We stayed in the Bull Pens over Christmas and had a fantastic time. The accommodation is first-rate. All of the rooms are large, and the decor is tastefully done and of a really good quality. It had been nicely decorated with a Christmas tree and lights so felt like we were in a magical place. The wood-burning stove allowed us to make the whole plaRead morece feel homely and was great as we played board games in the evening. The location is wonderfully remote but still near to Brecon.
