We have just spent a fabulous week at Cae Glas, the property was exceptionally clean, very well equipped and very comfortable. We were fortunate to have wonderful weather so spent most of our time lounging about and sitting out in the garden admiring the wonderful views. With four young adults with us the two separate lounges were ideal, along withRead more the two smart TVs, and a big bonus with the really good WiFi signal. Indian, Chinese and Chippy all 10 minutes drive away in Crickhowell, all very good. Local pub was a lovely 10 minutes walk, good food and atmosphere, shame it's not open everyday so we had to choose which days to go, you do need to book up if you want to eat in there. Six very happy customers, will definitely be back. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very clean and well equipped throughout. However, please note that there's only one oven in the kitchen, which might make cooking a large meal a challenge.

A 5 star cottage. Superb kitchen. Lovely having two lounges as it enabled the children (and some adults) to play games etc and the other as a quiet area. Bedrooms all large and all had enough cupboards and wardrobe spaces. Would we go back - a definite yes.

Three generations of our family had a wonderful week at Cae Glas - an immaculate, spacious house in a glorious, quiet setting. The photos on the website are an accurate reflection of the garden and accommodation - furnishings, beds, bathrooms and kitchen equipment were all of a very high standard. We walked onto the hills from the house a couple ofRead more times and found many other stunning walks within a 10 minute drive. Ideal for stargazing.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cae Glas. It was everything we expected and more. We have stayed in many rental homes across the world and the equipment was one of the best we ever had. The house is very well maintained and the outside area including the seating on the terrace is in absolutely great shape too. Also the central yet peaceful and quiet Read morelocation is perfect for exploring the Brecon Beacons. The many books, maps and flyers in the house were super helpful. We would definitely return.

Amazing from the house and beautiful decor. Very clean. Spacious and well equipped, we went for a lovely walk on the hills without having to get in the car. The views during the walk were incredible and we saw wild Welsh ponies a really special treat.
