Upper Bull Pen Reviews

Emma and Liam

Really enjoyed our stay, peaceful, well-equipped, highly recommend!

Emma Carter

We had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless and super comfy, with a well-equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. There's plenty of space to unwind, whether in the dining area or just relaxing quietly elsewhere. The hot tub was a real treat after a day exploringand the play area for kids looked great-though we didn't use it. The games room was impressive, packed with bats, ballsand more. Dark skies and rural surroundings made for perfect stargazing. About 6 miles from Brecon, plenty of pubs nearby for meals. We'd definitely come back!

Emma

Really enjoyed our stay here. The hot tub was a lovely touch after long walks in the Brecon Beacons. It's well-placed for exploring the Elan Valley too, perfect for a peaceful getaway!

Jessica

Wow, what a lovely stay! The cottage was absolutely charming, nestled in such a peaceful part of the countryside. We loved the cosy log burner and the hot tub - perfect after a day exploring. The beds were super comfyand having the EV charger was a real lifesaver. We didn't do much walking, just a quick trip into Brecon, but the surrounding lanes are quite scenic. We'd definitely come back!

Emily Carter

We had an amazing stay here! The cottage is beautifully decorated with top-quality furniture and well-equipped kitchen stuff. The beds were super comfyand the bathrooms were lovely. It's so peaceful and quiet, perfect for relaxing. We appreciated the thoughtful welcome pack - wine, Welshcakes, crispsand milk - such a lovely touch. The TV has Netflix and Amazon Prime, so we weren't bored. Can't wait to come back in summer and sit outside on the decking, soaking in the view. Just 20 mins to Brecon too!

Clara

This is the second time we have stayed at Upper Bull Pen. It's well equipped and comfortable accommodation in a beautiful setting. We were really grateful for the log burner last November and a soak in the hot tub has been very welcome this year after a day's walking. The outdoor area takes full advantage of the views. There are loads of walking paths nearby and interesting towns like Brecon and Crickhowell to explore.

Ryan

We had an absolutely sensational weekend here, loads of space and everything we needed. It was a bit of a drive from our place but totally worth itand Helen was super helpful too. We can't praise her or the place enough! Can't give more than 5 stars but it was simply fantastic! Would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future!

What a lovely getaway this is! It's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You really feel like you are surrounded by beautiful greenery, completely away from it all. It's just great for chilling out and enjoying that much-needed break.

What a beautiful cottage! We had such a lovely stay here, it was everything we hoped for!

This property is just gorgeous and set in a stunning location, though it was a bit too remote for us. The attention to detail from the owners is fantastic and having that hot tub was a lovely treat after our long walks each day!
