A fabulous property with loads of space. A peaceful village very close to nature and a wonderful place to chill out. Well positioned for access to many local attractions but most need a car ride to access. The owners are very attentive and responsive to queries

Our family of six adults and two dogs loved our stay at Sunnybank. Things we particularly appreciated: two living rooms to allow quiet reading in one while Tv/gaming in another; the garden and views - just lovely; comfortable beds; wood used for a fine evening around the fire pit; comfortable garden chairs.

For us Sunnybank was perfectly located on a quiet road, with easy access and plenty of parking space. We had glorious April weather and after a day out walking it was nice to return to a very comfortable house. The garden was nice for the dogs and is very secure. Watching the lambs playing in the field at the back of the house and hearing the cuckoRead moreo every day were surprise bonuses. A well stocked Co op supermarket is a few minutes drive away in Talgarth. Highly recommended. Hide

This is a wonderful place to stay if you like to be secluded. We stayed over Christmas, so it was just right. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped, with a lovely cosy lounge and log burner. Sadly the local pub has closed down.

Lovely cottage, lovely location. Loved sitting in garden and watching the sheep being herded by the sheepdogs. The red kites circling over the mountains the owls calling at nighttime. The mist rising over the mountains in the mornings.
