The Old Barn Tea Room in Powys - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Having homemade gluten free scones that are a generous size and warm is a coeliac’s dream! Thank you!!

Another pleasant visit to one of my favourite watering holes in Bannau Brycheiniog. Can't praise it enough! Run by a great team in such a friendly, welcoming and professional manner. Thank you all .. see you soon 😊👍

£7 for a sandwich with a side of crisps and salad, not bad, it's a nice location, except they did forget the crisps and salad..

Lovely little find.Family run and great service and food . Also dog friendly

Another great dog walk/lunch out at the Old Barn Tea rooms. Great soup and sandwich meal, staff are always friendly and pleased to see us. We go every few weeks after our Pontsticill reservoir walk.

Lovely place, very generous servings, friendly service. Old barn special is a mini afternoon tea (sandwich, scone, Welsh cake, tea), very nice. Cash only (patchy phone signal) so come prepared!

What a gorgeous tea room. Delicious and extremely good value. Family run, which gave it that extra special touch. Will be back for more hand-made cakes and to watch the birds in the garden. Stunning location. Dog friendly. Visited twice as it was that lovely.

I think we maybe turned up just before closing. We'd already walked 9 miles and were desperate for tea and the toilet. We had a cream tea which was very nice and the young woman serving was polite. The toilet offered six different soap dispensers which made me laugh. You can pay cash only. Poor wi-fi means this is the case in many such places hereabouts. We did not like the other tables being cleaned with copious amounts of furniture polish while we ate. It smelt sickly and spoilt the taste of what had been nice scones. Lovely setting, nice little business but lacking finesse.

We stopped for lunch & weren't disappointed it was wonderful & I'd definitely recommend it, they only take cash 😃

After following the signs for a long beautiful drive this place was definately worth the journey. Food was lovely,staff very friendly. Dogs allowed inside. Only negative is no signs saying it is Cash only, which could put some people off.

Such a Beautiful little hide away tea room. This was our second time we visited and the service is very friendly and spot on. It was my partners bday and they surprised him with a cake and a bday card, so thoughtful

Cute little tea room and fantastic cream tea. It was a bit of drive, but the scones was worth it. Cash only.

My parents were visiting so I took them to the old barn, they loved the drive out and were really impressed with the surroundings and the food, the home made soup of the day was lovely and the ploughman's was brilliant, great off the bone ham and loads of salad and fruit with beautiful chutney. The tea was very nice too ! The staff were very attentive and pleasant, this place has never let me down. Mark

Very friendly service, great food and a necessary stop after hiking!

Such a hidden gem. Don’t miss this if you’re in the area. The food and service were wonderful. Such a beautiful tea room.

A great afternoon tea, the staff were lovely and really attentive, the scones are worth the trip alone 👌

Lovely service, vegetarian options.

We stopped for lunch 1/2 way through our walk. The food was amazing, and the staff were so friendly. All of us enjoyed an incredibly delicious lunch, and honestly one of the best cuppas I've had. Dog friendly, cozy and comfortable.

Super sandwich 🥪 . Can't fault them.

Friendly and welcoming staff, a well kept & cosy space and the Welsh cakes were fantastic. We will be stopping in a few more times before our holiday ends

Quick, friendly and attentive service. We had ham and cheese sandwiches which came with crisps (tortilla chips) and a salad garnish. Nice selection of cakes were on offer to. The tea room was very far from where we first saw the signs for it but worth the drive. Nice converted barn with oldy worldly furniture.

Excellent food and service was exceptional good atmosphere x

Pen Y Big / Pen Y Fan / Pen Y Scran - in that order 🤌🏼 Waltzed around the horseshoe trail from the Taf Fechan Forest car park (c. 11 miles), taking just over 3 hours. Completely drained and dreading the drive back through Merthyr for some scran until I remembered I went past the tea room 1000m before the car park. Boshhhh! Walked in, found a table and plumped for the Old Barn Special for £10. Changed the tea for coffee and inhaled it all within 7 minutes. Everyone who works there are happy and look like they throughly enjoy their lives. As I lashed on the jam on top of my scone all of my troubles were momentarily cured. The enchanting tunes and sound of tea cups clinking as merry Welsh ladies potter about… oh just take me back. Do not miss this place when you’re in town!

Popped by here after a long walk. Great to have this cafe in this area. Open Sat-Thurs (closed Fridays). Nice garden space and parking. We had a couple of the old barn specials. Nice sandwiches with a small salad, moist Welsh cake and delicious freshly baked scones. Great service from a young man and woman. I’ve never been to a cafe with more choice of hand soaps. Would be really happy to stop by here again.

Dog "super" friendly. Crackin setting and top tidy staff and food!

Lovely little tea room set in the middle of the Brecon Beacons national park. Tea served in bone China tea pot with China cups, so much better than cardboard cups. Keep up the good service and traditional service.

The Old Barn tea rooms are a hidden gem of the Brecon beacons. The service is second to none. My whole family loves it here

Amazing atmospheric tea room, if the weather is nice sitting outside is recommended! The food is delicious and the staff is extremely helpful and sweet. Worth the trip!

The garden is very nice. The food and the decor is very nice. Our kid loved the garden!

Home made coffees walnut cake, lovely!

Our group of six visited on a very wet Sunday afternoon. Between us, we ordered a wide range of items e.g. soup, sandwiches, beans on toast cakes and scones. Service was prompt and efficient and overall, the food was of good quality. I imagine it depends on personal taste, but the group's views of the homemade scones were mixed. Some thought they were just right whilst others thought they were a bit heavy/stodgy. Overall though, a pleasant experience.

Tout est parfait : personnel serviable, poli et rapide, bonne nourriture et boissons, superbe cadre extérieur et intérieur. De retour de randonnée c'est un très bon arrêt !

Having diverted from our original route to visit the Old Barn, a few of the lads were complaining about the extra distance we were covering. Needless to say, it was well worth it with a great selection of food and drinks as well some great staff. Clean, welcoming and with plenty to choose from, you will most definitely enjoy refuelling here. Thanks for the experience

Sat outside and enjoyed two massive fresh scones with jam and cream and pot of of tea. Delicious. Been calling there off and on since it opened. Nice to see it doing so well

Absolutely amazing . One of the best tea rooms around. Lynda and her team work hard to be the best in the area and it shows. You won't find better

A lovely walk up to the waterfall followed by a delicious lunch at the old barn just a short drive along the road. Freshly made sandwiches and delicious leek & potato soup followed by really lovely mango & Ginger ice cream all served with a smile. Very nice place to eat with lovely food and staff. They now take card payments (I noticed some reviews say cash only)

Excellent service and very friendly staff. We had scones with tea. Scones were delicious. Tea was also very nice. Highly recommended when some is in the area.

Beautiful little spot for coffee and cake

We went here Saturday and it was Great! Lovely place with friendly staff and really great food.Welsh cakes were A1 .If you visit you won't be dissapointed !

Came here after completing the Pen y Fan Horshoe hike, the start of which is at the Neuadd car park just 10min away from the tea room. Parking and outdoor seating is plentiful. I had the cream tea, and requested one of the scones to be swapped with a Welsh cake. Both are fabulous, particularly the scones. If the sun is out, definitely get a table outside.

A quiet haven. The Old Barn Tea Room offers a simple selection of soup and sandwiches. A very enticing selection of cakes to follow. There is plenty of seating inside and outside in the quiet gardens. The staff were extremely helpful and efficient. The sound of the steam train going past was lovely hark back to older times.

A welcome break during a big ride. Beautiful garden, excellent food with friendly staff. Highly recommended

What a gem! Tucked away almost, at the end of a picturesque lake it is exactly what it's name says. Service and tea and cakes - all of very high standards. Would definitely recommend.

2 bikers had Tea in posh cups. Cake was delicious too. Pleasant place with nice ambient music

I loved this place today , after a gruelling walk losing nearly everyone I found tranquillity and sustenance - in the form of lovely building , lovely service and lovely cream tea , welshcake , and tuna sandwich -also my brother turned up - The experience gave me all the energy to go and find my friends that had got lost and missed out. Thanks

Wonderful wonderful place! It's a total oasis after a long hard walk in the national park and the staff is so attentive and friendly! The food was incredible too, I had probably one of the best lemon cakes in my life!

Quaint little place with nice filter coffee and lovely toilets.

Lovely tea room!! Food was brilliant, the half sandwich, scone and tea cake was perfect to try a bit of everything! Hot chocolate was decent too!!

I loved it. Getting there in a camper was tricky but the ambiance is fantastic, food is great and staff is lovely.

What an amazing find as we explored the area, amazing food, so fresh and clearly home made, such friendly service and great value for the food you get! Definitely coming back!!

Lovely tea room in a fabulous location with good food and service

Nice little find! Lovely lunch..

Delicious cream tea, in the sunshine, watching the birds. Beautiful location. Staff very friendly. So pleased that they offer a choice of plain or fruit scone, even though I prefer my scone slightly warm it was so fresh and yummy I'd still give it 10/10, and lashings of cream and jam. Their cakes also looked really good, I can hardly wait to come back here.

Got there a bit early before they opened on my cycle tour across Wales earlier this year. They saw me sitting outside and kindly opened up early so I could get some food and water. There was no restaurants or coffee shops nearby and I would’ve suffered a lot if not for their kindness.

Wonderful warm service and the best homemade Welsh Cakes and Scones you will find anywhere. Stunning rugged scenery of the Brecon Beacons. Our only regret is not visiting as often as we should.

We love it here, been twice now. Each time had the special, half sandwich with scone/clotted cream and a welshcake. Very friendly staff and the birds fly down for our crumbs that we put on the fence 😁

Really enjoyable visit, quick to be served and delicious 'meal/snack'

Great place to stop over for a coffee and a bite to eat in such a remote place. Would benefit from WiFi though.

Ideal stop off as part of a days cycling. Sandwiches and cakes were great. A few whiffs of septic tank outside was the only negative really.

Lovely tearoom in a lofty, old barn. Traditional menu, all homemade foods. Delicious cakes and scones. Nice old bone china tea sets and furniture. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly too, going the extra mile and bringing treats for our dog.

Love going to this tea room very friendly and lovely food

Absolutely superb. Thank you for being so welcoming to two wet walkers and their dog. Excellent scones, delicious coffee, and quality service.

Just lovely. Amazing scones. Very reasonable prices. Very dog friendly

This is a super establishment in glorious countryside. It was a really hot day and there were small tables set in the garden grounds. Luckily there are trees that provided welcomed shade. The Old Barn is a traditional tea house and gardens and is a lovely place to rest awhile and enjoy a varied menu catering for all diets. I had a good old cream tea, most enjoyable.

What a treat! Proper home cooked fayre in beautiful surroundings. Limited but quality menu that's all prepared extremely well with care and attention. Staff seem very happy and provide great service which is a good sign of a great business. Well worth the long journey for a really lovely experience.

We went to the The Old Barn Tea Rooms and had an afternoon tea, there was a good selection of cakes and sandwiches, we would definitely go back.

Lovely picturesque tea room in a remote location but we'll worth a visit. Seating both indoors or outside. If you're in the area I would highly recommend as the food is great.

Decent cafetiere of coffee and cake after long hot walk! Pleasant surroundings. Popular venue.

Super nett, preislich fair und vor allem lecker! Plätze drinnen und draußen vor dem Haus/im Garten. Unbedingte Empfehlung nach Unternehmungen im Nationalpark.

Really friendly helpful staff and a great pot of tea. Cakes looked lovely, good selection of ice cream. Garden is gorgeous and lots of space to relax and watch the birds.

Accidentally came across this place but will purposely visit next time! Gorgeous garden area to enjoy our delicious lunch. Staff were super friendly and efficient. Well done all. 👏

This is the Jewel in crown. Perfect tea rooms proper pot of tea(not teabags) also provided a teastrainer , china tea cups and crockery Brilliant sandwiches homemade scones with clotted cream and jam Of course when in wales you got to have Welsh cakes. Thank you Marcus and all theStaff

Great location, all food and beverages realistically priced, ultra helpful staff, really good dining experience and will definitely visit again and have already recommended to others.

A perfect rest stop after walking around the national park. Wonderful homemade scones, excellent sandwiches and dog friendly too. Staff were lovely and the garden is beautiful. I highly recommend.

Amazing little tea room with outdoor seating, buried in the depths of the Brecon Beacons. Lovely sandwiches, cream teas, and so on. Proper tea made with tea leaves. Wild birds will approach and collect crumbs from as close as a foot away (33cms for the younger ones). Cash only so be prepared.

Very welcoming, willing to move furniture to accommodate a wheelchair, friendly service, tasty food and served on nice crockery. A very pleasant experience!

A lovely old fashioned tea room tucked away in a secluded valley. Nice tea and soup.

Zomaar langs de weg in het mooie landschap. Prachtige rustplaats, vriendelijke bediening, lekkere thee en toebehoren.

Accommodated us for some tea after a long walk, even though they appeared to be shutting. Lovely China and proper loose leaf tea. Definitely recommend

What a fantastic place. From the vintage China to the fresh and tasty food it is a winner in every way.

Lovely place with actual tea-room like tea room. The cups looks lovely and there is some music inside. Plenty of room outside, ice-cream, great looking sandwiches and inexpensive. Plenty of parking and if you hear the steam train whistle from the distance, thats a big plus.

Quiet little place with a cozy friendly atmosphere. Can eat inside or plenty of spaces outside. Great pit stop for when you're out

Following a great day on the Cambrian Way, we took a tea stop at the Old Barn while returning to Torpantau. My friend enjoyed fresh scones with the cream tea while I had Welsh cakes which were passable for hungry walkers. The best was the copious amounts of lovely tea served traditionally in a large tea pot. The gardens were lovely too. I'll be back with my wife on a cycle up from Talybont.

Nice location, only stopped for an ice cream after a walk which was nice. Couldn't comment on the rest

Found this place and fell in love with it. Food was great, tea was beautiful. All served by lovely helpful friendly staff.

Myself and friends really enjoyed ourselves today, 6/6/2022, afternoon tea was delicious, and loads to eat , so fresh , the scones are yummy, . I strongly recommend this place staff are polite and friendly, helpful.. thank you all very much x
