Penybont Barn a cosy riverside barn conversion in Llangorse, the Brecon Beacons

Wonderful property in great location
Great property, well presented and very clean. Ideally located for exploring the Brecon Beacons, and the village is lovely. The pub opposite is particularly convenient, welcoming and well-priced. The walled garden, just a short hop across the shared gravel driveway was secure and ideal for the dog. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful
Loved the barn, really spacious and beautifully decorated. Amazing shower and kitchen facilities and beds were very comfy. Didn't spend too much time in the little garden ~ couldn't really see/hear the stream from the garden but it may have been very low as we were there during a heatwave week. Easy to get around the Brecons which are outstanding.

Bigger than it looks!
The pictures do not full do this property justice! It is much bigger than it might look with plenty of space for the pair of us and the dog. Both bedrooms are a really good size and comfortably fit the king beds. Upstairs is also big and airy. Getting the heating just right when cold took some getting used to, but when we read the advice in the guest book it made more sense! Beautiful location, great facilities and just so peaceful. Brecon is a short drive away for all your supplies and the nearby lake is a 10min walk and well worth a visit. An excellent property and we will be booking here again next time we want to stay in mid Wales.
