Perfect for us and our dog for a relaxing week. The views are beautiful and it is very quiet and very dark at night. The cottage is in the grounds of the big house and the caretakers cottage is also nearby so it isnt isolated but we werent disturbed at all.

We had a lovely Holliday here, the caretaker is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the house was not very clean. The cushions on the sofa where a little bit smelly so we washed them. The shower was cleanish, the curtains where grey and lots of dead flys. The weather was absolutely lovely and about 30 degrees so the house gets quite warm. The Read moreshower can only set to hot, hotter and hell so please fix that. The bed is horrible not any comfort at all and small. Hide

This really is a very nice holiday cottage in lovely surroundings and very quiet and peaceful. The owners need to address some minor issues but none of these would not deter us from going again. Crickhowell is a great little town, but to walk in, you must take the footpath by the river, turn right on the main road and the entrance is about 100m on Read morethe left. All the pubs have very nice real ale. We did a very enjoyable walk from the 'Cracking Walks' book in the cottage. The weather was very kind! Hide

Not as totally private as you may hope as the caretaker as nice has he may be kept walking around the edge of the garden. No umbrella for shade as a south facing garden. If you are a dog owner there is no walks from the property. It always involves a drive. Although fantastic walks out of Crickhowell in every direction.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Be warned however, that you cannot go for a walk anywhere from the property and especially not into town. The website describes the cottage as Crickhowell Town. This is very misleading. It is a mile into Crickhowell, half of which is along the A40 with no footpath so not safe to walk. You will have to driveRead more everywhere. Area is beautiful and perfect for walking and hiking. Caretaker and wife are lovely and most helpful. Bring a corkscrew! Hide
