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 stayed in the Bull Pens over Christmas and had a fantastic time. The accommodation is first-rate. All of the rooms are large, and the decor is tastefully done and of a really good quality. It had been nicely decorated with a Christmas tree and lights so felt like we were in a magical place. The wood-burning stove allowed us to make the whole plaRead morece feel homely and was great as we played board games in the evening. The location is wonderfully remote but still near to Brecon.

We spent a lovely weekend here as a 3 generation family. The cottage itself is lovely and set on a farmyard. Theres a lovely play area for children and walks locally to enjoy the beautiful views. The equipment in the kitchen is exceptional, stocking things like a slow cooker! The hot tub is an added benefit! A lovely stay.

Beautiful double cottage big enough for 8 people The hot tub isnt up to much but everything else was lovely. Kitchen is well equipped and spacious. Nice to have a table big enough for us all to eat. It really is remote. No take outs or pubs - no phone reception! Amazing views with the most awesome stars in the dark skies above.
