  We loved our stay at Black Cat Bach- we would highly recommend to families and couples alike.

  The setting was stunning and the views and light in the bungalow were refreshing for the soul! The underfloor heating meant the temperature was just right and we enjoyed the way the host had thought of all the needs and made sure the kitchen was fully stocked- we did quite a bit of cooking rather than eating out too much and we found we had all we needed which can't be said for other places we have stayed (you do need to remember your own cooking oil and spices, etc but there was salt & pepper and tea/coffee- plus a wonderful basket of welcome goodies including fresh produce from the garden!). Rachel was a welcoming host and easy to get in touch with. Loads to do in the area and lots of beautiful walks on the doorstep- you could spend days at a time without using the car if you wanted to. Your thigh muscles will get a good work-out with all the hills and steep roads but it's worth it for the views! We had an owl in the evenings and saw bats several nights too which the boys loved. Would love to return some time as still loads more places we didn't get round to exploring!

  The lodge was a great base to our days out and had everything we needed.

  Having the washer & drier was amazing as meant we didn’t have to come home to laundry which was bliss. The kitchen was well kitted out. The property was lovely and warm for our stay. Milk on arrival was a wonderful touch and much needed as we arrived in the darkness of the evening. The roads to access the property are steep and narrow being up a hill. The views are just incredible from the patio, so it was nice to sit outside with a coffee and just enjoy the surroundings. We had hoped to do more walking from the lodge but the roads were much too steep for all of us to venture out. (2 adults & 2 children) A clothes airer, full length mirror & hairdryer would be my only suggested helpful additions. We recommend the accommodation as being super comfortable, clean, with good facilities. With the owners on hand for anything we needed. Rachel was kind in telling us about places to go & making us feel welcome. We enjoyed our stay. Thankyou for having us.

  Arriving at the cottage, immediately we mentioned how picturesque the cottage looked from its garden and the way it's presented.

  Location-wise, it is far enough from a main road to be very quiet during the day and in the evenings (apart from owls and buzzards which were great to listen to and spot) but the supermarkets take no time to get to in the car. We walked a lot... obviously, and always looked forward to coming back to sit on the cottage's terrace with a drink. Nigel and Rachel who own the cottage are a really nice couple, though we didn't see them during the holiday, they welcomed us at the start, giving some local knowledge on places to go and I was glad to see them at the end when we left to say goodbye. Bed was great, Sauna was brilliant, kitchen was lovely and well equipped, the garden was well planted, the wildlife was abundant, the walks were tough but rewarding... Overall it was a fantastic holiday and I have already been recommending it at work and sending links to the cottage.

  Absolutely fabulous cottage with amazing views including Sugar Loaf Mountain.

  Rachel is really helpful with all sorts from getting lost en route to helping us with mobility scooter access to patio. Although the cottage is not advertised as having disabled access I managed once I was on patio level. Very spacious inside it you can only walk aided with crutches like myself. Lots to do and see around and we definitely recommend the “Big Pit Experience” they transfered me from my mobility scooter to their wheelchair and down I went ! Exceptionally Good never been down anywhere like this and they perfected it !! The little bridge up to the cottage is a lot higher than stated I got under it in a Skoda Superb with a HandiHoldall Roof Bag which had all four of our luggage in (we don’t travel light been disabled).

  Idyllic, tranquil base to explore this beautiful region.

  The well-equipped cottage is delightfully bright and airy, and the private terrace has lovely plants and trees all around with distant views to the hills. Lots of local walks from ridge views to forests, waterfalls and the canal towpath. Intriguing mixture of landscapes incorporating hidden industrial heritage. Easy access to the A465 Heads of the Valleys road to explore farther afield, although we found plenty to enjoy in the local area. The lovely town of Crickhowell is only 4 miles away with plenty of small shops and restaurants.
