The Bull Pens, Brecon

The Bull Pens is a stunning split-level barn conversion in the quiet hills beyond Brecon and Sennybridge in the Brecon Beacons. This 5-star rated property combines two separate barns with enough communal space for everyone plus private areas when you need a break from Aunt Mabel's stories. The property sits in peaceful Welsh countryside - perfect for those who want scenery without the selfie sticks.

Located 6 miles northwest of Brecon, you're surrounded by the raw beauty of the Beacons. Days here can be spent hiking the hills, exploring local towns, or simply watching the clouds drift by from your private hot tub with a favourite drinker than Welsh water. The night skies are so dark you can actually use the provided telescope without seeing your neighbor's security light.

The accommodation is divided into Lower and Upper Bull Pens, each with identical kitchens featuring electric ovens, slow cookers, microwaves, fridge/freezers, dishwashers and washing machines. All four bedrooms have their own bathrooms - no more morning queues or awkward encounters in towels. The property sleeps 8 comfortably across its 4 bedrooms, with one downstairs for those who find stairs challenging after a day's walking (or drinking).

Nearby, you'll find the historic town of Brecon (15 minutes), the stunning Pen y Fan mountain (25 minutes), the magnificent Henrhyd Falls (30 minutes) and the fascinating Dan-yr-Ogof caves (25 minutes). Each offers a perfect day out between hot tub sessions.

The Bull Pens is ideal for family gatherings or friends' reunions. With a games barn, children's play frame and that glorious hot tub, you might forget to actually visit the Beacons.
