Guests say
Guests have consistently praised Gwynfan Bungalow for its peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, clean and spacious accommodation, and attentive host, Ruth. The property boasts stunning views, a well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. The hot tub and games room are frequently highlighted as fantastic additions, enhancing the overall experience.
The bungalow is repeatedly described as clean and well-maintained, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating a high standard upheld by the host.
The location is highly praised for its panoramic views and peaceful rural setting, with guests appreciating the tranquility and natural beauty of the surroundings.
Comfort is frequently mentioned, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the living spaces cosy. However, there is a single mention of recliner settees needing replacement, slightly impacting the score.
Facilities like the hot tub, games room, and fully equipped kitchen are well-received. The hot tub is noted for being clean and checked daily. A minor note on the recliner settees suggests a small deduction for maintenance.
Guests mention receiving Welsh cakes and wine upon arrival, showcasing the host's thoughtfulness. While these gestures are appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts are a bonus and not guaranteed with every stay.

The town owes its origins to the spring waters that were recognised to have healing properties; it was the Romans who first took advantage of this, but it was the Victorians who made their mark here. This heritage is paid tribute to by an annual festival when the town is transformed into a Dickensian wonderland for one week every August. Being a largely rural area, with outstanding natural beauty, this region is known for its walking and fishing opportunities.
You have easy access to the magnificent Elan Valley and dams, and the spectacular Brecon Beacons National Park.

Lovely cottage with great facilities both indoors and outdoors. Amazing spacious hot tub with great views, though still feels very private. Everything you need inside including cleaning suppliers, coffee, tea etc. Beds were lovely and comfortable, with pkenty of storage. Recliner settees need to be replaced but this would not stop a return visit.
