A lovely compact cottage in a secluded location. We enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful break and Carol the owner was on hand and very supportive. An excellent location for exploring the Brecon Beacons.

We had a wonderful time! Carol and Geoff were lovely hosts. The house was super clean, cozy and nicely decorated. We even got some free eggs from the chicken on the farm and more. The cute former stray cat welcomed us a few times after our trips and it just felt like being home. Thanks a lot for this wonderful experience!

We absolutely loved this cottage. It was cosy, comfortable and well-equipped and we received a very warm welcome from Carol. Although the cottage is right next to the farmhouse and close to the farmyard it was incredibly quiet. The cottage is centrally located in the Brecon Beacons and a shortish drive to the start of many great walks, as well as tRead morehe town of Brecon. We got some great walking ideas from the many books in the cottage. Highly recommend. Hide

This was the perfect cottage for our Christmas break, cosy, comfortable, well equipped and in a good location for walks in Bannau Bryncheiliog. The owners made us feel very welcome, and we enjoyed the visits by the farm cat. We hope to return, and would recommend it.

Beautiful, comfortable cottage, superbly equipped. An extremely welcoming and friendly host who gave us a delicous freshly-made cake on arrival, free eggs and home-made marmalade. On a working farm, with lovely views of hills from all the rooms. The peace and tranquility of the area was a godsend from a noisy World. We spent a lovely week theRead morere and would definitely stay again. Hide

This cottage had everything I wanted and I was very satisfied with my stay. An added bonus for me was that it was on a working farm and I found it very interesting (I'm an industrial townie). I normally holiday with three generations of my family so I don't know when I will get the chance to return, but return I will.
