A beautiful cottage, surrounded by countryside, with just the sound of the river. Lovely to watch the lambs and swallows. The cottage had everything we needed for our trip, and is well located for all key walking attractions.We would love to return.
Georgina, the host was very helpful with all communications and instructions.Cottage was very well equipped, extremely clean/well decorated and appointed. It felt like home for the 2 weeks we stayed. We loved the views and the sheep!Would highly recommend for a holiday to get away from it all. Brecon only 15-20 min drive away.
The cottage is beautiful inside and out, with a modern kitchen and gorgeous cottage lounge diner downstairs and lovely homely but modern double bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. A rare treat, nessled in a lush valley, with the sound of the river nearby. It was delightful in late autumn, it must be even better in the spring or summer, I'll definitley be back
