Firstly, the hosts are so lovely, communicative and helpful. The 3 of us stayed in the 3 bed house and had the perfect amount of space to chill together and also have personal space. We were impressed by the whole set up, from the comfy beds to the kitchen resources, the food staples left for us (hosts adjusted for our dietry requirements too) and the unit with family games. The house was clean and homely, we felt safe. The location was good, near AONB and superstores so we had access to everything we needed (with a car). I hope to visit again!

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.

We loved staying in Angela's home so much. It was so comfortable and had everything that we needed. There were lovely touches like the little Welsh cakes and tea and coffee. The kitchen had everything that you need to prepare food. The room was lovely and warm. Thanks for the wonderful 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.
