Old Castle Farm Guest House - A historic farmhouse B&B with garden access and proximity to Brecon Beacons National Park

Old Castle Farm Guest House is a family-run guest house in Brecon, located 1 km from the town center on the main road from Cardiff. The 1800s farmhouse retains original beams in some rooms, with all accommodations featuring en-suite bathrooms, LCD TVs, tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi. A full Welsh breakfast or vegetarian option is served daily in the spacious dining room. The property includes a private car park for 12 cars, a lock-up garage for bicycles, a guest lounge with an open fire, and a large garden with children's toys. Brecon town center is a 10-minute walk away, while Brecon Golf Club is 0.5 km from the guest house.

Proximity to Brecon Beacons National Park offers access to hiking, fishing, and mountain biking.

Family-friendly amenities include a garden with toys and interconnected room options.

Free Wi-Fi and private parking are available on-site.

“This family-run guest house immediately strikes me as exceptionally well-managed. I particularly appreciate its attentiveness to guests' needs, from accommodating cyclists with secure storage to providing for specific dietary requirements. It's a welcoming base for exploring Brecon and Pen y Fan, with the added convenience of on-site parking and a pub next door.”
