Excellent all round apart from weather over which we had no control. Would definitely consider this cottage if we are going to the area in the future. Owners are really lovely and friendly, could ask for nothing more.

The barn is lovely and clean. Brilliant location and very peaceful. There is ample room for six, lots of parking spaces. Most facilities are a short drive away.

A well-equipped, comfortable and spacious property in a great location. Highly recommended for small and large parties with the adjoining property, and we'd happily stay again when in the area.

We had a great week exploring the area, plenty of lovely walks and bike rides to do. As well as activities on the River Wye. The cottage was very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. Kids loved the garden, plenty of space for them to run around and play games in. Thank you very much.

Absolutely loved our stay at Yew Tree, only there for 3 nights, but it was enough to get that feeling of a break away. The views are gorgeous from the cottage, and the surroundings are peaceful and refreshing. That area of the Brecon Beacons is ideal to base yourself from for some lovely local attractions, somthing for everyone. The cottage itself Read morewas ideal for the family and very comfortable, clean and welcoming. Would happily recommend to other visitors. Hide
