My wife and I had a lovely few days here. The cottage was very comfortable and clean and the owners were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. If youre after a place to get away from it all, go on a few nice walks, and maybe read a book a two, this is the place for you.

We had a lovely stay. Nice, clean and tidy place, with everything needed. It was great to get out of the city with the dog. The dog loved it! Remote, but lovely community and small village vibe. Easy to access local towns such as Brecon and Sennybridge by car and lots of beautiful Welsh countryside to explore too. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely hosts and lovely cottages. Some improvements that might help but not essential. Location would be 5 if there were better pathed foot and dog walks on the farmland itself - these are easy to create around the hedge lines. The velux blinds in the main bedroom were broken and would be useful to fix (especially in this unusual heat) For this Read moreparticular cottage there appears to be no specific rear or exterior seating whereas the two adjoining cottages did have rear seating . In this unusual heat it would be useful in the future to have stand up fans supplied for each bedroom . These really are nice to haves and are polite suggestions only. The farm is lovely and so much to do within 20 mins drive and I would stay again but probably in one of their bigger cottages with outside seating. We had a young baby girl (4 months) and a large young active dog (used to long off lead walks) and the suggestions made are because of that. Hope this helps and than you to our hosts and to best of wales for all being very helpful . Hide

In the kitchen the knives were blunt and one of the chopping boards had melted. The drawers in the bedrooms were very stiff and difficult to open. Other than that it was a lovely stay and the hot tub was a bonus!
