A perfect couple of days in a wonderful location, in a cosy, fully equipped cottage. We can't say enough about the cottage, it's spectacular garden and the biggest hot tub/ pool I've seen.
Clare, and her lovely,dog are wonderful hosts, thank you for our visit, and delicious cake!

had the pleasure of staying at a charming home nestled near to Brecon Beacons, Wales, and I must say it was a truly delightful experience. The location itself was nothing short of stunning, with breathtaking scenery and numerous sights to explore in the surrounding area. However, what truly made this stay exceptional was the gracious host.
From the moment I arrived, the host went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and enjoyment. A warm and inviting welcome awaited me, complete with a delicious homemade cake and a bottle of champagne – the perfect way to start my stay. This thoughtful gesture immediately set the tone for the entire visit.
Throughout my time there, the host was incredibly accommodating, always ready with helpful tips on local attractions and activities.
The home itself was a cozy and comfortable haven, providing everything I needed for a relaxing retreat. It was impeccably clean and thoughtfully appointed, with all the amenities one could desire. Whether I was enjoying a quiet evening by the fireplace or savouring a cup of tea while gazing out at the stunning views, I felt truly at home.
In summary, my stay in Brecon Beacons was a memorable one, thanks in large part to the exceptional hospitality of the host. I would wholeheartedly recommend this charming home to anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating escape

Lovely comfortable and central location to base yourself for some beautiful walks, and a spa pool to unwind for the evening. All the basics you need are provided. Lovely welcome package including a home made cake.

We absolutely loved our stay here!! We arrived to tea, coffee, milk, cake and prosecco and it just kept getting better. The kitchen was fully stocked beyond expectations and the house was lovely all around. The log burner was ready to go along with the outside firepit if we wanted it. The hot tub pool was amazing, could fit 6-8 people easily. The gym was great with a steam room and shower room with towels. The location was quiet and rural but 8 mins from Brecon town. We cannot wait to go back.

What a welcome from Clare! A delicious home made cake and everything you could possibly need is there, unlike some properties where you have to take the kitchen sink. The spa pool, wow! The photo’s do not do it justice, it’s huge and such a lovely treat after a day walking. We stayed the end of May but it was cold in the evenings (good old British weather)so we made full use of the log burner on an evening after a dip in the spa pool. The steam room and gym are also fantastic. The location is wonderful too. Only thing we couldn’t control was the weather but even that couldn’t spoil what was a fabulous few days away because this place really is ‘home from home’, cosy and just brilliant. Thank you Clare, you made us feel so welcome.

Wonderful location for bikers
We arrived early and be greeted by Clare who welcomed us and have us a full run down on the property.... wow was our first impression!
The house had everything you need for a comfortable break and the pool and gym were amazing, just wish we’d have had a bit longer to make use of it.... maybe next time!
We explored the area which is beautiful and also visited Bike Park Wales which is only about 30 minutes drive away .... well worth a visit if you like MTB (you will need to book). The pool was such a welcoming site after a hard days riding .... we spent hours in it !
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and also the delicious lemon drizzle cake yummm!
Well certainly be back !!

Wonderful getaway
Clare was excellent before and during our stay. Despite living right next door she and her husband gave us total privacy. The cottage was lovely, with more space than we expected. The full gym and enormous hot-tub were absolutely fantastic.

Our stay in August 2019
The property was exactly as described. Clare was very helpful and responsive but also respected our privacy - a perfect host! The welcome treats were both a nice touch and useful. The house is a great base for exploring the Brecons and we did some fantastic walks. Thank you Clare, we look forward to returning at some point.

Great place to explore the delights of the Brecon Beacons
Just off a main road, close to Brecon, with Pen y Fan nearby, this is an ideal location from which to explore the Beacons. The house is comfortable with good kitchen, three bedrooms, lounge and separate dining room and downstairs loo. The hot tub, gym and space to eat alfresco are the special qualities for this property. The views of the hills are breathtaking, particularly from two of the bedrooms. Clare, the owner, was friendly and helpful, and swift to respond to enquiries. We had a very enjoyable holiday, finding it a good base and a relaxing place to which to return at the end of the day.

Great location and accommodation
Fantastic property and friendly owners. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Ideally situated for some lovely walks. Views were lovely. Jacuzzi pool was a real bonus - kids loved it.
The waterfalls walk was beautiful and well worth a visit. Loved the homemade cake - thanks Clare & family. Will definitely return in the future. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

A lovely home from home for a short family getaway
We had a lovely 2-night early Spring break at this property. We wanted for nothing - the welcome pack of groceries (and cake!) was comprehensive, there were towels galore - even in the gym for use in the steam room - there was plenty of fuel for my wife to enjoy making a fire, and the accommodation was lovely. My daughter particularly enjoyed the hot tub, even though the air temperature didn't get above 8 degrees!
We're already working out when we might return! Thank you to Clare and family for making us so welcome.

Amazing!!!
Amazing 2 night stay in this beautiful cottage. Would definitely recommend for couples or a family.
Will be returning in the future.

Amazing location and a great cottage
When we arrived we were quite overwhelmed with the size of the pool/hot tub, and gym and steam room, far more than we expected. We were lucky on one night to have a clear sky and enjoy the stars from the hot tub with a G&T.
The cottage is homely, clean, and has all things you require to enjoy your stay. BBQ is excellent.
Clare and Andy were very accommodating, and couldn’t help enough when required, but never intruded. Great folks and the plaque in the utility “enter as strangers, leave as friends” says it all.
Couldn’t recommend this place enough, great family experience, will definitely visit again in the future.

Good location for exploring the Brecon Beacons
The cottage is in a good location for exploring the Brecon Beacons.Really enjoyed relaxing in front of the woodburner. Disappointed to find the second bathroom in the property was very small and didn't have a wash hand basin, also the main bathroom was a bit chilly as the window was drafty. and the basin plug didn't work.
Clare made an lovely cake to welcome us and has made the cottage very homely.

A great place for a little time out!
Excellent place to stay, star watching from the hub tub helped us relax for a little girly getaway. Only 15minutes from Brecon.
Not light pollution meant that the stars on a clear night didn’t disappoint.
Thank you to Claire for her warm welcome and great hospitality.
We will see you again.

Fantastic stay!
We knew when we were greeted with a lovely homemade lemon drizzle cake that it would be a great stay - and we weren't disappointed! The cottage is situated in a great location being a stones throw from the a470 and close to a town for all the must have holiday amenities (like wine!). Our 5 year old found the hot tub the best thing of the whole holiday so much so that he wants one at home! We also managed to make use of the gym on a few occasions which was an added bonus.Overall we found the cottage really well presented and comfortable and Clare was on hand for any queries and was really super helpful 10/10!!

Great Place to Stay
We booked this property as it was close to Bike Park Wales and the Brecons for us to go Mountain Biking, however when we arrived the property had so much going for it we only went biking for a short a period, we spent most of the time enjoying the BBQ, hot tub, steam room and gym, this is fantastic play to stay and the owners are great and not at all intrusive but there if you need anything. The home baked lemon drizzle cake was spot on with our tea when we arrived.
Lovely surroundings for walking, cycling and getting out and about.
Thanks Clare we had a great time and the hot tub is fantastic as is everything else.
Very best regards
Glyn, Lynn, Mark and Jackie.

Wonderful!
Fabulous cottage with everything you could possibly need or want. The gym was very well equipped. The sauna and the pool were a great way to relax aching muscles after a full day hill walking. Kitchen very well stocked with everything you'd need to cook your evening meal before relaxing in front of the beautiful log burner. Hosts were very friendly without being intrusive. A great place to stay and we look forward to going back. Many thanks for a fabulous holiday.

Perfect for our short stay
The property is as described and was the perfect place to stay whilst we visited family in the area. It is spacious and well equipped for example the kitchen had all the pots, pans and utensils you would have at home.
What really made the stay were all the personal touches that were unexpected, such as the Christmas Decorations around the cottage (we stayed in December), logs and kindling for the fire and the home made cake left for us. The owner checked we were happy and settled and if we needed anything without being intrusive.
Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location, I would recommend it and we hope to book again in the future!

Beautiful surrondings, brilliant location
Outstanding cottage. Lovely facilities, helpful and friendly owners. Ideal location for relaxing or active break only 5mins away from Pen Y fan. We had an amazing time enjoyed using the spa pool & the log fire on a night time. we would love to return for another family break.

A lovely property in beautiful surroundings.
We had a wonderful short break in the cottage. The cottage itself was very homely. It didn't feel like a holiday let at all. It was very clean and had everything you need. (Including a delightful welcome cake!). The surrounding area is wonderful with so much to see and do within a short distance. The gym is very well equipped and steam room is nice too. But the real icing on the cake was the hot tub. Though the phrase hot tub doesn't do it justice. It is simply stunning. Very large and was 35 degrees when we used it and is a large part of the reason we intend to come back to the cottage next year. I thoroughly recommend the whole package that this cottage offers.
