The views, the wildlife, from squirrels to buzzards and kites and any number of small birds. Friendly tame sheep, horses to feed and all backed up by Keith, the owners, encyclopaedic knowledge of the local area. Comfortable and warm, well equipped with three good sized double bedrooms. Walking directly from the cottage, wether it be on the old railway or Brecon canal, up the mountain for the more energetic to the keeperâs pond, or after a short car journey up Sugar Loaf. Highly recommended. Keith and Dianne are excellent hostes, as is Glen a lovely friendly collie who loves his walks.

The downstairs bedroom and accessible bathroom were prefect for my elderly Dad. Gorgeous views from the large garden and we loved the friendly sheep! We will definitely return to Penrose Cottage to do some of the walks in the surrounding area .

It was warm, which was nice after long days out. It was clean. It felt incredibly homely. BONUS: There was sheep :) The view outside was stunning which made early mornings much more pleasant A few things to note was some of the stairs are uneven but once you've done them once you remember the ones to watch out for. Some locks were tougher to do but all rooms had a functioning lock. I really liked how the property was accessible inside (ground floor bedroom, wet room, rails on both side of the stairs) one personal thing was the mattresses wasn't the most comfortable, so I'd reccomend bringing an extra duvet that you can lay down for extra padding if you suffer with any chronic pain etc Hope to stay again in the future :)
