games barn and made good use of the BBQ. Many thanks for such an enjoyable stay.
Karen Louise
This place is simply stunning in a very beautiful setting, really clean, spacious, comfortable beds. There was plenty of space for everyone. Cooking on the aga was a lovely experience. The games room was a fab hit all round. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Well presented, with amazing attention to detail. This farmhouse has been thoughtfully converted into a holiday rental that exceeds expectations. Pen Bont has been equipped to a very high standard with top end appliances and carefully chosen furniture. The bedrooms are a good size and comfortable but a little more storage for hanging clothes would make them perfect, but is not a deal breaker. The property was clean and tidy and well looked after. The games room is perfect for the whole family to enjoy and the views are fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will hopefully return next year. Thanks to Robert for his friendliness and approachability. A telescope for the amazing nightsky would finish this property off nicely!
Wow!! What a fabulous property and pleasant host . The barn is very comfortable, well equipped, spacious and full of special little areas and interesting artefacts. The outdoor area is spacious, enclosed and there is a paddock for the dogs. The bathrooms were excellent with lovely showers, good quality and sized towels, plenty of loo roll and shower gel etc. The beds were very spacious and comfortable. There are loads of comfy seats, masses of books, games an office area. Thare are too many many positives to list them all, you have to go and see for yourselves. The Games room is extraordinary. I have never seen anything like it and probably won't again. Amazing! The weather wasn't brilliant so we spent a lot of time on there and it was superb for the whole family ranging from 1 year old to 74.So many comfy furniture throws etc. A huge TV and woodburner with plentiful supply of logs and a fridge for your drinks. So many things to do. We had such fun and the wall hangings etc make it a unique place. We will miss it for a long time. Oustanding, thank you.
The property was beautiful and exactly what we needed for a restful break away! Plenty of space and comfortable beds! Plenty of games available and we were never bored! Plenty of hikes near by, we had a beautiful Sunday roast at Three horseshoes Inn Groes, vegan options available, highly recommend 20mins drive! Thanks a lot!
Kaitlin
The house and surrounding land was incredible, it was the perfect place to stay with friends and the dogs! To start, it was super easy to find and access, upon arrival, we found the entire house was clean, tidy and beautifully designed, it was also incredibly comfortable and felt like a home! The enclosed courtyard and fields made our life so easy with the dogs, we felt relaxed knowing they were safe running around and it was such a luxury having multiple car parking spaces too! The house had everything you would ever need and more including having the Aga lit which was fantastic, as it made cooking easy and quick, plus it was great to warm yourself up against! The only slight critique would be the house was too warm at times, but the weather was so temperamental we had really cold rain and a storm, to 15 degrees and sun March weather for you, so I cant really blame the house for that! Overall a fantastic couple of days in a beautiful location and home! Would highly recommend! Thank you!
Jasmine
The entire property is idyllic. Everything you could ever want is there. Its clear from the moment you drive through the gates that this property has been lovingly curated with comfort and fun in mind. The owners have managed to create a feel of home from home but with the luxury of being able switch off from the day to day home life. We stayed with friends for my husbands 40th. The location was perfect for the guys to spend a day at bike park wales whilst the rest of us set off in search of walks and waterfalls. The party barn is the perfect space for guests to be able to unwind after a day. We left our two little ones at home this time but friends brought their two year old and the set up was perfect for her as well. I secured a prime spot by the window each morning to enjoy a cup of tea and read my book whilst the sun rose over the fields. On our last morning I ventured out solo to wander the fields and watch the frosty sunrise in the crisp morning air perfect! Ive just booked this property again for next year and already cant wait to be back.
Andrew
Everything catered for at Pen Bont home farm, as a family of ten, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The barn games room with the log burner was amazing, spent most of our time there. Sleeping accommodation was outstanding. Kitchen facilities outstanding. Its quite remote, between Brecon and Builth Wells surrounded by beautiful countryside, Loved staying here and will return. The Clement family
We had a lovely stay, the house is beautiful and the beds were so comfy! Everything we could have needed was provided, we had fun playing pool in the games room and sitting infront of the lovely fire. We would love to come back and stay again sometime.
Angharad
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this holiday property near Beacon. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that a lot of thought and care had gone into making this a perfect retreat for families and groups. The facilities were truly exceptional. The property was spotless, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had all the essentials and more!, making it easy to prepare meals. The spacious lounge and cozy bedrooms made it feel like a home away from home. The highlight for us, though, was the brilliant games room! It was a hit with both the kids and adults. From table tennis to pool and board games, there was something for everyone. It kept the children entertained for hours, and we enjoyed some friendly competition ourselves. The location was another bonusclose to Beacon, with plenty of nearby attractions and scenic walks to explore. It was the perfect balance of peaceful countryside and access to local amenities. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing holiday. Well definitely be back!
Jordan
When we arrived the AGA was switched off and thermostats all down at 5, this meant the house was a little cold for the first hour or so but once the log burner was on and turned the thermostats up everything was okay.
Joanne
Amazing 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 linenpillows 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!
This is a super lovely property that is very comfortable with high quality amenities and well maintained by the owner. 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.
An absolute stunning property with everything you will need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The games room keeps everyone entertained and on the property is plenty of room for children and dogs to enjoy a run around whilst being secure. A lovely little play area for younger children and a barbecue and outdoor toilet for evenings sat outside. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone.
What a fantastic house & excellent host. 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 youre 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.
Absolutely beautiful property. We had a wonderful weekend and all said how lovely it would be to have a whole week there. Immaculately clean. Super comfortable beds. Gorgeous decor throughout. Fabulous!
Kayleigh
What an amazing stay we had here! This was a surprise for my husbands 40th birthday. The house is impeccable and has EVERYTHING you need, the attention to detail is incredible, everything was organised and you had everything you needed, from spare toilet paper to printed walking routes!! The games room is an absolute staple feature to the housewe spent every evening in there with a log fire on There was lots to do for children and the little park was amazing. The views were incredible and the silence was lovely. I would 1000 recommend to anyone looking to book. We have stayed in lots of places and this by far tops the list!!
Odette
OMG what a beautiful place, lots of character, just like the photos. The owners have thought of everything. A lovely welcome basket, the property was clean with lots of everything we could have needed. The games tables in the barn were a hit with all of us. Ive never seen a holiday property so well equipped, even toys and games for the children. The owner was helpful regarding directions to the property as a road was closed leading up to the property. I would recommend this fantastic holiday property to anyone who wants a family holiday. I will definitely be booking again. A beautiful location with a beautiful holiday property. Thank you
Glenda
We had a wonderful 3 days at Pen Bont for a family reunion. The property is of exceptional standard and far exceeded our expectation. We can understand how it has achieved a perfect 10 from Sykes. The house has been renovated to a very high standard. The games room was amazing. We hope to return. Thank you Yvonne, Glen & families
Keerthy
Absolutely amazing place! Looks exactly like the pictures. The Games Room is the highlight of this property. You wouldnt need to leave the property. Hope to stay here again.
Jennifer
Beautiful farm house. Comfortable beds and the bedding is first class. The games room is so big and spent so much time in there. Comfy area in the games room to watch TV whist others play pool or table tennis. Lovely outside area with outside toilet. It would be even better with a covered area connecting the kitchen to the games room with a front door you could lock. I do think some more plates, bowls etc is needed. My grandson didn't want to leave.
Victoria
We have just come home from a week at the beautiful Pen Bont home farm and it certainly didnt disappoint. We feel like the photos, although incredible dont do it justice. The house is very large and so are the grounds. Our children absolutely loved it and were never short of something to do. We will absolutely be back! Thank you Robert, for everything you did for us and the children. Youre the best!
The property and its facilities were truly excellent. We had a family celebration and there was something for everyone in the games room. The owners , Robert and Margaret Taylor , could not have been more obliging. A wonderful stay.
This house is amazing, everything has been thought of down to walking sticks, dog blankets and bike repair kit. The games room is a great place to have fun with others whatever the weather. The location is remote and peaceful we went on an 8 mike hike and saw noone! The decor is tasteful and comforting I would definitely recommend staying here and would love to return.
What an absolute Gem! Cant say enough good things about the property and equally importantly the land it sits in and around. The house has been restored with great care and the attention to details shines through in every room. The documents showing the renovations shed some light on exactly how much time, effort and money went into bringing the farmhouse back to life. All of the owners fields are gated and fully accessible and theres benches down by the beautiful river where you can also take a wild dip if you feel inclined we did. Walk out the door and across the road following the pathway and youre launched into 500 acres of wild Brecon Landscape where youre free to roam, or drive 5 mins away 8th the MOD owned land and youre treated to a spectacular mountain pass. On our stay we struck out as far as New Quay to watch dolphins and also climbed Pen Y Fan on the Horseshoe Loop then took in the Waterfall Walks. Every day was made more perfect by arriving back at the Farmhouse and as youre only 1015 mins from Brecon, shops and restaurants are all in striking distance. Dont hesitate to book, you wont be disappointed and if you get the opportunity have a chat with the owners and locals, theyre great people who are warm and welcoming.
This was the best Holiday home we have all stayed in. It was amazing facilities, games room was everything you could want. TVs in most rooms so everyone had a choice. The place has been refurbished in top quality fixture and fittings. Outside space is great, 11 acres of fields to explore and the river.
Joanne
