Beautiful cottage. Modern and immaculate. Everything that you will need. Quiet location. On-site or street parking. Host is warm and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble for her. Plenty of space for a family who want a clean and homely place to stay. It is a one room open plan abode, and this should be considered if you are a family wanting to stay.

Great location at the edge of Brecon Becons, close to lots of optional activities (Zip World and Dare Valley Country Park were our highlights). The cottage itself is full of lots of little extras to help make the stay more enjoyable e.g., sharp knives which are a rarity in holiday cottages! Shower was also very good and daughter loved the bunk-beds.

In case it's helpful to note, the check-in is at bar/ restaurant counter. Very friendly staff. Room is spacious and comfortable. There was bottled water and biscuits which was a nice touch. The bathroom is spacious too with good shower power. The cooked breakfast sets you up for your walks for the day. Good location to the Brecon Beacons. Many restaurants and shops just walking distance away.

The pictures do not do this lovely little cottage justice. It was homely with plenty of space for the four of us and it was quite the bonus that each bedroom had its own ensuite, something I was not expecting! We will definitely return as the location is ideal and it has all the amenities one could ask for.

The house was in a prime location close to major supermarkets and stunning aberdare park. The garden overlooks beautiful scenic views of the hills. The hosts are brilliant. We needed an iron and washing up liquid late at night and within 5 minutes the hosts had dropped them off.
