“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 you’re 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.

“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 house…we 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!!

- Kayleigh, October 2024

It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for your kind comments. Please come again - you must try our house in the sun sometime. Best wishes Robert Property Owner

“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. I’ve never seen a holiday property so we’ll 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

- Odette, September 2024

Thank you for all that. kind regards Property Owner

“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

- Glenda, September 2024

Your remarks are appreciated Do return. Kind regards Property Owner

Jennifer August 2024

“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 July 2024

“We have just come home from a week at the beautiful Pen Bont home farm and it certainly didn’t disappoint.”

We feel like the photos, although incredible don’t 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. You’re the best!

- Victoria, July 2024

“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.

Kate May 2024

“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 no-one! The decor is tasteful and comforting I would definitely recommend staying here and would love to return.

“What an absolute Gem!”

Can’t 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 there’s 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 you’re launched into 500 acres of wild Brecon Landscape where you’re free to roam, or drive 5 mins away 8th the MOD owned land and you’re 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 you’re only 10-15 mins from Brecon, shops and restaurants are all in striking distance. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t be disappointed and if you get the opportunity have a chat with the owners and locals, they’re great people who are warm and welcoming.

- David, May 2024

Thank you for your review and your very kind comments. We are delighted that you had an enjoyable stay at Pen Bont Home Farm. We hope you will come again. Property Owner

Anthony December 2023

“WOW, we booked the property because it looked good in the photographs on the website but in truth it was so much better in reality.”

It is a beautiful house, comfortable and very well maintained and caters for the needs of all ages. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay as enjoyable and as fulfilling as possible all in beautiful surroundings. We went on some lovely local walks, the children loved the play area and the games room is a real bonus. You really do not have to stray too far because everything is there for you to have a marvellous break. I would highly recommend this house for a family/friends gathering and I would undoubtedly love to return.

Ben September 2023

“Pen Bont Home Farm provided us (family of 4 + 1 dog) with everything we needed, and much, much more.”

We've stayed in many properties over the years, but the attention to detail in this place is second to none. The location is great to explore central Wales, with multiple walks on your doorstep. Pen Y Fan national trust carpark is just a short drive south. The cleanliness was top draw, the amenities a real hit, particularly the games room and the WiFi throughout the property and games room etc, was excellent. All in all, a truly magnificent stay, helped by the unseasonable weather of course

“A stunning property in wonderful surroundings.”

We had a fabulous family holiday to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. The lovely, friendly owners have thought of everything you could possibly want and more. There were lots of lovely little touches like pet towels and feeding bowls in the utility room, and a lovely welcome basket on arrival, and books and board games in the study, even tea towels in the kitchen The games room is amazing and has everything you could need for a rainy day. We had a fun time exploring the grounds and the dog and us particularly enjoyed the stream, several games of 'pooh sticks' were played. Thank you so much for a memorable stay, we will definitely be back.

The property

Brecon and Builth Wells 8 miles.

Resting in the rolling green countryside of Upper Chapel in Powys lies Pen Bont Home Farm, a fabulous, family-friendly, pet-friendly holiday home.

With a children's play area and a large games room, this home is ideal for a family gathering or a special occasion.

Inside, the home is beautifully equipped with character features and plenty of home comforts for a relaxing self-catered stay.

The ground floor is home to a spacious kitchen/diner, a lovely space for the designated chef to show off their skills while the family awaits a feast at the dining table for ten.

From here, the sitting room offers a space to relax in front of the woodburning stove, while the study provides space to break away and unwind, should you need it, or even do some office work as a printer is provided.

Upstairs, four tastefully decorated bedrooms welcome you to sleep after a busy day of exploring; two super-king-size beds with a zip/link feature mean you have a variety of sleeping options, along with the twin room and a family room, both of which have handy en-suite shower rooms.

Outside, the garden makes a fantastic place for hosting in the warmer months, with its barbecue for alfresco cooking and children's play area to keep the little ones entertained.

When it's time to explore, make your way into Brecon or Builth Wells; in Builth Wells, treat your loved ones to a meal at Teulu Restaurant at Caer Beris Manor or perhaps a more casual bite at the Cosy Corner Bistro, whilst in Brecon there are a variety of places to eat or take away including The Hop In recommended for tapas and craft beers, and Felinfach Griffin an excellent gastro pub.

Even closer to Pen Bont Home Farm is the Lake Country House hotel at Llangammarch Wells 7 miles away, for fine dining and the Pwllgloyw Arms for pub food is the nearest at 5 miles distant.

For avid golf fans, enjoy a round of golf at one of two golf courses in Brecon, along with a further course in Builth Wells.

Walkers and cyclists will not be short of activities in this delightful area, The Epynt Way is within a mile of the property and provides more than 50 miles of scenic and safe walking or cycling close to the military range.

We have interesting river walks on the farm where you can see a variety of birds and animals including kingfishers and the occasional otter.

Make your way to Brecon Canal Basin for a lovely stroll, and the Brecon Beacons National Park is only 6 miles away, the Brecon Beacons are just to the south of Brecon, the National Showcaves Centre for Wales about 25 miles away.

Brecon has 2 interesting museums; Y Gaer Museum Art Gallery and Library, and the Royal Welsh Regimental Museum.

Hay On Wye is a short drive away, which is the town of the book festival but is of interest all year round due to good shopping, interesting restaurants a good market on Thursdays and of course thousands of books.

There is an abundance of natural walking and cycling paths.

Many of these we have documented and provided suggested routes.

There are interesting walks directly from the property.

Access to the farmland is available to all guests who can enjoy our picnic area provided on the riverside.

Whatever the occasion, choose Pen Bont Home Farm as your base
