Lovely setting within the Brecons close to lots of places to visit. Owners friendly and very informative about the organic farm and the various initiatives they are involved in - very interesting. 2-3 pubs serving good food within 15 mins of farm, some food shopping available in next village but main supermarkets are 20-25 mins drive. Pony trekkingRead more 10 mins away, Welsh rarebit centre 5 mins away, Dan yr good caves 8 mins away. Stunning scenery! Lovely holiday! Hide

The Cottage was essentially home from home in terms of an attractive, comfortable living/dining space and a well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms had lots of storage, the beds were comfortable. The whole stay at Llysfaen was peaceful, relaxing, enjoyable in a beautiful location which has to be experienced to be appreciated. If you get a chance to Read morego on the Tractor Run dont miss it!
