Mobility Description:
Brynhonddu Country House B&B is set within the Main Estate House of Bwlch Trewyn Estate in the foothills of the Black Mountains on the eastern side of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The terrain is hilly and the roads around the property are inclined. It would be difficult for guests with more than the minimum of mobility problems to cope with the slopes around the property if they expected to travel on foot. We have within the property stairs up to the bed room accommodation which should cause no trouble to guests that are able to cope with normal upper floor access. Wheelchair access to the ground floor area is possible but we have no lift facilities within the building to the upper floors.
Smoking Policy: No smoking
Dining Facilities:
- The dining room utilises what was originally a wood panelled study with a neo traditional Tudor fireplace established in the Victorian period when this wing of the house was added. We have tried to re-establish the deco to suit the fireplace where possible. Breakfast is served around our large period dining table providing a spacious friendly informal occasion.
