A lovely and generally well equipped house, which was ideal for an extended family stay for 13 of us. The location was beautiful and the beds and furniture were comfortable. The outdoor hot tub was a treat which we all really enjoyed. A nice enclosed garden and gated drive area are good for outdoor sitting, eating and play.

The house was lovely, with 5 adults and 6 children aged 5 to 11 there was plenty of room for all. The hot tub was great. The location was a bit out of the way but suited us fine as we had plenty of drivers. We all had a fabulous time and would definitely book again.
Michelle
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Pen-y-Glyn Barn for a much-anticipated family get-together. The spacious area provided ample room for our extended family to relax and spend quality time together. The hot tub was a great addition and used daily by most of the family. The drying room was a brilliant addition. The location couldn't have bee n more ideal for exploring both the scenery and the local towns. Helen and Howell were so helpful and ensured our stay was seamless.
Heath
A wonderful holiday home! The place was very comfy and homely, there was lots of space for all 13 (9 adults and 4 kids) of us to relax. The home was clean and there was plenty of bedding and towels for everyone. The hot tub was amazing, just added that extra special touch to the holiday. We would definitely recommend that you stay at this house, th e owners live next door and are always on hand if you need them. A great holiday!
Ian
Our party of 13 people covering an age range of 6 - 70 had a thoroughly enjoyable time staying at Pen Y Glyn Barn. The barn was warm, comfortable and the facilities very good. The hot tub was much appreciated by all members of our group, as were the views of the surrounding countryside & fields full of sheep and lambs. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Despite the weather being poor we managed to get out and about quite a bit - the Brecon Mountain Centre, Libanus is well worth a visit.
Karan
Fabulous, very well equipped property for a large party in a lovely, secluded location. The beds were particularly comfortable. The owners were most helpful, but discreet and on hand if required. The entire party (ranging from 82-39) were delighted with the accommodation. I would have no hesitation in strongly recommending this property. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Fantastic, spacious, well-equipped barn, with plenty of room for a large family group (teens to seniors). Good number of modern bathrooms/WCs. It was comfortable and warm, and the hot tub and games area were a bonus. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Its a great location - very peaceful but only a short drive to shops for groceries. Lots o f lovely walking around the barn and in the general area, there is plenty to see and do. Highly recommend this place.

This place is perfect, lovely quiet location but yet within easy reach of walks, amenities and days out. The barn itself was cosy and had everything we needed for our family holiday to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday, from the games room and outdoor space for the kids to the hot tub and outdoor seating for the adults to relax. The fire pit was a h it also. We had the best time there!
Tony
An excellent holiday with 3 generations of the family. Plenty to keep the youngsters happy in the cottage and various activities within easy reach. Much enjoyed by everyone!
Pamela
I cannot fault this immaculate barn - a wonderful place to stay for a family get together. We were there for a wedding nearby and the barn provided us with plenty of space and enough bathrooms to allow all 14 of us to be ready on time! The hot tub was an added attraction for those of us with sore heads the next day! The owner, Helen was welcoming a nd kind - supplying an extra set of bed linen as an emergency. We would definitely like to rent this wonderful holiday home again.
Lynne
Lovely property not too far off the beacon track! Everything you needed in the barn. Really clean and modern. 9 of us stayed there comfortably. We all commented on how good the showers were and the fact the towels were big!! Hot tub was great. Plenty of parking. Owners were welcoming and were easily contactable if needed. Would definitely go back. (The neighbouring cows make for a good alarm clock!!)

Pen-Y-Glyn Barn provides outstanding accommodation for a large group of people. It is furnished and resourced to a very high specification. Our family of fourteen (ages 7 to seventy) enjoyed a fun week of both indoor and outdoor activities including party games, a murder mystery, a quiz, hiking, red kites, and Cantref Fun Park for children. The own ers were exceptionally pleasant. Pen-Y-Glyn Barn is exceptional.
