I stayed in the Hayloft. My hosts could not have been more charming. The Hayloft was beautifully furnished and much care had gone into it. The one thing that I think let it down was the quality of the beds - 4 singles - the mattress lacked support and you could actually feel the springs in it. I think a mattress upgrade would match the high quality bedding that is provided. The only other thing was that the fridge was switched off and open when I arrived. Maybe this is the way it is done in Britain, but I did miss having somewhere cold to put drinks / supplies, arriving on a hot summer evening. Food for thought. That said, this is high quality accommodation.

This is an adorable B&B with lovely hosts. Easy to park, check in, and very cosy. Definitely has the cottage farmhouse appeal to it. And breakfast was amazing. What a great find!
I didn’t have wifi in my room, but I could get good wifi by sitting on the steps outside the cottages while admiring the view!

Great place and lovely people
Breakfast isn’t included as hotel. Com says on my booking as it’s self catering so be prepared
Bed could do with replacement as two singles put together is very uncomfortable for a couple
But overall lovely

Nice an peaceful ideal if you don’t need TV

A beautiful cottage with old fashioned style.. the owners were so welcoming and kind.. unfortunately there are no tellys in the rooms which I should have checked before hand so this is not no ones fault but my biggest concern was the fly infestation in our bedroom surrounding the curtains.. when I closed them I disrupted them an it filled the room with flies.. the lady (rose I think) was besides her self an was quickly there to help hoover them up an spray the remainder of flies but by this point I asked to move room which again was no trouble at all.. we was located downstairs in a smaller double room but it was absolutely fine but we was told the bathroom next door was not in use because her husband used it to which I was very disappointed at the thought of having to go all the way back upstairs to use the toilet? But within 10 mins rose came an cleaned the bathroom next to us meaning we didn’t have to use the upstairs bathroom which was a godsend as I’d climed pen y fan in the day an my legs were in bits!!!
So breakfast was at 8am from our own choice an we had a range of condiments available an we had our breakfast cooked along with fresh coffee.. by this point we was ready to come away but even though we had an issue with the flies an no telly the owners were lovely an kind an couldn’t be more helpful.

Amazing journey to get to this place, helpful owners, lovely grounds, very, very peaceful. We had small room in the house which understandably does NOT have a television which was fine for us but might not be to some's taste but did have an eclectic mix of books and a radio. Very large bathroom with loo were our sole use next door much better than ensuite in my opinion. Lots of character, slightly sloping floors, great pictures on the wall. Would definitely go again and recommend. Holiday cottages are different to this and no doubt have tvs.

Rare hidden gem

The perfect place to escape the hustle & bustle. Wi-fi only not even a tv in our room (perfect). I forgot the importance of a normal conversation and what a delight it was. Rose was an absolute diamond and a real trooper. Creaky floorboards and clunky doors simply add to a picturesque old farm house, loved it. The natural stone floors down stairs are to die for. The breakfast was perfect and plenty of it with gorgeous fresh coffee and apple juice. Only 4 miles outside Brecon it's perfect for the adventurous and again the views from our room were stunning. The room and and as a whole was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfy stay. The track leading up to the farm house is a bit potholey but I have to say it seemed to be in perfect keeping with the location and the whole experience, it didn't bother me one little bit. I am absolutely going make this my little hidden gataway for our future trips to the Brecons. Fabulous I can't recommend it enough and will be recommending to others.

Idyllic farm just outside Brecon

We stayed overnight as we wanted to have an early start in the mountains; despite arriving late we were warmly welcomed and shown to our spacious and incredibly comfortable room. The farm itself is a delight with the garden looking splendid in late June and a very friendly dog.
Our hills day started with a fantastic breakfast and we were gone, on reflection we would have loved to have stayed longer and to have seen more of the garden or relaxed in the comfortable farmhouse. . Next time we come to Brecon we will certainly try and base ourselves here again.

Peaceful retreat

We stayed for one night in April in the family room. The farm is in a beautiful spot near Brecon so there are lovely views wherever you look although watching the Black Welsh sheep, the chickens and the guinea fowl in the field from the sitting room gave us the most entertainment.
We were warmly greeted by Patrick and Rose and given great tips for dinner options and things to do in the area. The room was comfortable and spacious with tea, coffee, kettle provided and lovely crisp bedlinen. Despite the fact that animals were all around we all slept soundly with no early morning farm noise. Breakfast was huge and very tasty with homemade apple juice and rhubarb compôte among the highlights. Very relaxing and peaceful. We have booked to go again.

What a wonderful stay we had in Rose and Patrick's beautiful home. Our stay stuck the right balance between being welcomed into a friendly home and still having our own privacy to come and go as we pleased. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in close proximity to the Beacons, but also anyone who just wants to escape and relax in beautiful surroundings.

Quaint home from home

We booked for six of us to stay at Alltybrain Farm Cottages, as we were attending wedding renewal celebrations nearby.

The owner of the farm was there to greet us, in a warm and welcoming manner.

We were shown to our rooms which were all immaculately kept and breakfast the next day was at a time we preferred. Breakfast included a variety of options - fruit, yoghurt, cereals, toast and of course a cooked breakfast.

If you love traditional and fancy some peace and quiet, this is the place for you.

If you prefer privacy, then I recommend you stay at the Hayloft. As this is separate from the main house and comes with it's own lounge and kitchen area.

Thank-you for your hospitality.

A Great Escape from London

We arrived at this beutiful cottage and were greated by our fantastic hosts. The Cottage is set on a beauiful farm with sheep chickens, horses and many other animals, our little one who is 2 was in animal heaven. The gardens where beautiful and we had an evening stoll or two. The cottage its self was stunning and very comfortable, we had the hole top floor (family Rooms) The beds where comforatble and it was like staying at a home from home. We had no TV and I must say it was amazing. We had plenty of family time and it was nice not having a TV to distract us. The cottage is set in a beautiful part of Wales with an easy drive into town and into the moutains and surrounding forests and Waterfalls. Rose was our host and she was amazing, it was like staying with family. Nothing was to much trouble and breakfast was so tasty. I would highly recomend this B&B is you want to relax switch off and have some important family time. I can wait to return....

Country escape

Charming country escape, that allows you to be cut off from technology and enjoy being present in the moment with people. Rooms don't contain TVs, but who needs a TV when your bedroom window frames the farming landscape allowing you to be entertained by nature from the comfort of your bed. Truly relaxing and peaceful. The owners are a warm and welcoming couple allowing you to feel like friends rather than guests.

Star gazing in Wales

A lovely place to stay for a night if you are passing through Wales. Arriving early, we were greeted in the driveway by the very friendly free range chickens, and ambled through the beautiful gardens with the farm dogs while our room was being made up. (Make sure that you arrive by 4pm to enjoy a homemade cake with your afternoon cup of tea.) My daughter & I stayed in the spacious twin room which, together with the private bathroom, occupies the entire top floor. The owner, Rose, is charming and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious, and served at our chosen time. We would return in a heartbeat.
