Beautiful property, room was so lovely and spacious, and the bed was so comfortable. Owners Julie and David were so attentive, helpful and brilliant hosts. The breakfasts cooked by David were delicious too. Thoroughly recommend - we would absolutely stay again!

An unforgettable stay at David & Julie's charming Bed & Breakfast in Wales! From the moment we arrived, their warm hospitality and attention to detail made us feel like their home was our own. The decor was impeccable, and the spacious rooms provided amazing accommodations. Each corner of their home exuded comfort and coziness, creating a perfect retreat. And let's not forget the breathtaking grounds surrounding the B&B, offering a serene backdrop for relaxation and exploration. David & Julie truly create a haven for their guests, where every moment is a treasure. Cannot recommend this delightful B&B enough!

The Skreen is a wonderful old stone build house in a quiet rural location. The hosts were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed an excellent cooked breakfast and would recommend The Skreen to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Builth Wells area.

Having to leave!

The Skreen is a beautifully restored manor house situated in the Wye valley, just outside of the historic market town of Builth Wells. On the approach you are greeted by the sweeping return of the gravel drive, leading into the well-tended lawn and gardens, all of which frame the surrounding landscape to perfection, capped off by the Black Mountains in the distance. The reception and main hallway are the first inkling of the exceptionally high standards you can expect throughout the property. This second only to the very warm welcome from your hosts, David and Julie. The dining hall is a sublime mix of old and new, beautifully blended to provide a comfortable and stylish room full of curios and personal touches. Expect a sumptuous spread at breakfast, the full Welsh is heartily recommended, well-prepared and served with convivial conversation by your hosts. The Green Room is nothing less than a lesson in sartorial elegance. Wonderfully positioned to overlook the lawn and gardens, with a décor that is worthy of a high-end London boutique. The curated furniture and furnishings are well presented in a clean and comfortable way. This is style with, not over, substance. If you do want to venture out The Skreen is ideally located for walking or cycling in the stunning scenery or to visit local towns such as Hay on Wye and Foyles at Glasbury is fabulous for dinner. A 2 night stay simply was not enough to fully appreciate this oasis of calm tranquillity - we have already booked to come back and stay longer!

Only thing i can say is we had a standard double bed and we are used to a king so found that did'nt suit us, but we took last available room which happened to have a double where as other rooms have king size beds. It was very comfortable anyway and a minor point.

Absolutly outstanding, the level of finish and attention to detail on every level was second to none. The location is breathtaking , Davi and Julie are so welcoming and warm and the property is of the highest level. The breakfast was excellent. If you take the walk up to the view point and look down into the valley it is so worth it. I find it very hard to find fault as my partner and i thought it was superb and look forward to going back.

I was surprised that our room was not serviced each day but, as it turned out, I think I preferred that.

This is a most lovely place to stay. Peaceful and very relaxing. The room was very large and so was the bathroom with everything you could want. Breakfast was excellent with a very good choice. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly.

Nothing. It was excellent. Finding it was a little tricky but once we had it was easy to get to.

No fresh fruit on breakfast buffet like blueberries, for example. Initially difficult to find but the host very kindly came out to find us!

Stunning location with beautiful views. The house was exceptionally presented. The hosts were very friendly and spent time with us. Initially had difficulty finding the Skreen but when we called the host drove out to collect us and lead the way. Great full breakfast with options of cereals, tea and coffee.
