What a delightful find - if you want somewhere that is clean, cosy and off grid this is the place. Could not fault it - so much so that I had booked in to stay again next year before my stay this year was over.

Beautiful property in a stunning location even better than described in the listing. Only feedback is communication could have been smoother at times and some maintenance is needed.

Great little cottage. The perfect base to explore the Brecon Beacons and to return to after a day out in the cold autumn weather.

Perfect Hideaway

A beautiful cottage, surrounded by countryside, with just the sound of the river. Lovely to watch the lambs and swallows. The cottage had everything we needed for our trip, and is well located for all key walking attractions.We would love to return.

Fabulous get away cottage

Georgina, the host was very helpful with all communications and instructions.Cottage was very well equipped, extremely clean/well decorated and appointed. It felt like home for the 2 weeks we stayed. We loved the views and the sheep!Would highly recommend for a holiday to get away from it all. Brecon only 15-20 min drive away.

A little slice of heaven

The cottage is beautiful inside and out, with a modern kitchen and gorgeous cottage lounge diner downstairs and lovely homely but modern double bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. A rare treat, nessled in a lush valley, with the sound of the river nearby. It was delightful in late autumn, it must be even better in the spring or summer, I'll definitley be back

Location feels remote, but you are close to the Brecon Visitors Center, areas for walks. pubs/restaurants, and town. Babbling book just outside provides a wonderful ambiance inside and out. You can walk down to the brook. Kitchen has everything you need to cook meals. Beds are comfortable. Bathroom includes big tub and roomy shower. Loved the large bath towels. Really appreciated the availabilty of washer, dryer, and laundry detergent. Back patio has a table and chairs. Enjoyed sitting out each evening listening to the brook. Host provides a big book of information on the house and the surrouding area. Loved the pics of the renovations. I did have a few questions during my stay, and she was very responsive. I would love to stay here again.

Charming cottage off the beaten path with tons of privacy. Loved waking to share my early morning coffee with the sheep outside. Having access to a laundry room was a great perk!
