My friend and I popped in here for tea and cakes one Saturday afternoon after walking in the Brecon Beacons. There are plenty of walks near here, and tea and homemade cake on the patio afterwards is a real treat. There are fantastic views of the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains. The food is freshly cooked and I can... More

Visited on the 22nd April with family (3 adults, 2 children aged 4). Weather was ok - mix of sun and showers. Great day had by all. My son and niece especially had a great time. There was more than enough to keep us all entertained. When it rained we just went inside - used the soft play area and... More

this adventure farm is only listed under the riding school. the farm itself is well worth a day out for children.i would suggest on a dry day or better still a sunny one as the surrounding scenery is wonderful a cafe provides good food or take a picnic. there are enough attractions to keep children amused,not of alton towers standards...

Really disappointed in our visit. many of the attractions weren't open such as the pig racing and dragon ride. Play equiptment looks a bit dated and and in need of repair. There was a football area at the bottom of the field which only had a broken football and we ran out of things to do in a short space... More

We had a brilliant time all together staying in the bunk house which was excellent! We had two half day rides which were very well organised. We have been on several treks and for the first time was given instruction as to get your riding position and be able to ride your horse as safely as possible. We hope to... More

If you can't walk the Brecon Beacons National Park, then I suggest visiting Cantref Riding Center. The horses are gentle, and you don't need to worry about them. Riding along the narrow roads to the Beacons and being able to see over the hedges was an additional pleasure. The staff were very attentive and taught new-riders the basics before setting... More

I booked on to an all day trek, the time flew by. Ponies has lots of life. The trek route was more adventurous then expected, had a few canters and walked across the beacons and several streams. What a great way to see Wales! More
