Not a boring, 'vanilla' holiday home
Lots of charachter and very quirky. Lots of clutter and curiosities around the house, so not for everyone.
Perfect location to explore Brecons and local area. Two friendly pubs in the village. Cottage has lots of Victorian penny slot games, a pinball machine and a space invaders! Host was away, but was still contactable and very helpful.
