I don't do B&B! That may sound pretentious but I like hotels and a couple of bad experiences with B&Bs have done nothing but reaffirm my feelings - well that was until last weekend. A chance encounter with a guide to great little places to stay in Wales and here I am: in a B&B but... Penbontbren is not normal. It is quite simply exquisite.
At the end of some great little roads you find the entrance and as if by magic Richard is there, anticipating your arrival and within minutes you feel at home and are shown rooms which whilst I am clearly only able to judge based on the room we stayed in, are simply beautiful and not just rooms but expansive suites.
The grounds provide a great sanctuary in which to unwind and the traditional breakfast is served with a panache that simply completes the experience.
It sits, quite justifiably alongside great hotels as a fantastic place to stay.
If there were to be a negative it is simply that there are no restaurants in walking distance, hence you need to drive however there are some great local places to eat and we will be going back.

From the impeccable buildings and furnishings to the sumptious breakfast spread, nothing was too much trouble for our hosts.

This place is a hidden gem. I travelled for relaxation as I had been unwell. What a great decision it was wonderful. Richard is a fantastic host and definitely in the right profession. Nothing is too much trouble. Beautiful suites so tastefully decorated, the most comfortable bed ever, gorgeous breakfasts and a very well stocked mini bar. I will be back for sure.

Penbontbren – can be summed up by a definition of ‘Exquisite’. It has a very special beauty, charm, and a rare and appealing excellence. All things taken into consideration during our stay here – Penbontbren – which is run by the most charming Richard and Huws, could not be a more welcoming, relaxing and refreshing place to stay-a-while and de-stress. We relaxed in the little sitting area –drinks cabinet on hand – followed by a lovely hot bath – then fell into a sumptuous and comfy bed for a good nights sleep. We woke and watched the sun rise across the beautifully manicured grounds,from our own patio area – then nipped over to the dining room for a scrumptious breakfast and a quick and friendly chat with Richard. Penbontbren is very well placed for many beautiful beaches and general sightseeing. I would highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast as it consistently delivers everything from good manners to excellent service & amenities. Well done you Two! We were so impressed we will be back in January ;-}

It still wouldn't match up to Penbontbren, where do you start with a review of this place? is it with the warm welcome, or the superb apartments, or is it the wonderful breakfast, or maybe the calm, quiet grounds. It is all of these and more besides.
When we arrived Richard and Huw were off having a couple of days well earned break after a busy season, so we were left in the very capable hands of Carol, who made us feel at home straight away, and for the next 2 days looked after us at breakfast whilst ensuring our rooms were serviced to the highest standard. The breakfasts are a long lazy delight, fresh fruit salad, cereals of all types (including Gluten free, cold meats and cheeses, fruit juice etc. the list goes on and on, endless tea and toast and then on to the main event a cooked breakfast from heaven, again a superb choice (you will have to visit to see the full list) on the third morning I tried the Lavabread, Cockles and Bacon with a poached egg, and it was a real joy.
The apartments are stunning with every conceivable need catered for, really sumptuous furnishings and wonderfully warm.
When Richard and Huw came back they were both a pleasure, keeping us advised on places to visit and where to eat, they will even book the tables for you.
Sadly after only 5 nights we had to leave, but please be assured you arrive as guests but leave as friends, thank you Carol, Richard and Huw, you made a good break great! See you next March. Jan & Stewart.

Penbontbren is a magical little gem that exceeded our expectations in a big way. My wife has recently fallen pregnant so we have had to abandon our plans of a long 2 week caribean holiday in August and have instead looked at taking a series of long weekends over the coming months. This was our first and we were looking for a great little B&B that offered that something extra. Well we werent dissapointed, the converted farm is just stunningly beautiful, and the room we had was impecibly thought out. The attention to detail was outstanding, from the luxuriously comfortable bed, to the easy to use lovely coffee machine and quality bath products. Richard greeted each morning at breakfast and you couldnt want for a more charming host, the breakfast was really good and set us up for the days exploring of the cardigan bay coastline and the pembrokeshire coast, both just a short drive to stunning scenery.

We stayed at Penbontbren for three nights last week not only were we highly impressed with the standard of the room, which felt more like our own apartment but were also highly impressed with the hospitality provided by Richard and the team.

Our Stay was wonderful. The Suite very clean and furnished in light and welcoming colors. Nothing broken or time-worn. A quiet and familiary atmosphere.
The Manager always was very friendly and helpful to find the nicest places in West Wales.
We fully recommend this address!

Our stay at Penbontben was fantastic. We were greeted by Richard who immediately made us feel at home. Our suite was excellent with a comfortably furnished lounge and spacious bedroom with a huge bed and crisp clean linen. Richard recommended a local restaurant for dinner and even arranged for us to be taken there by taxi. It seemed as though nothing was too much trouble and he really was a perfect host. Breakfast was delicious and my husband enjoyed the Welsh speciality of cockles and laver bread. We will definitely return and highly recommend Penbontbren. Such a ptiy dinner is not available as I am sure it would be a real treat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Penbontbren in late August. Both the accommodation and the breakfast menu are of an exceptional standard. There is a level of quality and attention to detail that, for us, fully met /exceeded our expectations. This, together with a professional, helpful and friendly atmosphere skillfully created by the owner, Richard, mean that we would (and have) strongly recommended this venue to friends. We are keen walkers and were able to use Penbontbren as a good base for exploring the coast paths, etc. This relatively new enterprise actively promotes the best local products and services and fully deserves the success it appears to be achieving.

We have had the most relaxing holiday we have ever had staying at Penbontren. The facilities and the attention to detail in both the rooms are superb, definitely 5 star. We stayed 12 nights and wanted to stay more! Our hosts were exceptionally caring, considerate and very humorous. The breakfasts were scrumptious with every alternative you could wish and the quality of food and cooking beyond 5 star - all the ingredient were produced locally and their very own eggs make for a wonderful breakfast, with haddock or smoked salmon or cockles!
We were recommended to some high quality places to eat out too, which helped make our holiday. You could not possibly falut it! Thankyou both Richard and Hugh for your service par excellence!

We needn't have worried that our first jaunt down to West Wales would have brought us to a place any more perfect than Richard and Huw's haven that is Penbontbren. A meticulous attention to detail made all the difference for us, well deserving the accolade of being a 'luxury' B & B. Delicious locally sourced food served up for a perfect, leisurely breakfast set us up for the day, if the weather lets you down as soon as we returned to our apartment our spirits were lifted. We are torn between praising such a wonderful place for a getaway and saving the secret for ourselves. Thank you to all the staff at Penbontbren for making our stay as fantastic as it was.

We had a wonderful four day stay and this recently renovated Inn. The spacious and elegantly appointed room was comfortable and relaxing. The environment intoxicating and the food is excellent and ample. We would love to come back to spend time here. Great area too
