Reviews

<strong>Lovely Cottage with very helpful and friendly owners. </strong><br /> e hired an electric day boat on the Brecon canal. Enjoyed visits to the Big Pit and Caves and enjoyed driving the Mountain road for great views.

Family from N,

We had a fantastic week at the cottage. Lovely cottage in an excellent location. Owners are really nice and although next door we never felt monitored or lost any privacy. Great walks from the back door and a cracking pub literally over the road. Very dog friendly. We Will definitely be booking here again. Highly recommended.

Mr F,

The owners, who live next door were very helpful and pleasant. The village was located in a really quite and rural village location for people who like to “get away from it all”. But with a nice friendly local village pub almost opposite.

Previous Customer,

I had a lovely stay at the cottage and Jan is a great host. The homemade goodies on arrival were a delight! The cottage is well equipped, the bed was comfortable and the location is perfect for discovering the different sides of the Brecon Beacons. A couple of things that I found hadn't been mentioned in previous reviews but are good to know: - The boiler is very noisy and you can hear it throughout the whole downstairs of the cottage. I found it overbearing though you do get used to it a bit after a while - The shower pressure is low - this was fine for me as I was on my own and not in a rush - There is no WiFi signal in the kitchen / diner

Ms W,

Absolutely gorgeous cottage in the most beautiful location. The owners had left homemade apple juice, jam, chutney and Welsh cakes along with eggs from their own chickens, in the cottage on our arrival and were so friendly and helpful. Would love to stay again!

Mrs E,

A lovely cottage in a gorgeous village with a great pub only 30 seconds walk from the cottage.

Mr C,

A lovely cosy cottage with log burner in the middle of nowhere, sheer bliss. A community run pub almost next door that served good food was a bonus. We took our 3 German Shepherds and did lots of walking without having to drive too far. We arrived to some lovely homemade goodies and nice eggs from the free range hens that roamed the garden.

Mrs H,

Highly recommend staying here - very clean comfortable cottage . Hosts were so friendly. Delightful village , beautiful surroundings.

Mr L,

Great cottage, beautiful location, very cosy and comfortable. Very welcoming and helpful hosts who even presented us with some homemade tasty welcome gifts and towels for the dogs. Local pub is 100 yds away and does the simple things well and is equally welcoming. Highly recommend.

Mr B,

This is a beautiful part of Wales with traditional market towns, stunning landscape, waterfalls, canal paths, castles and plenty of family attractions. The scenery here is both beautiful and diverse, ranging from rolling countryside and valleys, to the wild beauty of the waterfalls and caves. Wales is well known for its castles and perhaps one of the most dramatic is Carreg Cennen near Llandeilo.

The scenic Heart of Wales train line stops at Llandovery.

Cultural highlights include the Brecon Jazz Festival in August, the Hay Festival in late May/early June and the Green Man Festival held near Crickhowell in August. The Royal Welsh Agricultural Show in July and the Winter Fair in December both held in Builth Wells are highlights of the year for the agricultural community.
