Tall John’s House in Brecon is undergoing a refurbishment
Tall John's House in Brecon is undergoing a refurbishment. "It has become increasingly obvious to us that one of the great attractions of Tall John's Weddings is that we have on-site accommodation for up to 25 people across the Manor House, Stables and Saddlers," says owner Liza Watson. "This is in addition to our two self-catering cottages, which are included in the wedding package and sleep 10 in total. Bearing this in mind, we are in the process of a big refurbishment of the reception areas of the Manor House. We have moved our snooker table into a newly-formed Games Room which is adjoining our Granary. This makes the room dual purpose as we have a top for the table, and it magically turns into a serving area for drinks and canapés.
