exceptional, leading the way in great service

what a memorable trip that started and finale'd with this wonderful and friendly B&B; clean and tidy with very friendly owners who went out of their way to accommodate requests outside of the remit of any other accommodation; we were made to feel most welcome to immaculate rooms and spacious guest lounge and breakfast room over looking the 'Sugar Loaf' the breakfast offering was both plentiful and perfectly cooked, set in a remote and relaxing location accessible by cars and mini busses. thank you so much.

The room was very comfortable, clean and had wonderful views of the mountains. The bed was lovely and comfortable, and the breakfast was just superb. Although quite a treck around narrow winding lanes to get there...it was definitely worth it. Lovely family-run bed and breakfast...I would highly recommend it. (Stayed 2 nights - 25th and 26th July, 25).

What an amazing place and helpful friendly people. I was going to go out after arriving and freshening up but it was so lovely I stayed in. The welcome was warm, friendly and informative. The room was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. The weather was windy and raining in the evening but I slept like a baby without anything disturbing me. And now to the best bit, breakfast. I do travel a lot so I do not say this lightly. Best breakfast ever. Tasty bacon and sausage , clearly excellent quality and everything else on the plate was perfect too. I am already thinking of an excuse to bring my wife for a visit for a short break away, there does seem to be plenty to do in the area. Bravo

Very enjoyable stay

A comfortable stay in a lovely location. We enjoyed our brief visit and wish we could have stayed longer. As we don't eat breakfast the owners very kindly provided us with a generous packed lunch instead - thank you, Sarah and Paul, for your flexibility and kindness. We enjoyed a trip to the fascinating Llanthony Priory and charming Crickhowell which has a lovely bookshop and excellent organic shop. Dinner at the Crown in Pantygelli was amazing!

Lovely location and stay

The Celyn is located in an outstanding rural position. From the moment you arrive Sarah and Paul were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was good sized, clean with outstanding views over the farm. The sheep and lambs were in the field in front and it was nice to see them. The bed was very comfortable and we slept really well. The cooked breakfast was very high quality and very tasty and worthy of the reviews I had previously read. Overall the Celyn is a credit to Sarah and Paul and we can recommend it as a top quality B&B .
