Where do I start, the property is ideally situated in Brecon, you have the views of rolling hills and the River Usk. You are a 5 minute walk from butchers, bakerys and lovely independent shops. A must is a visit to the ice cream parlour and the cinema. The property has everything and the beds are super comfy, the kitchen is spacious and the living Read moreroom is relaxing, just an all round super holiday. Thank you. Hide

Lovely apartment in a good location, lots of good walks (or runs, as my family are runners) supermarkets near by and plenty of restaurants if you want a night out. Also complimentary cinema tickets were left, which was a nice touch.
