Property Details

This striking guest house is ideally situated in a prominent location just on the outskirts of Brecon centre, just 200 metres from the town centre, facing the main road that leads into Brecon via the A40 and A470 routes. Over the years, the current owners have made significant improvements to the property, which now includes the following features:

Guest Areas

Upon entering the property, guests are welcomed into a hallway that leads directly into the Dining Room, a cosy space featuring a part-beamed ceiling, carpeted floors, and stylish furnishings (can be negotiated), with seating for up to 16 guests. The Residents' Lounge is a comfortable and inviting area with a striking stone fireplace, a solid fuel burner, and relaxed seating for 10 people. There is also an honesty bar available to guests. Additional amenities on the ground floor include a Customer Toilet and a Drying Room.
The Kitchen was fully refurbished approximately four years ago, featuring modern fittings, including a large extraction canopy, tiled walls, and floors. While it primarily serves breakfast, it has been designed with high-quality, domestic-grade units. There is currently no provision for evening meals. Adjacent to the kitchen are three rooms:
a Freezer Room/Dry Store, a Laundry Room, and a Workshop.
Guest Rooms
The upper two floors of the property consist of nine en-suite guest bedrooms, all of which are tastefully decorated and equipped with modern amenities, including tea and coffee-making facilities, televisions, and full bedroom suites. The room breakdown is as follows:



First Floor
- *Room 1 ("Wysg")*: Twin room with an en-suite shower
- *Room 2 ("Yscir")*: Double room with an en-suite shower
- *Room 3 ("Brynych")*: King-size room with an en-suite shower
- *Room 4 ("Gwdi")*: Double room with an en-suite bathroom
- *Room 5 ("Honddu")*: Double room with an en-suite shower

Additionally, there is an office and linen storage on this level.

Second Floor
- *Room 6 ("Taf"): Super king/twin room with zip-and-link beds and an en-suite shower
- *Room 7 ("Sinvi"): Double room with an en-suite shower
- *Room 8 ("Sere"): Large twin room with an en-suite shower
- *Room 9 ("Llynfi"): A suite featuring a four-poster bed and an adjoining room with a single bed, along with an en-suite shower and a dressing room.

There is also a large Laundry Room on the second floor.
Private Accommodation

The owners’ living space is on the ground floor and includes two bedrooms. One is a generous double with an en-suite bathroom, while the second is another double with an en-suite WC and wash basin. Additionally, there is a private Lounge on the first floor, complete with a fireplace.
Since purchasing the property in June 2016, the current owners have carefully upgraded the entire guest house, building a successful business based on accommodation alone. The accounts for the financial year ending March 2023 are expected to show a turnover of approximately £85,000, which remains just under the VAT threshold.

This impressive revenue has been achieved despite the property being closed for ten weeks each year for the owners’ holidays, and some guest rooms are reserved for private use. There is considerable potential for further business growth by making all rooms available for guests year-round.
The Location

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
