The Courtyard Wing, Penpont

Historic charm and modern comfort in the heart of Bannau Brycheiniog

Tucked behind the main house, the self-catering Courtyard Wing at Penpont offers elegant accommodation for up to 16 guests within one of Wales’s most characterful country estates. Originally built in the 1660s and beautifully restored, this Grade I listed property provides a peaceful setting for family gatherings, retreats, and special celebrations.

The Courtyard Wing combines period details with modern comfort, featuring six spacious bedrooms, large communal living areas, and a well-equipped kitchen with a dining table seating 16. Outside, the enclosed courtyard includes outdoor furniture, a BBQ, and a south-facing terrace beside the 1825 conservatory.

Guests are welcome to explore the estate’s gardens and woodland walks, pick up local produce from the on-site Farm Shop, or unwind by the river, where Penpont holds fishing rights along a mile of the River Usk. The wood-fired sauna on the riverbank can be hired privately or enjoyed during communal sessions.

With organic vegetables from the walled garden, homemade jams, local meats, and even the occasional open-air feast or summer event, Penpont is a true celebration of nature, community, and heritage.
