Fourth time that we visited Pen y Garn and we will be back again. Lovely comfy place to stay with beautiful enclosed garden and views. Lots of variety of walks close by, low level along the canal, medium level around Langorse, and high level with Pen Y Farn.

Well maintained cottage in a peaceful and quiet location. Only neighbours are sheep! Quite far from anything (including shops) which can be a blessing or a downside depending what you're after! Inside was lovely, ample seating and comfy beds. The garden is not fully enclosed, so I would not recommend for anyone looking for a dog-friendly holiday.

The farmhouse has instant wow factor that just keeps on wowing you as you explore the house and gardens. Extremely well set up, comfortable, warm and oozing with character. The hosts were very generous in their set up - there was plenty of wood for the log burner, vases of fresh daffodils and even Easter eggs for the kids. Everything in the houseRead more felt like great quality, right down to the towels and bedding. Particularly loved the outdoor log burner - we could stay warm whilst making the most of Brecon being a dark sky reserve. The stars were amazing! Hide
