• "What a beautiful property!"

  We stayed here for a week and loved every minute. The views are to die for and the property itself is immaculate. It’s close enough to Builth be able to nip out for whatever you may need but far enough away to appreciate the tranquility of the surrounding countryside. The property itself has everything you need for a break away and is all of high quality. I would definitely recommend this property and had I not booked next years breaks already then I would be booking to return next year. The owner is lovely, very friendly and approachable. We will definitely return here. Thank you for a lovely stay

  Thank you Property Owner

  Pen y Banc is the best property we've ever stayed in. Spacious, modern, comfy beds, spotlessly clean and stunning views. The Owners were so lovely, and have thought of everything to make sure you have a relaxing, amazing holiday. Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back.

• "What a lovely property!"

  Deceptively spacious, airy and bright, and set in a beautiful location. This property has just about everything you could want in a holiday let. Comfortable rooms, nice bathrooms, a well stocked kitchen. The outdoor space was great, taking in the stunning views was an awesome way to wake up in the mornings, especially watching the red kites flying around, and a crane down on the river. We also enjoyed watching the local farmer working with his dogs herding sheep in the surrounding fields. The hot tub was also a bonus. As a family of 7 (over 3 generations), the house more than catered for all of us. The owner is also friendly and approachable should there be any issues (we didn't have any) Our teenage niece enjoyed fussing the owners goats. We have been doing holidays cottages for a few years and this was one of our favourites.

• "A wonderful stay!"

  The house was great, immaculate, lots of space for our family and the views are superb. The hot tub was fantastic and spotlessly clean. Very easy to relax and return home re-energised! All in all a fantastic place, highly recommended.

• "Pen Y Banc is an absolutely incredible house."

  The views are breathtaking - even better than they look in the photos. A red kite nests nearby and often glides around in front of the house - often really close to it, which is a spectacular sight. The house is really spacious, with excellent facilities - everything you need is there including a well kitted out kitchen with loads of utensils, pots, pans etc, and a separate utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer, sink etc. The beds are comfy. Bathroom and en suite facilities all worked perfectly. The hot tub is a fab feature as well, as it gives you another opportunity to enjoy the incredible view. The host was very friendly and helpful too. It was a very happy holiday : )

  Thank you for the kind words Property Owner

• "We couldn’t fault it, it was absolutely brilliant!"

  Owners were so welcoming and friendly and we even got to feed and stroke the two little goats that are there. All in all a really great stay and actually our favourite that we’ve been on in the UK. So thank you very much.

• "A lovely, well-sited bungalow overlooking the River Wye, set in a quiet location and with easy access."

  The bungalow was well appointed and equipped, with modern decor and furnishings. It was well looked after, very clean and suitable for our four-legged friends. The hot tub proved a real bonus and again was well maintained and checked daily. The owner, who lived locally, was very friendly and helpful… with a lovely Welsh accent. Many thanks Steve for a wonderful holiday and please let us know when the next holiday home is up and running.

• "Pen y Banc was an excellent property in a stunning location."

  A beautiful house, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Spacious and very comfortable (particularly the beds). And that lovely view from the big patio windows. We had a lovely weekend, and enjoyed the hot tub! The host was very welcoming and friendly. Useful fenced garden and terrace area for the dog.

• "Pen-y-Banc is exceptional."

  Spacious, well equipped, with effective heating and showers and a good selection of beds that should suit most parties. This the first cottage I have stayed in for some time in which I have not had to sleep on the floor thanks to my need for a firm and zero-sag mattress: one of the beds met this need. This place also boasts perhaps the finest view I have ever seen from a cottage in forty years of UK self catering holidays. The only point I would flag to newcomers is that the best way to find it is to use the precise map reference given in the key collection email, because the drive is easily missed.

• "Fantastic property in a great location, the views are marvellous."

  We had a fabulous week and visited many great places, all within an hours drive. It was a pity the weather was not better, too cold to use the hot tub most evenings and to many clouds to appreciate the night sky. The property itself is very well laid out, well appointed and very comfortable. My wife loved the wall colour and took the name of the paint. Will look to come back some time next year. Great food at the seven stars, shame about the parking at the pub. Many thanks for a great holiday.

• "The holiday home has the most incredible view !"

  The home too is so comfortable, spacious and everything is of a very high standard. We had the most amazing week - I can honestly say that it was our best family holiday. We enjoyed star-gazing in the hot tub in the evenings and in the day, we explored the stunning countryside. There is so much to see and do. This property is ideally located to visit the mountains, or to visit the beaches.

• "Do not hesitate to book Pen-Y-Banc!"

  As well as being set above the most beautiful valley with a stunning view, and it’s own resident Buzzard who visited us daily, it is a fabulous bungalow, with all home comforts (the mattresses in all 4 rooms are the most comfortable!). There is everything you need in the kitchen for self catering, as well as loads of storage and cupboard space, a pantry and utility room, the list goes on. The hot tub is lovely and again enjoys the beautiful view down the valley. Book it!

  The photos do not do this beautiful cottage justice! The property is kept to a very high standard, and the spacious rooms were such a treat. The highlight of the location is by far the hot tub looking out over the gorgeous views. We will definitely be back again. Thank you.
