“We had a lovely stay at Pen Yr Maes.”

Tucked away in a beautiful part of Wales, it was peaceful and relaxing. The property was ideal for us with a 3 year old and a baby. Our 3 year old loved running around the house and with it being on one level we knew he was safe. The property is spacious and comfortable and really felt like a home from home. The hot tub was an added benefit too! A short walk to the local pub for Sunday lunch, which was inviting and friendly, was very much enjoyed. Overall a wonderful little break ...

“We had the most relaxing stay, absolute bliss.”

Arrived to gorgeous flowers and a home made cake which was a real treat. We didnt have the best weather but still managed to get out and do lots of walking, the area is beautiful. The house was perfect, very cosy with the woodburner. Lovely garden, totally enclosed for the dogs and the hot tub was amazing. We ate at the pub a couple times - great food and very friendly. We loved it here and wouldn't have changed a thing, can't wait to return. Thanks again Delyth for being such a welcoming host.

“Lovely spacious cottage in a good location for dog walks.”

The home made cake on arrival was a lovely treat and didn’t last long!!! Nice big garden which gets plenty of sun, and the pub is literally around the corner with good food and beers. The kids now want us to buy a massive hot tub!!!

“The bungalow and it’s surroundings were even better than our already high expectations!”

We found the bungalow immaculate with everything you could possibly need. The gardens surrounding the property are well kept with stunning views from every direction. We found it so peaceful with only the distance sounds of the sheep. Our dog loved it too as it was completely enclosed with so much for her to explore. The hot tub is huge which we enjoyed each evening admiring the views. The Seven Stars Pub is literally at the bottom of the drive and as it is also dog friendly, we ate there several times and thought the food was very good. We visited Llewellyn’s Cave, Elan Valley and Builth Wells which is the nearest town. I would say remember to take your basics such as bread and milk etc as there are no shops in a short walking distance. On arrival there was a freshly made cake and a beautiful bunch of flowers to greet us which we thought was such a lovely added touch. We didn’t meet the owners (apparently our dog did) however they are at hand if needed just very discreet. We enjoyed having breakfast each morning watching so many bird species on the feeder and in the garden. We were sad to leave and are definitely hoping to return.

“Hello the Powell family obviously a well presented property with a well maintained hot tub we would employ your painter if we lived nearer, a few hiccups but they were put right immediately.”

I'm sure everyone says we will come again and hopefully we can to, great enclosed area for our Ryley, enjoyed the pub, the walk to Llwellyns cave, the castle remains almost in the back garden and of course the bungalow and somehow we always have pleasant weather. Happy farming. Thank you.

Kevin April 2024

“The house is very spacious, clean and well equipped.”

The views from all rooms are beautiful. The information booklet is excellent for the house issues and for advice about the area. It is a property in a calm and relaxing place, ideal for a holiday for all ages.

- Kevin, April 2024
Fiona April 2024

“Exceptionally clean house.”

We thought the information pack and especially the laminated wifi information was a thoughtful touch as were the fresh flowers and baked scones. Couldn't fault this accommodation or location and would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Claire March 2024

“We enjoyed such a relaxing stay at Pen Y Maes.”

The bungalow was warm, clean and welcoming. The owners were friendly, approachable and on hand if needed. It was very spacious, giving us lots of space to spread out (important with teenagers!) and the enclosed garden was perfect for the dog. Hot tub was very warm and a nice bonus. The surrounding countryside was incredibly peaceful and we enjoyed some lovely local walks around the village. We loved our stay here and would love to return.

- Claire, March 2024
Avril March 2024

“This was our third visit.”

As always the bungalow was immaculately clean and every item you would need was thought of. It's like home from home. Our dog enjoyed staying too, there are walks from the garden which is good for dogs that are reactive to cars. Just be mindful of the sheep that graze there, so dogs must be on a lead. The garden is full of birds, many that we don't see at home. It would of been nice to have sat ours if The weather had been better. The hot tub was a bonus and seen to everyday, we never saw anyone come, they are that discrete. Thank you for a lovely break

- Avril, March 2024
Vanessa March 2024

“Absolutely fantastic stay at this property, beautiful inside and out, everything you could need.”

I do have to look hard to find any criticism, and the only thing I can think of which could be improved is the size of the towels provided for the hot tub! Just to note, if you are staying with large dogs, the wire fence between the garden and the surrounding sheep is only approx 1meter tall. Didn’t impact us at all as our dogs are good boys and would never attempt to get out, however, it could easily be cleared if your dog has that nature! We will certainly be back, and can’t wait to meet the overly friendly sheep again!! Thank you to the hosts for your fabulous facilities.

- Vanessa, March 2024

“Had a lovely stay at Pen y Maes.”

Everything you could need was provided. Beds were comfortable, place soon warmed up with central heating and a wood burner. Great kitchen and powerful showers. Hot tub was great and a lovely enclosed garden for the dog to run around in. Loads of birds in the garden to watch was an added bonus along with the welsh cakes on arrival. Hosts sent us a welcome message and we knew they would be available if we needed anything but they did not intrude on us. Perfect holidsy really and we shall be booking again in the future.

- Nicola, January 2024
Louise September 2023

“It’s a fabulous spacious bungalow with a well appointed kitchen The hot tub is super and it’s bigger than some hotel ones.”

Looking out over the fields while having a soak, bliss. The local pub is a community pub, it’s open every day, does lovely home cooked food and is only 100yds away.

- Louise, September 2023
Paula September 2023

“Outstanding bungalow, beautiful gardens and glorious hot tub.”

Very spacious home from home really can’t fault anything about our stay here I could have easily moved in forever. Beds are super comfy and every room immaculate. Every window in the property is like looking at an amazing picture views/ landscape/ garden are just beautiful. Can’t thank you enough for such a find of a holiday home

“Hidden little gem.”

Spotlessly clean, great facilities and most importantly comfortable beds.

- Jennifer, July 2023
Christine July 2023

“The property is very nice and in a super location but garden neglected.”

Grass not cut, lots of long thistles and weeds and bushes that look like they not been strimmed for ages and blocking view. The shower in en suite far too small. Anyone over 10 stone would struggle to get in. Also cottage listed for six people but only four seats in lounge.

- Christine, July 2023
Alison July 2023

“Perfect cottage for our relaxing girly weekend There was plenty of room, lovely layout, plenty of towels, gorgeous hot tub, just everything we needed.”

Lovely pub at the end of the short lane too. Thank you Delyth x

Lorraine June 2023

“Could not have asked for more the property is absolutely beautiful and so are the surroundings, if you are looking for a quiet relaxing time then this property is the one for you.”

Completely dog friendly the garden is secure and there is the bonus of the hot tub what more could you want

- Lorraine, June 2023
Carmen March 2023

“Fantastic location, bedrooms perfect, 2 bathrooms great.”

Kitchen well set out with comfortable dining area. Living room spacious but sofa only suitable for 4 people, sofas not comfortable as you sink into them so I was unable to use as it affected my back and I couldn't get up. Kitchen needed oven baking tray and better knives as the knives weren't sharp. Bathroom shower tiles were mouldy and needed deep clean, as did windows around the property, probably due to condensation but hadn't been cleaned for a while especially the kitchen. Waste bin in kitchen was dirty inside although bin bag covers the dirt. A 10am checkout didn't justify the deep clean issues/ covid as didn't the 5pm checkin. 7 hours of cleaning didn't seem to represent the cleanliness of areas, especially as guests we had to strip bedding, etc. We would return as it is a beautiful place, lovely cake from the owner.

- Carmen, March 2023
Hannah March 2023

“Fantastic property in a beautiful location.”

Bungalow had everything we could of needed. Hot tub was a perfect addition. Owners were extremely helpful and flowers and cake on arrival were a beautiful bonus. Will definitely return.

Chris February 2023

“Cottage was perfect, and very accurately described.”

Really pretty and private location with stunning surrounds. The hot tub was a real luxury and our kids loved it. The garden was also perfect and enclosed for our two dogs. Delyth also communicated amazingly with us when there was an issue with the drive up to the house on the first night and was really helpful. Definitely coming back!

Emma October 2022

“Very spacious, clean and well equipped bungalow.”

Flowers & home baked cake on arrival made it very welcoming. Garden totally enclosed so our terriers failed to escape! Spacious hot tub was much appreciated after days out walking. Excellent pub grub at the end of the lane was a bonus. Had a good night's sleep every night, so quiet and peaceful.

“Beautiful property in an extremely private and peaceful setting.”

Excellent base for visiting the surrounding area, the garden was great for our two dogs, and the hot tub perfect for us.

- Mary, August 2022
Steven July 2022

“A beautiful property surrounded by beautiful and breathtaking scenery.”

The proximity of a quality pub was much appreciated! Nice food and friendly staff is a bonus too. Pottery with Alex AllPress in Built highly recommended along with a relaxing boat trip on the Brecon canal with Dragonfly Cruises. The hot tub was a delight and extra touches such as a scrumptious cake and welcoming flowers just added to our enjoyment for the week. Plenty of home comforts so all you need to do is sit back and relax, take in a spot of bird watching and let the bubbles in the hot tub wash away your stresses! Thank you!

- Steven, July 2022

Leanne April 2022

“Pen Y Maes is a fantastic cottage.”

Spotlessly clean, very comfy beds and the dog enjoyed the large enclosed garden. Having the hot tub was a great addition. Delyth is a great host. We arrived to a delicious Victoria sponge. We were made to feel very welcome. Thankyou for a wonderful stay. Would definitely return.

Graham April 2022

“Absolutely fantastic cottage with everything that we needed.”

The dogs loved the enclosed Garden and had a great week. Plenty of great walks obviously and we would definitely recommend Elan valley. Visited the friendly local pub which is just at the end of the drive a few times for food and drinks all great

- Graham, April 2022
Julie February 2022

“A lovely spacious property in a peaceful location with everything you need for a relaxing stay.”

The birds in the garden were a pleasure to watch and the hot tub was super! We could do lots of walks straight from the door which was a bonus. The owners were very helpful. We arrived in a power cut and Delyth had got a roaring fire going in the wood burner and provided us with torches and lit lots of candles.

- Julie, February 2022
Fiona February 2022

“We booked this for a surprise 60th Birthday stay for our family of 6.”

Easy to access, great parking, completely spotless, wonderful facilities. We had a wonderful break away the added touch of homemade Welsh cakes were delicious and demolished well! Thank you. Added addition of the hot tub was a huge plus and one of the reasons we booked it. Watching the birds outside was an added bonus with the helpful book. The local pub seven stars is also worth a visit for food or an afternoon drink and a game of darts. Thank you Pen Y Maes X

- Fiona, February 2022
Rebecca January 2022

“Beautiful bungalow in a perfect setting.”

Spotlessly clean with everything you would need for your stay. The fresh flowers and homemade cake on arrival were such a personal touch.

“One of the nicest cottages I’ve stayed at.”

Came here with a group of friends I’ve not seen for a while. The cottage was perfect and had everything we needed and the location was so peaceful. Beds were very comfy and the whole cottage was clean and welcoming: really appreciated the welcoming cake too! Hot tub was such a luxurious extra, was huge and really clean and easy to use. There were lots of lovely walks from the cottage and would recommend popping into Builth wells for groe parkrun! Would 100% recommend and would love to stay again!

- Steph, November 2021
Stephen October 2021

“The best holiday cottage we have ever stayed at.”

Comfy beds, a well stocked kitchen, and a lovely hot tub compliment this clean and spacious cottage. The garden is completely dog friendly and secure. There was even a lovely homemade cake on arrival. We had a very positive experience. Thank you.

- Stephen, October 2021
Kay August 2021

“The cleanliness of the bungalow was spotless with comfy beds and sofas.”

The kitchen was well equipped for us to prepare meals plus we made use of the bbq twice. We were impressed with the size of the hot tub - it was much larger than they normally are. The garden is beautiful, very private with amazing views. We went on several local walks directly from the back garden gate plus visited the local pub for a meal. We really didn’t want to come home at the end of our seven day stay.

- Kay, August 2021
Claire July 2021

“We had an amazing week at the cottage.”

It was lovely and clean and had everything that you needed. Weather was so good to us so managed to enjoy lots of walks in aberedw and surrounding places. Very dog and child friendly garden, completely enclosed with a gate at the back to fields. Went to the local pub, really nice pub food however it was a long wait.

- Claire, July 2021
Mary July 2021

“Beautiful detached bungalow with a lovely enclosed dog friendly garden and an amazing hot tub.”

The area surrounding the property is very picturesque and so peaceful. The dog friendly local pub is a few minutes walk away and very quaint. Walks from the doorstep and only a short drive to discover and enjoy longer walks - Elan Valley is a must!

- Mary, July 2021
Brian July 2021

“Idyllic spot.”

. Very peaceful and private. Hot tub was one of the best we have every used. Cakes and flowers on arrival were a lovely touch. Accommodation was very good - plenty of space and facilities. Garden very good size and enclosed for the dog. Only slight criticism was the bathroom towels which were rather thin and rough. Would take our own next time. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Beautiful walks all around. Seven Stars pub at the end of the driveway was excellent. Very friendly staff and good food.. All in all a brilliant holiday and would definitely return.

- Brian, July 2021

Lovely holiday - We had a lovely home made cake to arrive to and some lovely fresh flowers greeted us as well The property is situated in such a lovely location with wild life all around particularly different species of birds Would recommend and wouldn’t think twice about returning

- Jay, May 2021
Anthony May 2021

“The cottage was lovely.”

A nice cake also waiting on arrival was a lovely touch. The one thing I would change (and this is probably only me) is the TV. It is quite old and no smart features. Also, TVs in the bedrooms would be good. Other than that, it was a perfect stay. The garden was lovely and it was nice sitting and watching the birds. The got tub was also a great little treat

- Anthony, May 2021
Barbara May 2021

“I have booked my holidays with Sykes for many years and always been very satisfied with the service.”

Pen - y - Maes is a fantastic holiday home set in amazingly beautiful and peaceful countryside. It is well presented and well equipped including a wonderful hot tub. The owners are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it and we are booked to go again next year.

- Barbara, May 2021
Yvonne April 2021

“Well what an amazing place to stay!”

The bed was so comfy, I loved watching all the birds on the feeder. The hottub is massive and the views were amazing from it. The bungalow had so much room and so dog friendly. The views all around the cottage were fantastic, the sun shines in the bungalow all day long.thete are walks out of the back gate from the bungalow. There was a gorgeous home made cake on arrival. We've stayed in Many properties over the years this was the best, it's so clean and tidy and I didn't want to go home.

Julia April 2021

“We spent a fantastic Easter weekend at Pen y Maes.”

A real gem in the mid Wales countryside. The home-baked cake awaiting our arrival was a lovely gesture and the property exceeded all our expectations. Everything was perfect and our dog was able to run around the secure and private garden without us having to worry. The hot tub went down a treat, especially in the snow! Thanks again for helping us make some wonderful memories.

- Julia, April 2021
Anna November 2020

“Photos didn’t do this haven justice - a beautiful setting with private welsh countryside views.”

Totally private, huge garden, massive hot tub - the biggest we’ve ever seen, watched the birds feeding outside from the dining table, immaculately clean, modernised throughout, spacious, lovely real woodburner, homemade cake awaiting our arrival. Had two meals out at the local pub The Seven Stars - just had to walk down the drive to get there - really friendly welcoming locals. A talented local man walks his dog across the hill playing his harmonica, stunning church such a peaceful village, wish I lived here! Only advertised as having one bathroom, but it has two really - a nice modern big bath with mixer tap and separate shower, and another en-suite bathroom which has another shower and toilet - so two toilets, two showers and a bath. Really handy utility room with a dog cage - our two dogs actually liked going in there which was their first time in one! - it kept our one year old King Charles calm while we were in the hot tub (as he tried to get in with us!) we all loved it!

“This was the best Christmas we have ever had!”

Thank you so much for such a magical experience. Everything was perfect and exceeded expectations (which were already very high) The bungalow was cosy and beautifully decorated for Christmas, a yummy cake and Christmas cupcakes were a lovely surprise. The hot tub was huge and we spent each evening relaxing as a family. Location was perfection, nestled between the beautiful Welsh hills! Thank you for allow us to stay in your beautiful home and allowing us to make memories that will last a life time. We can’t wait to come visit again!

- Joe, December 2019
Barbara November 2019

“Bungalow very spacious & spotlessly clean.”

We managed to cook all our meals though another frying pan would have been perfect. The rooms are all large & well equipped, if I had to criticise it would be that the only TV in the Bungalow is quite small! The garden is wonderful & the hot tub is massive! Perfect for relaxing after dark as the whole are is well lit. We met the owners when we arrived & they were very friendly and welcoming, we even had a cake left for us! We’ve had some fabulous holidays thanks to Sykes Cottages & this one is one of the best. Can’t wait to go back.

“Spacious and very clean accomodation.”

Perfect neighbours (sheep). Dogs loved the wrap around garden, which is enclosed once the gate is shut. We would revisit this property.

- Stephen, September 2019
John September 2019

“We were so lucky because the weather was lovely so we had nice walks with our dog!”

The nearness of the wonderful pub , the seven stars, was amazing and we often are there. As usual with Sykes cottages we were well looked after and will be booking another holiday soon.

- John, September 2019
Jane August 2019

“Really lovely property.”

Spacious and spotlessly clean. Lovely peaceful spot. Garden perfect for dogs, well fenced and safe. The hot tub is huge, greatly enjoyed by all. Was lovely to be able to stroll to the re-opened village pub, very welcoming, good food. Lovely area on your doorstep but a good base if you want to explore further afield with Elan Valley, Brecon Beacons, Black Mountain etc all within easy reach.

- Jane, August 2019
Daniel August 2019

“Our family thoroughly enjoyed a week in this beautiful bungalow with incredible surroundings.”

We had everything we could possibly need to relax and made great use of the hot tub. We were happy to see the local pub has reopened and enjoyed lunch and a few drinks here. If you are looking for a peacful getaway with sheep for neighbour's then we would strongly recoment this wonderful place. Delith (owner) couldnt bee more friendly and made is feel very welcome on her visits to check the hot tub.

S July 2019

“A lovely bungalow in a beautiful setting!”

Hot tub helped! Especially in the hot weather we were lucky to have. Five of us all found it very convenient in our travels backwards and forwards to the Royal Welsh. Met the owner, extremely lovely lady. Have already recommended it to friends of mine.

- S, July 2019
Barbara May 2019

“The cottage and it's surroundings were absolutely perfect.”

The cottage is very private, set in picturesque, peaceful countryside where all you can hear are the birds and the sheep. The interior is very clean and comfortable and has all the amenities that you could want from a holiday let. There is a private garden (with garden furniture) which is a wonderful sun trap, perfect for relaxing in with a cup of tea or glass of wine and if this isn't enough, there is the most amazing hot tub in which we spent many a happy hour. The cottage is also well situated as a base from which to explore Wales. We were made to feel welcome on our arrival with the added bonus of flowers and a lovely cake, there was comprehensive information about the local area (shops, eating places etc) provided and the friendly owners were available for any queries that we had. One small issue - the post code provided by Sykes for the property was incorrect and we had to ask at one of the local houses for directions.

- Barbara, May 2019
Linda April 2019

“Owner left cake and flowers for us on arrival - lovely touch!”

The pictures do not do this property justice and there are views out of every window. If you want a peaceful and relaxing break this is ideal. Shame the pub (literally a few hundred yards away) is currently unoccupied as nowhere to eat/drink in walking distance. However there is a large fridge/freezer in the utility room as well as a fridge in the kitchen so plenty of room for a delivered shop to buy in your own treats. The garden is totally secure and there is a crate for your dog bed in the utility room - ideal for 2 small/1medium sized dogs. Flexi-leads are handy here as lots of sheep around when out walking. Idyllic place!

- Linda, April 2019
Jamie March 2019

“We had the most peaceful, relaxing and wonderful time at Pen Y Maes.”

- Susan, October 2018
Avril October 2018

“We have stayed at lots of self catering holiday cottages and this one beats them all, it was very comfy and had everything that you could possible need for everyone including the dog.”

Having a gate from the garden onto a public footpath over the castle ruins was fabulous, it meant we didn't need to walk near traffic which our dog is reactive to. Will be visiting again in the future.

It was so peaceful and relaxing you do not here a sound night or day and the hot tub was excellent especially after a day walking up snowdon

“We enjoyed or stay ,it was relaxing, peaceful and all together a great break .”

The hot tub was lovely , the only thing I would comment on is the fact you had to walk up some steps to get to it as it is away from the bungalow at the top of the garden ,that's ok in daylight but at night and after it rained it was a bit tricky as the steps got a bit slippery , other than that the bungalow is beautiful and comfortable .

The property

A stunning 1980's style red brick bungalow, tucked away down a little lane in the hamlet village of Aberedw in Builth Wells.

Everything about this fantastic property portrays style and modern elegance; there are three beautifully capacious bedrooms all with superb countryside views, a home ideally suited to families or friends.

A rural setting surrounded by the property gardens, fully enclosed so it is suitable for children and pets with views overlooking glorious open fields and access onto a footpath over the old castle hill.

The cottage has an open-plan kitchen and dining area with a beautiful dining table and stunning views out through the French doors into the garden.

You also have the added utility room, with fridge/freezer and washing machine so you have an advantage of extra space in the kitchen area.

The sitting room features a lovely wood burner, so if you're feeling chilly during the winter season, turn up the heat and get cosy on the deluxe leather sofas.

You will be overwhelmed by the panoramic, picturesque views from the garden which features a barbecue and exceptionally large hot tub, so why not take a nice hot soak after a long day of country hiking before your evening meal, should you choose to dine indoors or out, you have the option.

In Builth Wells, just a 10-minute drive away is the RWAS showground, home of the Royal Welsh Show, hosting other big public events all-year-round.

The highlights are the Spring Festival held in May for smallholding, gardening and sustainable living enthusiasts and the Winter Fair, held in December which features livestock displays and a huge Christmas market.

Hay-on-Wye is a 20 minute drive in the opposite direction which features historic sites, mountainous walks and many shops to visit.

Pen Y Maes is of superb quality and professional finish throughout with lovely modern fixtures, an ideal holiday location, sitting just below the ruins of historical Aberedw Castle.
