Een heerlijk en ruim huis, voorzien van alle gemakken op een rustige gelegen plek Prima huis, omheind, hoeft niet bang te zijn dat de honden op straat lopen, rustig gelegen, 10 km afstand van Brecon De woning ligt aan een single track road met zoals altijd hoge hagen (heggen) daardoor geen overzicht als je met de honden gaat wandelen Dat vond ik wel een gemis, ook niet in de directe omgeving. Een plek waar je even makkelijk de kleine wandelingetjes kan doen met de honden.
