Review of The Bull Pens
Reviews from our community
1 review We had a fantastic break in Wales which was made most enjoyable by our time spent at the bull pens. The accommodation is first class in a lovely part of the country. We had a lovely welcome gift of wine, cheese and welsh cakes which were much appreciated. The cottage is modern but kept the traditional feel of a country home. The kitchen is well equipped and the whole place is spotless. Both Fiona and Bryan are great hosts and we were made to feel very welcome. We will definitely recommend to friends with no hesitation and are sure to visit again.

What a wonderful place to stay. The weather was amazing - eatin g breakfast in the sunshine in the middle of March. Both properties are equipped to the highest standards and thw owners - who live next door - couldn't have been more obliging. We played a great golf course at Cradoc, visited the farmers' market and went for a wonderful walk on the mountainside behind the farm where we saw March Hares dancing.
I cannot proase this development highly enough and recommend it to anyone.

2nd year staying at the bull pens, 8 of us stay on a golfing weekend in Brecon. The standard of finish and detail is exceptional. Large open lounge and kitchens in both sections make a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Bedrroms are really well appointed and comfortable with good qulaity showers. All are immaculate and well kept. This would be a great location for walkers or anyone staying in and around Brecon as 15 mins from town centre. Brian & Fiona have done an amazing transformation, they are exceleent hosts making the stay very enjoyable.

We rented both the Lower and Upper Bull Pens as four couples all in our mid twenties. We went to enjoy the Brecon Beacons and spend some time in the outdoors. We spent days looking for suitable cottages and we’re very pleased when we found The Bull Pens. The pictures although great don’t do it justice, it’s very spacious and beautifully finished. We used the lower bull pen as our base and only really used the upper bull pen for the two bedrooms and extra space. Both would work very well independently if you only needed two bedrooms.
The local area is full of things to do, we did a couple of amazing walks including Pen Y Fan and the stunning waterfall walk. We also hired bikes from Brecon and Canoes from Celtic Canoe Hire both were great days out. We saw plenty of stunning golf courses but only had time to play Cradoc just down the road, a beautiful course with some great views.
Bryan and Fiona were really helpful in the booking process and for the whole week we were there. They are a lovely couple and made us feel very welcome, they even came and go us when one of there cows was calfing – a great thing to experience.
Overall we can’t recommend the Bull Pens enough, the cottage is the perfect place to relax after a day out in Wales and we will definitely be returning soon.
