We found the accommodation spacious and comfortable. The number of bathrooms was above average and the bedrooms were large. Huge kitchen and dining area, with space for a quarter (or half) size pool table. The sitting room was very large with a TV to match the size of the room. The location is surprising given that it's at the end of the Rhonda Valley but with good walks into the surrounding hills. The Rhigos mountain road is spectacular and there are fantastic views of the Brecon Beacons at the top of the road. Lots of things to do, zip wire, showcaves, Brecon Moutain Railway, waterfalls (need rain to fill the rivers up)! Overall a very good holiday.
