  Very spacious and well equipped cottage.

  We had a really lovely stay and were so grateful for the weather, a chance to explore the beautiful surroundings and countryside and come back to comfort and peace. Wendy and crew and their lovely dogs were quietly around if we needed them . My comments are minor We recommend A. fitting retractable blackout blinds to the bedroom roof velux windows B. Providing garden recliners eg https://www.therange.co.uk/outdoor-living/garden-furniture/garden-chairs/set-of-2-heavy-duty-textoline-zero-gravity-chairs/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwuO6WBhDLARIsAIdeyDLXhg81DD_EIxMzvQaUS8Dgf0GTehG0yqH-PnyKI_18Yyn_-o7hW-waAvjyEALw_wcB#5258528 C. Sharpen the kitchen knives! D. Sand down and resrain/paint the garden furniture Here is a little suggestion - the local area is so beautiful. Ask guests to send you photos of any beautiful scenes and then turn these in to large framed picture photos to hang throughout the cottage rather than the odd and very mixed assortment of pictures you currently have. One final comment - the floor vinyl in the kitchen and utility is significantly ripped in several places, and is loose.

  Absolutely fabulous stay from start to finish. The property is so beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice on just how big and amazing it really is. Alex is very helpful and attentive from the welcome Prosecco, to little notes left around the property and the texts and calls back and forth between us due to storm darragh causing a power cut, alex even sorted getting us wood from her neighbour and updates on the power returning. It did not dampen our weekend away a large group of adults, mainly couples who go away once a year without the kids. Beds are super comfortable, blankets available and we all love a blanket, kitchen had everything we needed and large enough fridge and freezers for all our food and alcohol. Hot tub was great and very clean, games room was our favourite room, the girls could watch a film in the sitting area while the lads played pool/darts etc and we was still all together. Do not have one bad thing to say about our stay and would highly recommend! We normally stay in a new property every time we go away but if we was to return anywhere it would be here!

  This is the 2nd time we have stayed and we have booked again next year.

  Always welcoming, plenty of space exactly as pictures show. Loads of room for parking outside the property leading up from a narrow gravel track from the A40 (no sign for it so use the Powys border one as a marker) The Barn was cosy and lovely and warm, the heating being on most of the time. The new mattresses were a medium to soft which suited us. The only thing they could do with is a clock in the livingroom and curtains in the twin bedroom as the sensor light from the owners property lights up the bedroom during the night from the wildlife passing by. There is a small strip of grass at the back approached by steps, our dog found them quite steep being elderly so I took her out the front most of the time. Views of sheep and horses from the patio doors in the livingroom give a lovely site on a wet day and the mountains through the trees at the front. We are looking forward to going again next year. Abergavenny about 4miles has everything plus free parking on Byfield Lane carpark except, Tuesday Market day.

  This barn desperately needs new beds sad to say.

  Numerous people have mentioned it over the last few years but still no change. The double is very soft with no support and the singles you can feel the springs on them and are extremely soft with a collapsing feel . I had backache all week normally no trouble with it. The owners are welcoming, but no welcome pack as in other places we've been, just a small amount of tea coffee and sugar. There's plenty of room to park, but the entrance needs a sign on the track. I know the area well, but we still shot past it, as its opposite the powys sign from Aber, or the yellow 40 sign from Crick. It is the same as the pictures open plan loads of room. They have 4 welcoming dogs and several cats. The back strip of grass on the secured patio is steep to get to and was not big enough for my 2 cavs to have a gallop. I know there was no dish washer, but there was no washing up liquid provided, a good job I took some with me, yet washing powder was provided for the washing machine.

  We were lucky to arrive on a perfect winter afternoon. The barn's backdrop is a hillside that was catching the afternoon sun, and the valley was filled with clouds, making a cloud inversion arrival the perfect start to our week! The route to the barn may look intimidating but we managed it no problem throughout a week that included some cold wet mornings in my wifes 2 wheel drive mini. The location is stunning with numerous walks from the door and the full expanse of the Brecon Beacons within easy reach. Copious amounts of wood for the woodburner, but in reality the barn is so well insulated that we used it more for effect than needing it for warmth, despite the temp dropping to -5 ' during our stay. Cozy bedlinen got my wifes approval and everything worked as it should. 10 out of 10 for everything from us . We will be back !
