The Bull Pen is on a quiet farm with only a few sheep. It is surrounded by fields and the beautiful Welsh countryside. You will see the lambs playing in the spring and the pony grazing peacefully in the field. The chickens are free range around the farm and fresh eggs if they are laying are given to guests on arrival to the cottage.The Bull Pen has a large fenced garden which is great for dogs and children. Converted from the old farm bull pen, the space makes full use of the original structure of the building, with large windows allowing plenty of light. There is geothermal underfloor heating which gives a wonderful radiant heat through out. The Bull Pen has a very spacious, light and well equipped kitchen with an electric cooker and hob, microwave, large fridge and a freezer, dishwasher etc. There is plenty of storage space and a large central dining table and chairs with windows all around to be able to enjoy the ever-changing scenery. The utility room has more storage space with a washing machine and a drying area for laundry. The warm and comfortable sitting room has sofas and chairs set around a wood burning stove which creates a lovely cosy atmosphere.
This is our family business and we take pride in ensuring our guests have a wonderful stay
