Llys Faen Reviews

Mark
Great stay, would definitely return
Alex
Our weekend at the barn was fantastic! Plenty of room for everyoneand the hot tub was a real highlight. We felt really relaxed and appreciated the warm hospitality from our host. Top notch stay!
James
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was perfect for two families and had everything we needed. The owner was super helpful and flexible. The Griffin pub just a couple of minutes away was lovely. Great spot for exploring the River Wye, Brecon, Hay-on-Wyeand other parts of the Brecon Beacons. Definitely recommend!
Emma Collins
The barn was spacious and beautifully converted, perfect for our group. The owners were super friendly and available if needed. Our teenagers loved the hot tub, though it was quite warm when we visited, so we kept the windows open. Being on a busy main road meant some noise, but overall a lovely spot to base ourselves for exploring!
Emma Clarke
We loved the house! Plenty of room for everyoneand it really made our Christmas special. It's well-equippedand Liz and Steve were so friendly and helpful. We're definitely planning to come back in the summer, fingers crossed the weather improves!
Emma
Liz and Steve were really friendly and easy to contact both before and during our stay. The barn is super spacious, spotlessand has everything you'd need. The indoor hot tub was a real treat, especially after a long drive. We were a group of friends looking for a chill weekendand it definitely delivered. When we arrived, there was a lovely welcome pack, which was a nice touch, but we'd also ordered a grocery delivery since we weren't sure what was in the village. The local cafe served delicious foodand The Griffin pub offered a fantastic Sunday roast plus a decent takeaway menu. We'd definitely come back!
Ellie
What a lovely spot! Tucked just outside the Brecon Beacons, this place was spotless and had everything we could ask for. The hot tub was perfect after a long day's walk. The hosts were super helpful and nearby if we needed anything. Only issue was the main road outside, which was a bit noisy at night when the windows were open. Still, we'd definitely recommend staying here. Really enjoyed our stay!
