Property code: OC-43212

This property offers laid back luxury, perfect for two families or friends sharing a holiday together....enough communal space for all and plenty of privacy for when you need to step away.

Set in the quiet hills beyond the towns of Brecon & Sennybridge, there are great days out to be had in the surrounding Brecon Beacons, from walking the highest South Wales peak, Pen y Fan, to enjoying yummy meals in one of the many country pubs in the area, that's if you can tear yourself away from the private hot tub.

Divided into two barns, each is fully equipped and available to let seperately. Step inside the Lower Barn, toast your feet on the underfloor heating and you'll find a large farmhouse kitchen, with all the pots, pans and gadgets you should need for a stay, plus of course dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer.

Leading through to the open plan living space, there's a large farmhouse table, overlooking the farm and on towards the hills. You will find comfy leather sofas and a wood burning stove for evenings relaxing in-front of the television. Upstairs you'll find two pretty bedrooms, an en-suite twin with a great view and room for a cot, plus an en-suite king-size bedroom.

With a downstairs dividing door between them, the attached Upper Barn offers another well equipped kitchen and further dining room. In here you'll find a downstairs en-suite twin bedroom, perfect for older knees and handy for nipping out to the hot tub just outside the door.  Upstairs is home to a double-size en-suite bedroom and a cosy sitting room with log burning stove.

The outside space is easy to access from the sitting room at Upper Barn, with a wooden deck leading directly from the french windows out to a large area for barbeques, childrens play...or simply enjoying the views.

We were two connected families so the layout suited us perfectly, and we didn't have to worry about sharing the Games Barn or Hot Tub. We were surprised to read that the property has been taking guests for so long. It is obvious that ongoing maintenance and updating has taken place to a very high standard. We have taken breaks like this on many occRead moreasions over the years, and this was most definitely the best maintained property we have stayed in. Hide

We had a fantastic long weekend in the Bull Pens. The ground-floor bedroom suited my 78-year-old father, my 7-year-old nephew loved the games barn, and the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. Plenty of space for everyone. Well equipped. Peaceful. Couldnt really ask for anything more.
