This cottage is in a beautiful part of the countryside, so peaceful, and Brecon just a short distance away. Lots of great local walks. The cottage was perfect for our short break for the two of us and our dog.

Amazing owners of Old Pigsty and amazing Old Pigsty itself! Cant fault this place in any way. Such a beautiful place, the facilities are great, everything is so nice and new and you can just tell a lot of thought and effort has gone into making this place a peaceful tranquility. The location is perfect to be right in the heart of the Brecon BeaconsRead more and the owners even went the extra mile to buy a cake for my partners birthday when I asked them to a few days before our stay! Couldnt recommend this place more! Hide

I stayed at The Old Pigsty for 8 nights whilst working in Brecon. It was a little sanctuary of bliss. So much thought has been put into a visitor's needs, everything about it is designed for comfort and relaxation, with the most amazing views of rolling hills and sheep from every window. The location is fabulous both for the feeling of being compleRead moretely away from everything and for access to Brecon town. There is a really lovely track to walk into town. I was as happy as a pig in muck! Hide

We were the first guests to stay here and it was immaculate, peaceful and very comfy. Lovely views and had everything we needed for a restful stay. Loved sitting in the garden, watching the birds feeding and sheep wandering from field to field.
