Nice renovated property but cleaning needs improvement
We found hair on bathroom floor, shower, couch and towels. Some of bedsheets had stains. All plates, glasses and utensils needed to be washed before use. The property is spacious and well furnished. Nice location near the Brecon Beacon park, but not many restaurants nearby.
