Glenthorne is a wonderful property and we very much enjoyed our stay there. The room included a well-equipped kitchenette (including a fridge with freezer compartment, oven, microwave, washing machine and hob) and a good en-suite. Fixtures and fittings were to a high standard and the bed was very comfortable indeed. A little stack of Welsh cakes waiting for us upon arrival was a nice touch. The building itself is very welcoming and the hands-off approach of the friendly hosts works well - we bumped into them on the stairs a couple of times but that was it. Some hosts can be a bit overbearing, so this was a welcome change. Wi-Fi was good for smartphone browsing. We didn't try anything more demanding such as streaming. The property is at the entrance to a quiet road. There was a little noise from the main road just up the way, but not enough to disturb our stay. The property is a bit of a walk (up a steep hill) from the town centre so we always drove, but parking in town is abundant, as are EV chargers.

Very light, clean and beautiful when I walked in - there was even a tray for your outdoor shoes. Bed was extremely comfortable and the room was very tastefully decorated, with a welcome couple of Welsh cakes. There was shampoo and shower gel available in the ensuite. Fresh milk was available in a small fridge, which was very handy for other snacks I had bought for a hike.

Loved everything. Lovely hosts, secure bike storage that is only opened by the owners, clean and bright room with a little kitchen that made all the difference to my week long stay. Loved the fact that the mugs were big enough to hold a proper cup of tea, various different lighting options in the room including a little lamp that was almost like candlelight, shower was great, everything was thought of from a sewing kit and a book in the drawer, all the kitchen things you might need like a whisk, cheese grater etc, and a pint of milk in the fridge and delicious biscuits on arrival. Looking forward to returning next month!

My husband and I travel a lot across the UK, always within a similar budget. After staying at the Studios at Glenthorne, we both agreed that it was the best room we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. Not only was the room very cozy and stylishly decorated, but the attention to detail was simply incredible. There was even a steam iron and sewing kit in the room! On top of that, there was coffee, tea, delicious scones, and water and milk in the fridge. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, so we felt like at home. We were truly impressed 😊 The guest house is within 15 minutes walk from very nice pubs and restaurants.

Perfect find for a weekend exploring Bannau Brycheiniog. The hosts were welcoming and advised about parking prior to arrival (easy on road parking) which wasn't a problem at all. I stayed in a downstairs room with small kitchen and bathroom which had everything I could need. Oven, hob, fridge (with milk!) Microwave and all cooking equipment. This room wouldn't suit a couple easily too. Everything was really clean, well presented. Very happy stay.

Clean, and well equipped kitchen studio. Good shower with instant hot water. Well located for Brecon Beacon. Host Claire was very responsive and helpful, while leaving ample space for guests to get on. On road parking wasn’t an issue. The town itself wasn’t very interesting but the property made it worth it - for easy access to walks etc north.

Claire was so friendly and approachable from the moment I arrived and she also gave me privacy during my stay (the property is family owned). I had everything I needed in my studio including an excellent kitchen space. The location is really accessible to the Pen y Fan hiking route and very central to a lot of great driving/motorbike routes. This was also great value for money and couldn’t have asked for a better place. Definitely lucked out

This guest house is a little above town but well worth the climb. The self-check-in instructions worked perfectly. The unit was huge with large comfortable bed, views of the front garden, good wifi, a great kitchen - including a washing machine and dryer, great hot water and was all very modern. The hosts also securely locked our touring bikes in their garage. We would definitely stay here again.

The property offered great value for money and was presented beautifully, the hosts were very welcoming and kindly stored our pedal bikes for us over night. Chris and Claire had genuinely thought of everything. The property was immaculate throughout and clearly maintained to a high standard. I would absolutely recommend this property to friends and family. I certainly will be staying again in the future!
