The property was exactly as advertised and the inside was very colourful and inviting and offered three bedrooms and two full bathrooms so was perfect for the four of us sisters travelling together. We had excellent communication with Diane and her housekeeper throughout our stay. The hot tub was a big plus after a day of walking and the outdoor space was great. We would definitely recommend and if we were ever to be back in Wales, we would definitely be back. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

A lovely cottage feel, hosts were lovely and communication excellent. Lots of help with things to do on the area! Kitchen well facilitated with ample utensils, glasses and crockery. The hot tub was a luxury with a lovely outside space. Games provided and DVDs, but we were so busy we didnt need to use them! Smooth check in and check out. Great place to stay for families of younger and older children. Thank you

The hot tub was an excellent addition to the stay. After trekking Brecon every day we got in every evening. Rooms were good size and we had enough space for all - 5 adults and 2 kids. The hot water was a bit temperamental (seems to be only working when the heating is on) and there is no dishwasher.

If you'd text to let us know hubby would have came straight down and sorted the water issue.

We stayed at the house for 4 days in January as a group of 7 with 3 children. From the minute we booked Diane couldn't have been more helpful. Diane, her husband and Emma the housekeeper all welcomed us on arrival and showed us around the house. We had the most amazing stay, the house has everything one needs and more. It was spotless , the kitchen was well equipped and the beds very comfortable. The locals were very welcoming and friendly and everything we needed was close by. None of us wanted to leave. We hope to stay again in the future, do not hesitate to book.
