This is a lovely place to stay if you want to go for walks and explore the Brecon Beacons. The rooms are very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Even bathrobes are provided. Breakfast is plentiful and very good.

Christiane Germany

It was really fantastic to be in the middle of nowhere with nothing but the sounds of sheep to wake up to. Beautiful scenery from our room windows. Very peaceful and pleasing. The family was very friendly and took very good care of all 4 of us. Made us special breakfast in the morning. Though it was only one night, it was a truly memorable and enjoyable experience. A true home experience. The rooms were very modern and clean with nice facilities in the bathroom. We were very satisfied.

Whatever the reason for your stay, our aim is to make your stay at Celyn Farm a great experience. We try and achieve this by providing all the comforts you expect from modern accommodation whilst ensuring the service is based on traditional values.
Hi, I'm Sarah and together with my husband, Paul we run Celyn Farm Bed and Breakfast. We also have a working farm (primarily run by my dad) and love nothing more than exploring and sharing the beautiful welsh countryside.
We are surrounded by mountains, fields, sheep, country pubs, real ales, birds, log burning fires, trees, old churches, castles, old coal mines, villages and much much more.
