A truly blissful night away!! Me and my wife chose to visit the Cribyn Lodge, home of Synergy Massage Retreat, for a one night stay to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and are so glad that we did. In order to spoil ourselves and relax we also booked in for a meal at the Hills burger restaurant and a couples massage, for my wife her first experience of any kind of professional massage. We were welcomed upon arrival by Pete, he kindly asked due to current times that we sanitise our hands throughout our stay after entering the premises from outside, and if we minded having our temperature checked, he also showed us his own temperature 👍. Pete treated us to a guided tour the facilities and our room, which was located in the house nextdoor too the Lodge check in and Synergy Massage Retreat. The lodge and rooms were very clean and well decorated, very large bed, tv with fire stick for entertainment, large bathroom with whirlpool bath and had access to the kitchen downstairs for tea and coffee facilities etc. For our couples massage which as done in the same suite and performed by Pete and masseuse Zoe. Pete explained that he is a master in traditional hot oil massage and one of the best at what he does, I gather Zoe has been tutored by Pete to give as close of an experience to his own as possible. He answered all questions that my wife had, as mentioned with no prior experience of massage, very professionally and helped reassure her putting her mind at ease. Amazing experience from Zoe! My wife was massaged by Pete, I was made to feel totally relaxed for the entire hour and was like no other massage that I had received, one you must experience it for yourself. I look forward to my next massage and receiving a massage from Pete himself in the near future. We had our privacy for the rest of the day, until morning we went down for our healthy continental breakfast at the time we requested. It was an amazing stay and a huge shame we could not stay another night, however left feeling happy and relaxed. Thank you for such a lovely night away.

Super little guest house - immaculately clean and comfortable, and a friendly relaxed host. Very convenient to the Castle Hotel and a short walk into Brecon town centre. Highlight of our short stay was the superb massage provided by Peter - highly recommended!

What a delightful gem this is! Situated in the picturesque town of Brecon and in the foothills of the spectacular Brecon Beacons, Cribyn Lodge is a delight from the moment you set foot in the door and are greeted by the lovely host. Warm and welcoming, the bedrooms are all beautifully decorated and the beds very comfortable. The communal lounge and conservatory are comfortable and inviting and a lovely area to relax in after a day exploring or climbing the mountains. The twinkling lighting in the conservatory and candlelight throughout the lodge, lend themselves to the opportunity to relax and enjoy a conversation with other guests and Pete, the host for your stay. The area is outstandingly beautiful at any time of the year and this is a perfect place as a base for your stay. But the jewel in the crown has to be the bonus of this also being a massage retreat. With two very comfortable, warm and scented treatment rooms, and the hands of a master of his craft, whatever aches, pains, stresses or worries you arrive with, will quickly be soothed away. I found Pete to be calm, respectful and reassuring. Other massages I have had in the past, pale by comparison. So if you are reading this review with the intention of visiting the area, please don't hesitate. Whether for a night or two as a guest house, or better still, for the complete package, you will not be disappointed !! And I even heard a rumor that regular visitors will get their own named mug ! Not a touch you would expect from other guest houses :) but a mark of the standards here to make you so welcome.

Lovely place, very close to town, Pete was very friendly and a lovely continental breakfast. Would stay here again 😀

I booked a one night mini break package in the Pen Y Fan suite. On arrival I was given a very warm welcome from Pete and was shown up to my room. The room was spacious, beautifully presented and very relaxing after a long drive. The added bonus to my great delight were beautiful mountain views. After my evening meal it was time for my massage. Wow!! Pete was incredibly professional and put me at ease straight away, I have had a few massages but can honestly say this was by far the best I have experienced. The name ‘Total Relaxation Massage’ is spot on. I can’t remember the last time I felt so relaxed. After a very comfortable, restful nights sleep I enjoyed a nice chat with Pete whilst enjoying my breakfast. This was certainly the most relaxed host and home I have stayed at. I also had a sneaky peek in the other rooms as I was last to leave and all looked equally lovely, I’m tempted to try a different room next time. I would highly recommend the package, my only error was booking for 1 night and not 2 or maybe even 3. Pure relaxation.
