A letter from Gill and Colin Badham:
Dear Visitor,
You will find a friendly and relaxed atmosphere at our converted farmhouse, Plas-y-Ffynnon.
It has some of the best views in Breconshire, into the stunning scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Looking at the peaks of Pen-y-Fan and Corndu from the conservatory you just can’t wait to get out amongst them!
Plas-y-Ffynnon is a typical stone built farmhouse in the quiet village of Battle, near the market town of Brecon. The spacious rooms are all well appointed and comfortable, with TV, hairdryers, tea and coffee making etc and most have spectacular views of the Beacons.
There is a large lounge and dining area for guests, and we are very flexible about Breakfast times for those who want to get out on the hills early, or some that prefer a leisurely start to the morning.
Plas-y-Ffynnon is ideally located for a range of outdoor activities including walking, mountain biking, canoeing, horse riding and many more, with a good stock of local maps and bike trail guides and a great drying room for all your kit.
You will find that we are always ready to help with advice on booking activities, and the best places to wine and dine in the area.
We are both keen on green issues and have set in motion a greening policy for Plas-y-Ffynnon which includes re-cycling all the kitchen waste for the kitchen garden, also all plastic and paper waste from our guests. We are at present making the garden more wild-life friendly, with bird feeders (we have some greater spotted woodpeckers visit) nesting boxes and building a large wild-life pond
We try to source the food we serve locally and go for good quality produce, using organic where possible and making our own jams and preserves
There is a large patio area for guests to enjoy in the summer months, and the conservatory area provides a great place to sit on cooler evenings to watch the sun go down.
We are keen golfers ourselves, with Gill being county captain this year, and lucky to live next to the championship golf course of Cradoc (more on the golf page). Golf packages for 2 or 3 days can be arranged, taking in Cradoc and other courses in the area. Good courses with great scenery!
Gill and Colin Badham
