A very peaceful location with outstanding views across the valley- a real joy. Good access to everything the Brecon Beacons and South Wales has to offer. Clean property with plenty of space, everything provided. Would be very keen to return.

A very well equipped house with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views and surroundings are beautiful. We saw so many birds just whilst eating breakfast! Off the beaten track but perfect for a real getaway. Lots of walks and interesting places to visit nearby.
