A beautiful farmhouse in an extraordinary location. Comfortable, generous accommodation with some excellent cafes and shops both locally and further afield. Very lovely garden, endearing cow and calf neighbours and eight star scenery.

The farmhouse has stupendous views over the Brecons, with perfect places to sit outside and enjoy them. The house is ideal for larger families or groups and is perfectly set up for guests. I can't think of a holiday home that has truly considered all the needs of people coming to stay there. Fresh flowers dotted the rooms, plentiful tea and coffee,Read more sufficient cleaning products and kitchen essentials, all make the house welcoming and practical. Hide

This is a super, spacious cottage with views that were quite breath taking. The cottage was extremely well equipped and comfortable and the owner has tried to think of everything that might be needed from laundry sundries to a hair drier and bath gel.

Very spacious and comfortable accommodation. It is a little bit old-fashioned, so could possibly do with a bit of modernisation.
