"Third time we have stayed at New Peny, and it never fails to deliver."
Took logs with us as we know we use the log burner regularly and there is insufficient logs provided to last our stay. The bungalow is pretty warm anyway, but we love having the wood burner on. Hot tub lovely after long walks and cleaned regularly. Lots of towels provided for the hot tub but we had taken our own anyway. Lovely pub opposite who always make us welcome. The Sunday roast carvery is the best, but make sure you book.

"We had a week booked here but unfortunately day 3 of our holiday we were involved in a car crash that ultimately ruined our holiday and turned it into a holiday from hell."
The highlights of our holiday were the house and facilities offered. As we were grounded to the house for 3 days trying to sort out a courtesy car we made use of the log fire and hot tub which was lovely, we enjoyed a lovely meal in the Severn Arms Hotel across the road thankfully as we had no supplies in and couldn't get out to get any due to the car issues. We had an issue with my daughters disability aid breaking whilst we were grounded but thankfully the man who runs the car garage across the road was lovely and let me borrow a screwdriver. The house was lovely, clean and spacious, in a lovely area. Great hot tub and lovely gardens but unfortunately due to the circumstances I wouldn't come back but was nothing to do with the property. The property was the highlight of our holiday.

"Booked the bungalow as a place for three friends to meet up and catch up."
It was a perfect place to relax and unwind with everything we could possibly want, with the addition of a hot tub which was great. Clean, roomy and a great secure garden for my two Jack Russells. Ideal location for walking in the hills around the Elan Valley, Devil's Bridge and surrounding areas. Caught up on the gossip and caught up with sleep. Ideal

"Had a lovely week loved the hot tub, everything we needed in th kitchen & around the cottage, Severn arms Hotel across the road food was excellent."
-
"We've had a great week at New Peny, it's a very clean and comfortable cottage, with everything you need, it's got all your home from home luxuries."
The hot tub is amazing. A lovely welcome basket awaits. We had such a lovely week there. And the bonus of a pub opposite you and a quirky coffee and cake shop less than 200 mtrs away. Thank you.
Hi Thanks you so much for your feedback , So glad you enjoyed your stay hope to see you again Jane Probert Property Owner

"Lovely property, clean and good condition."
Lots of space for all and an enclosed garden. We had a brilliant stay
Thank you Property Owner

"Lovely place ."
Clean and tidy . A real home from home . Would definitely recommend .
Thank you very much ,Glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at New Peny, the property was very spacious, nice large kitchen which accommodated 5 of us easily, very clean and everything to hand that we may have needed, hot tub was lovely to chill out in too."
Thank you very much for your kind words Property Owner
-
"We had a lovely stay at the bungalow very homely and easy access to local attractions."
One thing it said in the description was the garden was enclosed by the hottub area, yes it was enclosed however the garden is a wrap around and we couldn't leave the dogs out alone as there is a large gap under the main gate which leads onto a main road which our dogs could get under. An idea might be to put a small fence up at the back of the property. Also the pictures look like the property is in the country side , but is actually on a main road which was quite noisy.
Thank you for your comments There are hinged boards on the back of the gates that drop down to fill the gap to prevent small dogs getting under the doors Hope this makes sense Property Owner

"A lovely spacious property, like home from home, with all the facilities we needed to enjoy our stay."
A great base for enjoying the surrounding areas, with a nice little pub over the road that has lovely views across the river. We would definitely stay here again.
Thank you Property Owner
-
"Unfortunately we did not meet the owner which we found a bit strange so we didn't know if the hottub had been checked as when we used it on the second night it wasn't as hot or full as the previous night."
The cottage was lovely though and the thoughtful touches were really appreciated by us all. It is a beautiful place and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Thank you Property Owner
-
"Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This property had everything we needed for our stay."
The hot tub was lovely. Spacious and comfortable bungalow fully dog secure garden. Lots to see and visit nearby.
Thank you so much for your feed back Property Owner

"We had a fantastic stay at New Peny perfect bungalow to relax."
Home from home everything you needed. Lovely gifts left- eggs, crisps, biscuits. All essentials were in the kitchen. The hottub was marvellous and enough towels. Lovely pub across the road that does food and dog friendly. We ordered Chinese takeaway delivery to the property. Jane was lovely and invited us to go 2hrs earlier for check in and the communication was great. Would definitely book again all the family had a great break.
-
"A lovely bungalow, plenty of space both inside and out."
Beds were very comfy, lots of towels, lots of utensils and crockery. Very much a home from home feel. Children loved the hot tub which was large and under cover. Quiet location despite being next to a road. Pub is directly opposite and lovely, we ate Sunday lunch there, it was delicious. We spent Saturday in Llandrindod Wells, the lake is worth a visit and the high street was full of independent shops, really nice to see. Only slight downside was the cleanliness of the bungalow, hair/fluff/debris in the kitchen drawers and cupboards in particular. There is a hoover at the property so I ended up hoovering the cutlery drawer and wiping down kitchen surfaces. Similar issue in bathroom and shower room. Once cleaned we could enjoy the rest of our stay. Would definitely return in future.
-
"Really lovely place and just what we needed for a relaxing break after a very stressful time."
Loved the log fire and the hot tub, as well as the decent sofas. The kitchen was really nice too, and it was great to have a separate space to enjoy meals and games at the large kitchen table. The only negative was beard hair on the en suite sink, and a few other areas that could have been a little cleaner, but it didn't detract from our stay. Jane was easily contactable and quick to respond and solve any issues. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Lovely property & made so good memories- hope to return again 1 day"
-
"A lovely well presented holiday property."
Clean comfortable and well stocked. Great sized rooms. Hot tub was a massive bonus! This is a great holiday home to get away from it all and relax.
-
"Lovely place."
It had that home away from home feeling. Had everything that you need. The garden was lovely and secure for the dogs. Hot tub was lovely to go into after a day out exploring and was checked everyday by the owners, but they didn't disturb you to check it but when we did see each other they were very friendly. Found a nice little lay-by breakfast van 4 minutes away, called the yellow snack van, which was a treat to stop at when you was up and out on a day exploring. Already looking at when we can come back and would highly recommend this place to anyone.

"This was our second stay at New Peny which didn’t disappoint."
The bungalow was very clean and comfortable and the hot tub was lovely to relax in after walking. Kitchen was well equipped and beds very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting in front of the log burner which had everything we needed for a couple of roaring fires. Communication with our host was very good and recommendations for places to eat out very much appreciated. There is also plenty of information in the guide book on walks and places to eat out and get a take away from. We would highly recommend staying at New Peny and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks Ash & Jayne

"Cottage was amazing, comfy clean and everything we needed, lovely welcome package."
Hot tub was fantastic, beautifully done under cover for all weather's, they have thought of everything to make this a relaxing holiday. Would definitely recommend and love to come back.
-
"Amazing property, proper home from home & a lovely welcome pack included, would highly recommend staying here."
-
"Wonderful place to stay."
Little welcome package of milk, snacks and some eggs was a welcomed surprise. House was lovely. Totally secure garden, excellent facilities. Quiet village. Lovely pub across the road and wonderful tea room and museum nearby. Highly recommended. 5

"Fabulous stay at a beautiful property."
Well equipped and a perfect location for travelling to surrounding areas. If could pick one small issue would be the front gates at the drive of the property are slightly raised (I understand the slope of the drive so not sure what could be used to correct) but meant that we had to ensure dogs were secure on leads to not escape. Everything you need for a holiday is within the property. Thank you
Evening So pleased you enjoyed your stay with us, Regarding the gates on the bottom is a hinged panel that drops down to fill the gap Sorry i should of told you ,Hope to see you again Many thanks Jane Property Owner

We had a brilliant time and we thank the owner it clean cosy and warm and not too far away to the Royal Welsh Show Kind Regards Mrs C Brooks
-
"Excellent accommodation, very well maintained and equipped."
Lovely comfy beds. Plenty of space. Pub opposite is nice and Thomas Museum is quaint and have a little tea room. We loved the hot tub and the dogs loved the garden and we felt it was all very safe for them. Weather wasn't the best our week, but we did have a few sunny days. We didn't go out exploring much as the holiday was purely to rest and relax, and we really did have a lovely week at New Peny
-
"Beautiful cottage, fourth time staying and it will not be our last."
Always super clean and cosy every time we go. Great for some family time away for us and the children love the hot tub. Very happy as always . We will be back .
-
"Disappointed that the pub across the street was only open for food Thursday to Sunday lunch good food it would have been nice if they had done food every night could not fault the bungalow though."
-
"2nd visit very lovely bungalow big rooms big hot tub surround garden Beds ..."
2nd visit very lovely bungalow big rooms big hot tub surround garden Beds slightly hard for us as we have soft beds at home
-
"The new peny was beautiful."
Perfect for us. We all loved it. It was quite. Not 1 thing to complain about. The pub on the other side served food that was a good size and well worth a visit. Plenty of info about places to visit , menus for food to be delivered if you don’t want to eat out….. but everything if you want to cook. We loved it. Thank you Jane and every one involved for renting such a lovely place out.
Thank you so much was our pleasure having you stay Look forward to seeing you again Many thanks Jane Property Owner
-
"The bungalow was perfect for our needs - a secure open space for the dogs and children in the garden and a private good sized hot tub for the adults."
The sun shine in the garden too. The property was clean, well equipped / maintained and a modern homey feel. There were snacks and eggs left for us which was a lovely welcoming touch. A garden bench or chairs would have added to the perfectness of it all. Thanks for making New Peny the perfect place for a few days break.
Glad that you enjoyed your time with us ,Will have the garden furniture out has soon as the weather gets better which is not far away (fingers crossed) Many Thanks Jane Property Owner
-
"A wonderful home with all you need from a property."
The hot tub is the best we have ever used. Wi-Fi is ok but would be the only thing that needs to improve, everything else was brilliant
Thank you for your kind words ,Sorry about the wifi i thick we should be getting an upgrade soon ( fingers crossed ) Many Thanks Jane Property Owner

"We had a fabulous stay in a fabulous house!"

"Wow! What a stunning bungalow!"
Myself and my family have just returned from the New Peny after spending Christmas there. The bungalow was spotless, it was well equipped with absolutely everything you can think of! All the rooms were so beautifully finished, and the hot tub was a huge luxury and nicely placed under a veranda. The property is well secured for your fury friends, my 2 dogs loved a good run around! The property was very accessible for wheelchair users, making our stay for my dad so much more simpler. My children wanted to live there and didn't want to leave!! They loved it! The bungalow is in a picturesque village of Penybont with a very friendly pub/restaurant across the road at the Severn Arms, everything you need within 5-10 minutes drive. Jane the owner is incredibly accomodating and friendly, always on hand for anything you need. Would not hesitate to return and would highly recommend this beautiful bungalow.
Hi So pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Newpeny ,Hope the Christmas decorations helped to give it a home from home feeling. Look forward to seeing you again Many thanks Jane Property Owner

"What an amazing place!"
!!! All the facilities you could possibly need on a break away. A very luxurious home from home. We've just returned from a long weekend, 3 Sisters and Mum - celebrating Mum's birthday. Fabulous. The pub opposite was very welcoming, although not currently serving food, whilst undergoing some improvement. Had a fabulous Sunday lunch in the main town at a 16th century Inn. Jane, the host was contactable by text if required. Highly recommend a stay here.
Hi Thank you for your kind words so glad you had a great time ,Happy Birthday Jane Property Owner

"A fantastic property - probably my favourite."
My only advice would be that the ensuite bathroom needs a little bit of work as it smells of sewerage. Maybe the property needs a little bit of paint and a new rug in the front room - these are minor criticisms however - i have stayed here before a few years previous so i compare it to than. Comforting, cosy, clean - a super kitchen and dining area - lovely outdoors area - brilliant hot tub although i miss seeing the stars as there is a wooden structure ... i personally like to look up. Lovely dog walks, nice locals - I love the property so much i wish i could buy and live there permanently.
Hi the mat changes colour which ever was you brush it Turned it upside down on the wooden floor and no dirt to be found , By the way my current guests wouldnt let me change it Had the sewer line jetted and no sign of any blockage or odour Thanks for your repeat visit will let you know if we ever sell the property Many thanks Jane Property Owner
-
"The property itself was absolutely stunning - it is large, spacious and the outside area is fantastic."
We had issues with the cleanliness - the rug in the front room was dirty, there was chocolate and ice cream wrappers in between the sofa cushions, under the bed was thick with hair and dirt. The extractor fan in the kitchen was also dirty. We also found that our hot tub was not checked even though the booklet in the property states it will be checked twice a day… Unfortunately we did not find the beds comfortable (this is a personal thing and in no way the owner of the properties fault). Due to this, we had a few sleepless nights. Overall, the property is lovely but needs to be maintained better.
Thank you for your comments The rug in the front room has been mentioned to us before and since your stay , If you brush the wool in different directions it changes colour , That be said we thought it would be much easier to change it . We ordered a new mat which turned up this friday afternoon , went to new penny to change it and the current guests had already arrived and checked the original mat and were more than happy with it Regarding the sweet wrappers , we dont have many children staying but we did the week before your stay so this did catch us out The beds are all on legs and well up off wooden floors dust does build up during the week especially when pets are in the house The extractor fan is there for a reason and does its job Wayne checks the hot tub at around 3 am when he leaves for work and again in the afternoon Hope this clears up your concerns Jane Property Owner

"We had a lovely time in New Peny - the house is in an excellent state and the outside area is great especially with a dog."
The location is excellent to explore wales and there are amazing walks around. Absolute recommendation and we’ll definitely come back.
Thank you for your kind words look forward to seeing you again Many Thanks Jane Property Owner
-
"We loved the hot tub and the size of the property."
Two suggestions maybe have a blackboard showing when the man has been to the hot tub - as a person who doesnt really want to be seen in her swimsuit it would be nice to know if you've been out if the hot tub has been looked at and you can get in without being disturbed. Also, there were a lot of flies in the kitchen - I know there are Sheep not far so can't be helped but the kitchen needs a better fly trap or killer, the garden was safe but because of my tiny Pomeranian there were gaps she could have escaped through - but they loved running around and around - all in all we enjoyed our stay and would come back again. beds very comfy and loved my en-suite
-
"We've just returned from a 4 night stay at New Peny over the bank holiday week end."
It was a family stay of 5 adults and our dog to celebrate a big birthday. The location is near a junction which was a little noisy with bank holiday traffic but you couldn't really notice it when inside the property. The bungalow is bigger than it looks in the photos, very well equipped and well maintained and had everything we needed for our stay. The owners have obviously gone to a lot of trouble with all aspects of the fixture, furnishings and decor. They also provided a selection of welcome items which was a nice touch. The kitchen-diner was an excellent entertaining space for our family meals. The large garden was loved by our little dog and safe enough with the secured gates to allow him some freedom to roam. The large hot tub was a joy to relax in. We had a lovely time, thanks very much. Would definitely book again.
Well Happy BIG birthday so glad you all had a good time , Look forward to seeing you again Many Thanks Jane Property Owner
-
"The bungalow was gorgeous and had a lovely homely feel to it however the only fault was the amount of cobwebs there was in every room."
Myself and my daughter have a phobia of spiders, it only took a few minutes to get rid
Hi Thank you for your positive feed back Nice to know you felt at home, Sorry about the cobwebs the spiders in mid wales must be world class athletes Will have to get a faster duster Many thanks Jane Property Owner
-
"We had a fab time in new peny… was suppose to stay 3 years ago initially but Covid stopped us ."
We celebrated 3 birthdays here 18,30th and a 50th. We had everything we need and more . Amazingly kitchen… everything we could possibly want. Very secure for the dogs. Off road parking. Outside sitting area and the fan hot tub. Thank you so much
Thank you very much for your kind words, Very much appreciated, Glad you enjoyed yourselves after waiting so long Many Thanks Jane Property Owner
-
"Had a lovely week staying st New Peny."
Beautiful house and beautiful weather. Pub across the road was really welcoming. Cottage is probably an hours drive to the seaside but we were quite happy staying at the cottage enjoying the glorious weather. Welcome surprise to come back to some extra outdoor seating. Friendly guy came round every day to check the hot tub. All in all a perfect get away would love to go back some day.
Thank you very much look forward to seeing you again ,Glad the weather was on you side Many Thanks Jane Property Owner
-
"Very nice cottage, need new pans and a good clean of windows."
There was everything we needed for our stay. Hot tub is wonderful very relaxing.
Thank you for your comments ,I have spoken to the window cleaner and also to some of is other clients in the area , No one as a issue with is work and we can only assume that after a long dry spell dust had settled on the roof and guttering ,The rain and wind we have had recently as washed the dust on to the windows Hope this all makes sense Many Thanks Jane Property Owner
-
"Loved the size of the property and hot tub was great."
However, we didn't have any extra towels provided for hot tub use (or told we need to bring extra) do we ended up washing a lot. There also didn't seem to be enough crockery, glassware or a bread knife? The kitchen had loads of flies which was pretty annoying. Overall it was ok, but we wouldn't come back. It was too close to the neighbours for us too as we felt we needed to be quiet in the hot tub which wasn't really us!
Thank you for your comments regarding Newpeny, There where extra towels in the utility room which had not be used The property sleeps 6 but there is enough matching crockery for 8 plus extra (not matching) if you have guests. and all different type of glasses inc plastic ones for the hot tub The fly issue is not normally a problem as their is a electric fly catcher and is clean out after every stay and there where several fly in there which in the past has only happened when there are used crockery left in the kitchen The hot tub is located at the rear of the property and is well secluded and as never upset anyone Many Thanks Jane Property Owner

"Nice place, clean for a holiday cottage helpful owners."
Windows could do with a clean (being window cleaners to us it really notices :)
-
"The bungalow was in an excellent location."
Beautiful private garden, with one of the best hot tubs we've used. Inside is lovely and maintained to a high standard. Would definitely return.
-
"It was perfect in every way."
Nothing was missing & everything worked perfectly
-
"One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in, it had everything we needed."
All beds very comfortable. Lovely clean hot tub. Dog safe garden. A plus was the pub opposite which was very friendly and welcoming.
-
"We had a perfect stay."
There was everything we needed and more. The hot tub was an added luxury and throughly well used. Owners helpful and were a text away. Thank you for lovely weekend.
-
"We had a really great week at New Penny last week of Jan."
the weather was cold and dry which made the fantastic hot tub even more enjoyable to relax in after a morning walk round Radnor Forrest and a few drinks and some lunch at the pub across the way. The log burner inside was great to come inside to and the beds super comfy
-
"This is a great place, we chose something last minute, but couldn’t be happier."
Owner kept us updated and the place was stunning , even left us a welcome back. This is done to a great standard and we will be back
-
"New Peny is an amazing holiday bungalow."
It is extremely well equipped, spacious and comfortable. Everything is of good quality: furniture, bed and linen, shower, hot tub. The only negative - we felt cold in the sitting room and needed to use the blankets to keep warm. We didn’t use the wood burner due to asthma, but even if we could have used it, it would not have helped the chill when we got up in the morning or when we returned from visits. Without this negative we would gladly give it 6 out of 5. It truly is a beautiful property.
-
"New Peny was beautiful and very well equipped."
We had a lovely weekend there and the hot tub is amazing. We would highly recommend New Peny.
-
"Absolutely beautiful place, the dogs loved having so much space to run around in the garden."
The hot tub was amazing too. We are already looking at booking again for next year.
-
"New Pen y is an exceptional property."
Everything is provided for an excellent vacation. I was impressed and excited as I stepped through the door to meet the owner when I collected the keys. Said owner was extremely friendly and helpful. I immediately felt welcome. The whole property is tastefully decorated and the furnishings, bed linen etc are comfortable, clean and fresh. Nothing has been overlooked. Congratulations to the owners for creating a space that is home from home...and more.
-
"New Peny is a wonderful place."
Comfortable accommodation and everything you need. Safe and secure garden for large dogs. The hot tub is the outstanding element of this property - best we have ever used.
-
"We loved the property,so clean ,tidy & lovely private garden."
The hot tub was the best I've used .The area was beautiful looking forward to returning beautiful scenery everywhere .
-
"Property was beautiful and it was welcoming too."
Owners were incredibly attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Jane greeted us and showed us through the property. Even gifted us some eggs from her own farm. We took our own test strips for the hot tub due to some of the previous comments, and we tested it but ours were wrong, Jane came round pretty much immediately and tested it herself, and abated our worries. We did have a breakage with the bed in the master en suite and it was rectified the day after the break. Fantastic garden, that was perfect for our dog. Big high hedges and the gates are at least 6 feet high and very secure. Grass kept short for the fur babies, so short that we even had our dogs agility course on it with no problems. Hot tub was spotlessly clean. You could tell it had been scrubbed within an inch of its life. All nice pots, pans and plates provided. Big dishwasher which is always a bonus for our family and any big family that wants to go. A nice rack of games provided too.. Chess, pack of cards, snakes and ladders. Tv only Freesat but decent. Netflix can be logged into. WiFi not great but meh you're on holiday. Nice quiet road, shop 10 minutes away with fuel too. Everything provided for you. Hair dryer , Iron, clothes rail. Would very much recommend for anyone looking for a break with the fur babies
-
"Amazing! We will definitely be back!"
Had the best time, had everything you need and more, only thing would change more logs for the log burner. Thank you for a amazing stay
-
"This was our second visit to New Peny and we were not disappointed - lovely clean, well equipped, spacious property ideal for two couples or a family group, and dog friendly."
Great hot tub! Lots to do in the area and we enjoyed a nice meal in the pub opposite. Owners available if we needed them but at a discrete distance.
-
"Location was spot on for us with having the car and also perfect for our dogs ."
Pub across the road was very convenient fir nights we didn’t feel like cooking , the food was good too . Was very chilled and relaxed with having a hot tub !! Llandrindod was a favourite with the lake and walks for the dogs . A perfect week .
-
"Beautiful holiday home, loads of space and close by to beautiful countryside."
Clean home and clear communication with hosts. The hot tub was amazing too.
-
"My wife and daughter had to visit a Doctor today, both have been diagnosed with hot tub folliculitis, caused by lack of chlorine in the hot tub."
7 days antibiotics required, very unhappy. Hot tub should be cleaned and maintained properly, even for short stays.
-
"We spent a lovely week in this spacious, well equipped bungalow."
In fact, we can’t remember staying anywhere quite as good - outstanding! We really appreciated the comfortable beds & enjoyed the hot tub. We recommend the mountain drive to Aberystwyth via Devil’s Bridge for breathtaking views. The Red Kite feeding at Gigrin Farm, Rhayadr was a real spectacle. We’d be very happy to stay here again.
-
"We wished we had known about the road as at the weekends it was very busy and noisey."
Perhaps an outside airer would have been handy. It is a beautiful clean bungalow with everything you need and very comfortable.
-
"Awesome place with lovely facilities"
-
"Really enjoyed a short notice break away for 2 nights!"
Pet friendly and the dogs loved it as much as we did. The photos do not do the property justice it's larger and nicer in person and exceeded our expectations. Will be looking to book again in the future!
-
"What a fabulous getaway with the family, this was a great base for our days out and cosy home for our nights in with the bonus of a hot tub."
We had a brilliant stay and would definitely come back.
-
"Cottage was beautiful they had thought of everything for a great stay."
Sykes cottages themselves are always very helpful too.
-
"Absolutely fab place."
Owner so helpful aswell
-
"The location was excellent."
There are so many things to & see. The walks were stunning & fun.
-
"We had a lovely time at the New Peny, thank you."
Penybont common is much bigger than I expected, and was great for family walks away from crowds. The house was very well equipped, though we would usually do some baking on a holiday and were glad we took our own kitchen scales and a sieve. It was rare to find that there was plenty of cupboard space for food, and the fridge freezer was a large one. The beds were very comfortable. I like to have pure cotton sheets, but so many places use polyester cotton that we had taken our own. It wasn't an issue for our group, but for families with young children it is worth knowing that the en suite bedroom is away from the other bedrooms. The owner, Jane, was very helpful and lives next door so was on hand if needed. We would definitely be happy to stay here again.
-
"Place was nice and tidy, well kept and very spacious."
However the centra heating wasn’t the best as it came on certain time’s of day so there was times we did not have hot water. Previous guest left dog poo on the grass which one of us cleaned which wasn’t ideal. There wasn’t good lighting outside so such as back lights so it was difficult to walk at the night and hot tub at times was cold
-
"Everything was perfect."
We couldn’t have asked for a better break. The accommodation was in a perfect location and furnished to a high standard and very clean. We will definitely be visiting again.
-
"Was fantastic."
Did not want to leave and have the holiday blues! Will return very soon.
-
"Lovely holiday home beautifully decorated and furnished with plenty of room for everyone in our family."
Everything you needed was provided and no problem at all if you asked the owner for anything. Great enclosed garden for the dog to run about in.
-
"Wonderful cottage with a very homely feel."
Lovey owner who was very helpful and accommodating. Good pub across the road for drinks and games of pool. Good location to get to visitor attractions such as Elan Valley. We’d happily stay again.
-
"Very pleased with the cottage holiday hot tub was a treat everything was great ..."
Very pleased with the cottage holiday hot tub was a treat everything was great just wish these type of holiday homes were a little cheaper so more people cud Try them and go enjoy them more often plus il be booking again blooming excellent thanks
-
"The standard of the accomodation was lovely, it was very comfortable and clean."
We loved the hot tub which worked perfectly throughout the week. Nice secure garden for our dogs
-
"This was an amazing property."
It was well kept, clean and beautiful throughout.
-
"Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at New Peny in the village of Penybont."
On arrival we were met by the owner who was very welcoming and gave us a conducted tour of the property. In the past we have visited many holiday properties but we can honestly say that this property outshines all others that we have visited. The bungalow was very spacious with four bedrooms and all aspects were exceptionally clean and comfortable with modern decor throughout. The hot tub being an added bonus which our family enjoyed each evening. When we visit Mid Wales again we will definitely make New Peny our place to stay. Many thanks to Jane the owner for a wonderful stay. David and Sheila Rees and family.
-
"House is great, good layout, spotlessly clean, nicely decorated and furnished, and well equipped."
Very dog friendly - chicken wire around the property and flaps that come down on the gate to keep the smallest potential escape artists inside! The hot tub was fab. Owners very helpful. Recommended!
-
"Met by owner Jane on arrival."
.. who gave us a tour around the property and told us they lived just at the back of the house if we needed anything. The house is beautiful, with quality furnishings, comfortable beds and a fabulous well equipped kitchen and a hot tub to the rear. There’s ample parking and loads of outdoor space. There was a lovely welcome basket with fresh eggs, Welsh cakes, cookies and a basket of fruit.... and milk in the fridge. We throughly enjoyed our week (23 Aug -30th Aug) and had fantastic sunny weather apart from 1 day. We went across to the Severn arms to the charity event they were hosting to watch the lumberjack show and the sheep shearing competition. It was great fun and we enjoyed a few drinks in the beer garden. There are lots of great walks in the area... look on google maps for Water break it’s neck, and the Shaky Bridge walk which starts at the lake in Llandrindod Wells. We drove to Devils bridge to see the waterfalls, it’s a very nice drive out and only took us around 45 mins. We did all our own cooking at the property, if you need provisions for your stay there’s a Tesco supermarket and an Aldi in town, about 5 miles away. We spent a lot of time playing outdoor games at the back of the property as a family and we felt safe with our dog just roaming around as the property was fully enclosed. One day we had no hot water, a quick text message to the owner and this was sorted in 5 minutes. We had a really enjoyable stay and recommend the New Peny to those wanting to stay in this area. Many thanks to Jane, Gwyn and family from the Browns.

"Short of mirrors in all bedrooms,wardrobes only in two of the four bedrooms only six hangers, Jacuzzi not available to use on the first night no hooks to hang towels on and No light to see your way from the Jacuzzi to the house."
We had to ask for wood for the fire when it came it was damp and No bucket for the ashes. No clothes maiden for the items we couldn't put in the dryer, to turn the heating on I had to climb on the worktop open a cupboard in order to press a boost button to have the heating on, there is no books or board games or dvd player which would have been good as there was no Wi-Fi for t first night, there were two Chinese menus but when it came to order the food we found one had been closed down for a while and the other wasn't open with no reason, we feel it would have useful if the owner had noticed this.
