Celestia | Luxury Farmhouse | Pen-y-Fan, Brecon Beacons, Wales

Guest testimonials

Thank you for a lovely stay, the house is stunning and kitted out perfectly with lots of lovely things. We loved the welcome goodie bag (so thoughtful) and the dog beds were an absolute godsend for our 2 Vizslas. The garden is just blissful and we have enjoyed watching the charms of goldfinches and the ever-adventurous house martins feeding their chicks.

A wonderful, magical time for me and the children to spend Christmas in an enchanting setting. Huge thanks and best wishes.

Celestia proved the perfect location to see in the New Year with family. Entertaining in the farm house kitchen was an absolute joy! The location provided beautiful scenery as well as interesting and varied walks for 3 generations. Thank you for sharing such a precious place.

We had a wonderful stay in this idyllic home, making lasting memories. A unique building full of history, in a beautiful and tranquil part of the world.

What an incredible spot! We had a fabulous week, thanks so much for sharing this incredible place. Highlights included beautiful walks, fabulous family meals, watching the Housemartins dance overhead.

For our family gathering, what a truly special place. Celestia was perfect for our get together. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us all. We had a brilliant stay, leaving recharged and very happy.

A mixed bunch of lovely ladies all brought together to share an amazing 50th Birthday. Literally, the most perfect house and setting for it, so thank you for that. The house has everything we need and every element made it feel like luxury.

Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful home, with all it´s lovely fixtures and fittings, the gardens, and the nearby waterfalls and trails - all fabulous. Celestia made the best base for my birthday gathering. We were all so tired each day from being out and about that we never even got the chance to play pool!

Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous home. It has been massively restorative to our team. We enjoyed morning yoga and guided mediation in the barn. Having meetings looking at nature was incredible, and then we got a lovely snowy landscape. We will definitely be back!

A beautiful home, beyond our expectations. We have lived like lords and ladies of the manor for the whole weekend. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

We´ve had the most amazing Christmas with my parents and extended family. No words describe your hidden gem and lovely touches. We wish we could keep Celestia a secret, but we will be back!

We´ve had the most brilliant weekend - thank you for sharing your amazing home with us. We´ve loved sharing some very special family time; having fun and relaxing. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay, one of the best houses we´ve stayed at. The endless treats that were provided made it so welcoming and so generous of the the owners. Exploring the numerous walks and streams were so exciting and fun. Two families and grandparents stayed here and it catered for everyone with loads of room. Even the dog got spoiled and had a great time. I wish we were here for longer as there is so much more to do, hopefully we´ll visit again sometime.

Thank you for sharing this amazing house and valley with us for our family holiday. Three families, seven children, and six adults, we felt like we had so much to do around us. Beautiful walks up and down the streams and rivers, making daisy chains and den building. Hilltop walks and valley runs! Celestia was perfect with the baby grand piano the cherry on the cake! So nice to have music in this gorgeous house during the day. We leave happy and relaxed and look forward to coming back some day.

Celestia reached the peak of the most precious family weekends possible. Thank you for making it perfect as always. We had fun, great meals, fun walks, tiny smiles, small adventures, and the memories that all of us share make it so very special. We cherish it. Thank you.

Thank you so very much to the owners for sharing your precious home with us. From the moment we arrived we have been enchanted with this space. So stylish, comfortable, expansive, welcoming and filled to capacity with the best of everything we enjoy. Flutes, dishes, Welsh blankets, outside seating, to walks the gardens, local pubs, the piano, the Aga, meals at the long table, champagne, and fine card games at night.

Thank you for sharing such an incredible location and home. The excitement from our 1 and 2-year old when they found the books and toys you kindly left was amazing. Entertaining in the main kitchen with all ages around the table together was joyful and madness all in one! You have a beautiful property and made us feel so so welcome and at home! A huge thank you

The property was stunning. The location even more so. Even though it´s a very old property, all needs were thought of and we all loved it. Celestia was exactly what I wanted for a family holiday for my 40th birthday.

The house was absolutely amazing, we truly loved it, and positioned in such an incredible location. The owners have clearly taken great care which is clear to see, it´s beautifully done! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Many thanks to the owners of Celestia for providing such a fabulous place to stay. We were so lucky to be there for the meteor shower, in a place with such great visibility thanks to the Dark Sky Reserve, also with the full star gazing kit waiting for us! Everyone absolutely loved it and the kids all have totally unbelievable stories of how many shooting stars they saw. The owners have really thought of everything inside and out including the welcome hamper. We will definitely be back!

Our stay was simply magical! Words fail to describe our stay, but if I had to put it into words, I would say "a beautiful house with all you need. Amazing setting in the middle of nowhere, mountains and a stream to bathe in for the brave." If you want to celebrate and enjoy nature, Celestia ticks every box. The hosts went above and beyond what we would have expected and will certainly come again.

This place is a glimpse of Heaven, with the space to explore, breathe and spend magical time with friends and family. It´s somewhere you feel very lucky to have found, sad to leave but excited about coming back to.

Three families living the dream, miles away from everything in our own hilltop hideaway. Morning started with big breakfasts from the AGA, before kids´ (and adults) run wild through the garden, in and out of streams and up into the mountains on our doorstep. Evenings disappeared around the fire pit and pool table as the sun slowly set behind the Black Mountains. A magical time that we´ll never forget

We stayed at Celestia in early June with a party of friends with mixed-age kids. The location is breathtaking with far-reaching mountains and a little stream in the back garden. Our kids played outside all day only coming back to the house for food. The house is as beautiful on the inside as the out; great social spaces, a well-equipped kitchen and gorgeous décor. Can´t wait to go back again and unplug in this truly special place.
