Everything we could have needed was provided, we had fun playing pool in the games room and sitting infront of the lovely fire. We would love to come back and stay again sometime.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that a lot of thought and care had gone into making this a perfect retreat for families and groups. The facilities were truly exceptional. The property was spotless, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had all the essentials (and more!), making it easy to prepare meals. The spacious lounge and cozy bedrooms made it feel like a home away from home. The highlight for us, though, was the brilliant games room! It was a hit with both the kids and adults. From table tennis to pool and board games, there was something for everyone. It kept the children entertained for hours, and we enjoyed some friendly competition ourselves. The location was another bonusâclose to Beacon, with plenty of nearby attractions and scenic walks to explore. It was the perfect balance of peaceful countryside and access to local amenities. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing holiday. Weâll definitely be back!

Big comfortable beds in all the bedrooms, so great for a family gathering of all adults. The home was really cosy and warm, really important over a grey mid November weekend. The whole family really enjoyed their stay at Pen Bont Home Farm.
