Response from Sarah on 22 Apr,2024
Hi Sally,It was a pleasure welcoming you and we are pleased you had a good stay. Yes, they are fire doors with self closing devices so there is a bit of friction when opening and closing the doors. I will see if we can reduce the friction if you found it hard to open and close. I hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you again someday. Best wishes,Sarah

This property is beautiful and in an exceptionally beautiful location in the Brecons. The scenery is incredible. The property was spotless and the hosts so accommodating, helpful and friendly. We ate at the lovely local pub and on our return the dark skies were incredible, we could see the milky way!

Very enjoyable stay
A comfortable stay in a lovely location. We enjoyed our brief visit and wish we could have stayed longer. As we don't eat breakfast the owners very kindly provided us with a generous packed lunch instead - thank you, Sarah and Paul, for your flexibility and kindness. We enjoyed a trip to the fascinating Llanthony Priory and charming Crickhowell which has a lovely bookshop and excellent organic shop. Dinner at the Crown in Pantygelli was amazing!

This was exactly what we were looking for; a quiet, countryside based B&B. A great property with lovely view over the surrounding countryside. The service was excellent as was the breakfast. I'd thoroughly recommend it.

B&B special
We have stayed in many B&B's over the years. This was by far the best. Location and setting stunning. Accommodation and facilities excellent. Quality of accommodation exceptional. Eg. Large ensuite with bath, separate shower and bath robes to use. Bed king-sized, storage excellent. Plus all the usual tea, coffee and tv facilities. Breakfast was excellent, including gluten free. The people who met us lovely and friendly, and couldn't do enough for you. On top of all that, the price was excellent value.

Stunning location and amazing hosts
Stayed for two nights on a work trip. Fantastic location, beautiful views, the owners were really lovely and nothing was too much hassle. The list of instructions prior to arrival were a bit overwhelming but they are a busy farm and are using a belt and braces approach to protect themselves, and their guests. On arrival the warm welcome was lovely that overwhelming list of instructions, suddenly made sense. Looking for a reason to go back, from the comfy beds, hot powerful showers and superb breakfast, 100% recommend this B&B.

Lovely farm location
Enjoyable stay for two nights. Stayed in superior room which was large though only one chair. Very clean property with good quality linen and towels. Most helpful hosts especially for directions to the property, and ideas for walking and eating locally. Breakfast taken in room because of COVID restrictions.

The perfect post-lockdown stay
We were made to feel so welcome at The Celyn. Despite the necessary adjustments made due to Covid-19, we were very comfortable, had everything we needed (and more!), and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. As our first trip away after lockdown, we both felt really at ease and sure that everything possible was being done to make sure the guests were safe. The photos can't possibly do justice to the beauty of the surroundings - the views from our room were stunning.

Peaceful and relaxing break in the Black Mountains
We stayed at Celyn Farm for three nights and could not have enjoyed the experience any more: A tasteful, clean and welcoming oasis of peace and quiet in beautiful countryside. We spent our days walking on the fells and slept very well in the comfortable bed and enjoyed the spotless bathroom/ power shower, the substantial breakfast and the gorgeous views. The hosts could not have been more friendly and helpful - excellent all round!
