A perfect place to stay when wishing to explore the Brecons! Clean and comfortable in a quiet location. We had a fabulous time exploring the area - close by to so many beautiful walks, waterfalls, paddle boarding, Big Pit, Raglan Castle and the Brecon Mountain Railway. A super holiday and one we cannot recommend enough!
