An ideal holiday location especially for families or groups keen to visit The Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons, or walk the Offa`s Dyke Path. The village has The Skirrid Mountain Inn, which is the oldest pub in Wales and was used as Judge Jeffrie`s Court. The scenery is superb with The Skirrid Mountain behind and The Black Mountains just beyond the village. Ideally situated to explore the Wye Valley, Welsh Border Country, Forest of Dean, The Brecon Beacons National Park & South Wales.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A mile off the Offas Dyke Path but walking that extra mile to get to this delightful place is well worth it.
Met by Idris who owns the B n B, we were made welcome straight away. That welcome included a large slab of cake to enjoy with a cup of tea in the room. The rooms are cozy, clean and very tastefully quirky. Breakfast was plentiful and included cereals, yoghurts, fruit, toast and a fry up.. What more could you ask for.. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone ..

Lovely to be back at Pen Y Dre farm with family. The cottage we stayed in had bunk beds which was unexpected as we thought we had booked one with twins. So it made for an interesting sleepover for our friends, a few glasses of wine meant they coped admirably.
Gorgeous cake on arrival which is a lovely touch. Few cobwebs by one of the windows and a loose loo seat needing attention but otherwise a super stay. The best part about the farm cottages is the tolerance of dogs, the sun shone and we had a lovely bbq on the lawn. The kitchen is well stocked so if you needed to cook there are plenty of pots and pans and utensils.
The double bed was very comfortable and clean, the shower in the bath is slightly low for tall men but kicks out plenty of hot water.
Overall a lovely stay, that offers value for money and a great base for exploring Abergavenny and the local area.

My dad, brother and myself greatly enjoyed our short stay at Pen-y-Dre while walking Offa’s Dyke Path. The B&B rooms are in the marvellously characterful old farmhouse. We shared the spacious family on the top floor: it had everything we needed, most importantly a good shower and a tea-making area (there’s fresh milk in the fridge). Cosy beds, a sofa and plentiful charging points were all appreciated too. Idris and Gwen couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. The welcome cake and cooked breakfast were both scrumptious. We’d definitely stay again.

Oh, we had the absolute pleasure of booking through Airbnb! The photos were just marvelous, giving a flawless impression. But oh, what a delightful surprise awaited us with everything not captured in those stunning shots.

First off, they had the charming addition of a baby gate, which was perfect since we definitely didn’t travel with any children. We tripped over it so many times that we practically performed a dance routine! When we politely asked the host to remove this lovely obstacle, he was just so warm and welcoming about our request.

And let’s talk about the bathroom—what an artistic display of exposed areas! The shower pressure was so minimal it could have doubled as a gentle misting system, and getting the water to a comfortable temperature was like trying to crack a secret code. Clearly, they put in a lot of effort into that renovation, and boy, did it show (not!).

Oh, and the duvets! Thick and heavy—just what you want in the sweltering summer heat! Who doesn’t love waking up in a sauna? And a door leading outside in the bedroom? Genius design choice!

The outdoor grill was another wonderful highlight of our stay. We bravely attempted to use it, only to have our cozy Airbnb transformed into a smoke-filled chamber of despair. Nothing says gourmet meal like oven-cooked food after a failed BBQ adventure!

The entrance stairs were like a thrilling amusement park ride—rickety and perfect for anyone seeking a bit of excitement and danger.

And let’s not forget the magical animal viewing area! Ducks, pigs, llamas, chickens, guinea pigs, and rabbits galore! But a word of caution: apparently, llamas are deadly. One male llama took it upon himself to greet us with a surprise spit directly to the face. How thoughtful!

The hammocks were a lovely touch, too—right in the middle of what can only be described as a delightful pet waste area. Nothing enhances relaxation quite like a soft bed of animal feces under your lounging spot.

And the pièce de résistance? The nightly serenade! Each evening at 10:30 PM, the female host would grace us with her presence to retrieve the dogs, providing us with a beautiful rendition of barking and her delightfully patient yet incessant yelling. A true gift that kept on giving for at least 20 minutes! What a treat!

Came here as part of the Trans Wales Trails and if I am ever to come back to the Brecon I would be sure to stay here.

One of the best cakes I have ever eaten on arrival, first class breakfast in the morning, Beautiful house and location, great for anyone wanting to explore Brecon - particularly Offa's Dyke which we rode across.

Nothing was too much trouble, but we couldn't have asked for more anyway!

Great facilities in the room, down to the smallest touches. You truly feel like you are at home when you stay here.

Highly recommend,

We spent two nights at Pen Y Dre Farm in the loft room. Everything was perfect. We were given a very warm helpful welcome that continued through our stay
We had the loft room … Full of character, beams, lots space for our family of four with a dog, facilities-wise it had everything needed for our stay (and much more). Plenty of kitchen equipment, tea, microwave & cooking equipment, fridge, towels, tv, electric points, really everything !
There was delicious cake on arrival, cooked breakfasts were delicious and more than enough to set us up for the day. They were served in what to my mind was a perfect farmhouse kitchen loads of charm and wonderful cooking smells!
Outside there was a well kept garden,, fields with alpacas, pigs, guinea pigs, cattle, ferrets and more. The kids loved it. The surrounding area has plenty to see, hiking and cycling.
All in all highly recommended and we would go back for sure !

We stayed here for one night and wish we could have stayed for a week!

Jenny and Richard were so very friendly and welcoming - we felt at home straight away. Lovely little touches included a jug of fresh milk in the fridge and cake for us.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and really cosy and comfortable... Incredibly well equipped with everything you could possibly need.

The farm was easy to find and parking was available directly outside the cottage.

The Alpacas were also very friendly and our little labrador pup found them very interesting indeed.

I would thoroughly recommend a stay here...

Fantastic B&B, greeted with tea and an enormous slice of Victoria sponge when we arrived after 5 hours on horseback.
Giant room, has everything you need, fresh milk for drinks, loads of plugs inc usb sockets to charge everything, hot shower.
Owners really friendly and it’s less than five mins walk to the pub for dinner.

Parked up and greeted by our hosts. Warm, friendly welcome and felt instantly at home. Showed to our large loft room with a view over the farmlands. Alpacas etc in view. Very comfortable and all that you can need is included in your room. Lovely cake left for us in the fridge too!

Wasn’t sure what to expect when I booked having never stayed in anything other than a hotel before but pleasantly surprised. Would recommend this place. Good location for sightseeing also with the national caves only 40mins drive away and black mountains on your doorstep.

Not too far from local towns also if you wanted to venture out. Large Morrison’s not too far away either.

Would definitely recommend this place.

Thanks. Faz and Asma.

We just stayed one night here as part of a riding holiday. We were welcomed with a cup of tea and a huge slice of homemade Victoria sponge in their massive warm Welsh kitchen. The bedrooms were also a good size and spotlessly clean and comfortable with plenty of towels and a robe. Fresh milk for tea making! Definitely stay here if you are in the area.
