The room was tidy and ideal with the small kitchen area (due to dietary requirements, it is very helpful to have somewhere to prepare breakfast/lunch etc and this is what caught our eye when we were looking for a room for a couple of nights). Nice views of the mountains from the room.

This was such a great find when looking to stay near the brecon beacons, great location and close to everything you’d need during your stay. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated and everything necessary is provided. The check in process was also hassle free. Overall very worth a visit and very fairly priced.

We booked a studio for two nights which was on 1/F and clean. A bottle of milk and some cakes were offered, which tasted good. We could park in the driveway or on the street. We visited the Four Waterfalls and hiked to the Pen y Fan along the horse shoe route, both spots were within 30 minutes of drive. Tesco and restaurants were just within a few minutes.

We booked a night in The Rafters. Beautiful clean studio with living area on one side, bed on the other and small table to dine in the middle. Bathroom with shower. A kitchen to the side with all that is needed for a stay plus some milk in the fridge and welshcakes which was such a lovely little touch! We had a fabulous stay and if we’re ever in the area would be happy to stay again! ⭐️

We were here for a few days to explore this part of Wales. This house with self-catering rooms was ideal for our stay. A short walk away is a wonderful cafe with fresh baked goods and a nice espresso. The town centre is a short distance down the hill where there are a few pubs, shops and restaurants. There are some great hiking opportunities nearby as well.

Beautiful Room with a Brilliant View

The room was absolutely beautiful and was very impressive coming into the building. The views were great and the bed was extremely comfortable. There was a ladybird infestation which was a bit concerning but nonetheless, the room was brilliant and well worth the money.

Will stay again

It was a lovely stay, just one night before a day at bike park wales. I was told to leave the bike in the hall way and it was fine there. Parking was tight with a bike rack on so i dropped it to get the car over as far as i could. The room was beautifully decorated, bed comfy, shower amazing and the whole place was quiet.

Fantastic property and excellent communication with the owners. Stayed in the studio and the fact you have the whole of the 2nd floor to ourselves we didn’t mind so much that the kitchen and bathroom where a few steps across the hall. Left us a little gift of Welsh cakes which was a lovely touch. Had emails with recommendations on places to go, drink and eat which I think was a great touch. Would stay at this property again and would also look in to the other properties they have.
