Lovely place to stay for a few days

The place was very clean, with nice little touches here and there. Communication was very clear all the way through and Angela was very helpful. I would definitely recommend/stay again.

A lovely, comfortable room - ideally situated for the Beacons and Merthyr.

Clean, warm and convenient for town and the Brecon Beacons (just off the Heads of Valley road and with bus stop outside). Loved the quirky decoration of the room - and the small touches which included home-made Welsh cakes. Close to shops and restaurants.

First choice every time

I have stayed on weekdays for several months. During in this time I have stayed in several of the studios. All had fantastic decor and facilities. The rooms are always immaculate and clean on arrival. Fantastic place to stay and great value. It is my first choice place to stay in this area.

Perfect Studio for a long weekend at Bike Park Wales

I stayed 3 nights as I was visiting BPW (10 mins away). I was sent plenty of information ahead of time - the directions were clear and accurate. I have absolutely no complaints. I am pleased that the area is seeing regeneration and is being developed.

Lovely room in a lovely location and dog friendly!

While looking for a place to stay near the Brecon Beacons I came across these lovely studio apartments. My partner and I wanted to bring our dog with us and James was more than happy to accommodate this (complete with some dog treats on arrival - the pup gave a paws up). There is a well lit carpark behind the studios, and a pub next door. There's a local shop for the essentials and some places to get food. Ideally located for the Waterfall walk, the reservoir and other walking trails.
