In the heart of the beautiful Brecon Beacons, Penrhadw Farm has spectacular mountain views and offers a range of comfortable accommodation to suit the needs and budget of any traveller.
With a superb location just outside the unspoilt village of Pontsticill, the farm is the ideal base from which to explore the surrounding countryside of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The open farmland surrounding the farm’s main building adjoins the park, so you can enjoy the stunning natural beauty of this landscape from the minute you step out of the front door. The great access to the region’s major road network also makes the farm a convenient base for exploring Mid and South Wales.
Penrhadw Farm offers luxury en suite bed and breakfast accommodation in the main building, as well as self-catering and bed and breakfast accommodation in several separate, well-equipped, detached holiday cottages.
Hotel informationThe quality of this award-winning luxury farm guest house has been recognised with 4 AA Red Diamonds and 4 stars from the Welsh Tourist Board.

The cottages can be used as self-catering accommodation or guests can enjoy a full breakfast in the main farmhouse. The main building houses 7 luxurious rooms offering accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis. The 7 cosy bedrooms include single, twin and double rooms and there is also a spacious lounge with a TV and video, which is available for the use of residents.
One and 2 bedroom apartments in Merthyr Tydfil are also available as serviced accommodation, for stays from one night to one month.

Area information
There is plenty to see and do in the area surrounding Penrhadw Farm. Travel on the Brecon Mountain Railway, visit the spectacular Dan-yr-Ogof caves or explore Britain's industrial heritage at Blaenavon.
Blaenavon is home to the Big Pit National Mining Museum of Wales, situated on the site of Big Pit Colliery, a real coalmine that ceased production in 1980. The museum offers guided underground tours, which begin with a descent into the mine in the lift via the 90-metre mineshaft.
Alternatively, you can explore the Brecon Beacons right from the front door. Guests are welcome to explore the farmland surrounding the main house, which adjoins the open land of the Brecon Beacons National Park. You can explore the beacons on foot or via mountain bike, as the farm has a spectacular ERB (Endurance Research Board) mountain cycling area on National Cycle Route Number 8, which runs directly from the farm complex.
The farm is set just outside the unspoilt village of Pontsticill and the vibrant Welsh capital, Cardiff, is within half an hour's drive.
