This was a beautiful cottage, decorated and furnished to a very high standard and attention to detail was excellent. There was plenty of storage, hooks and plug sockets just where you needed them. The log burner was a lovely addition and made the cottage very cosy when it was lit. The proximity to the town centre was perfect and we could easily walRead morek to all the amenities. Parking was not a problem, we found a space every day. A great location for exploring the beautiful Brecon Beacons. Hide

This is an absolutely perfect place to stay. Clean and tidy with everything you need and nothing you dont! Just the right amount if everything. Beautifully decorated. Really comfy bed and plenty of hot water. The garden got a bit hot in the late afternoon which is not often a complaint one would hear in Wales in May! Loved it!
