What our customers say about their holidays

  We are a couple in our sixties, my daughter and my 8 year old grandson was with us.

  Can honestly say we all, including my grandson, was taken aback at how beautiful this place was, right on the river with lots of wild land to roam in, beautifully kept gardens and never seen so many little birds such a joy to watch. Lots of kites the feather kind ! so sitting with morning cups of tea watching the wildlife and the brilliance of the place set us up for the day. We all loved it and just didn’t want to come home! It was perfect for our dog, all the areas are fenced and thought is taken with keeping our pets safe. The house was clean, well equipped and very comfy ! We went to the Dams over the mountain road, hold onto your seats but well worth it, Devils bridge also a must, the local town perfect, and the kite feeding. Whilst the Wi-Fi worked there were some moments it wasn’t too good, but this was everywhere in these mountains, We did have to drive into town to the car park, and park at the top of the car park as I had a very important phone call coming in, but even that wasn’t a big deal as we walked around the local shops and enjoyed our morning… All in all perfect break in the gardeners cottage and we hope to go back, definitely recommend. Thank you Johnathan and Chee.

  Talkhouse Cottage is beautifully equipped with everything we needed.

  It was very comfortable with lots of space to move around and oodles of storage options. The kitchen was well laid out with cupboard space to put our food supplies in. The bathroom is spacious and well lit with the most luxurious towels ever. The bedroom was light and airy with 2 wardrobes and a set of drawers for our clothes. We slept very well in the comfortable bed although it was a little too warm for us. The proximity of the road and railway never disturbed us, apart from the one car with a noisy exhaust, even though we are light sleepers. Tim and Jackie are excellent hosts and were very quick to attend to our one issue, a wobbly chair. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise, hubby loves Welsh cakes. Did not make use of the coffee pods as I am dairy intolerant, but the thought was there. Basic supplies like the tea, coffee etc and milk in the fridge all go to show how attentive these hosts are to details. We love the area with its hills, lanes and driving trails, as hubby is limited mobility we rarely walk anywhere but the amazing scenery nearby was amazing.

  Absolutely amazing. I am tempted to give Camlad Barn a poor review, only in the hope others don’t book and it is more available for my wife and I to return but that would be unfair and selfish. The setting of the property is outstanding with amazing views. It was immaculately clean and is equipped with everything that you would need. A large outdoor area to relax in with a lovely enclosed garden, pretty sitting area, separate allocated parking and hot tub which again, was immaculate and cleaned daily. The inside of the property is both spacious and very stylishly decorated and furnished. All the staff we came in contact with were incredibly friendly and gave excellent advise of local places to visit of which are many. If you want a fast paced, stressed, busy holiday with lots of people, vehicles and buildings this is not for you. If you want the absolute opposite, it is perfect. I can not recommend Camlad Barn enough and we cannot wait to go back. Oh, our 14 year old collie absolutely loved it as well.

  Kooky cottage was such a great find!

  We stayed for 4 nights beginning of this month (August) and didn't want to leave. The cottage was very cosy and comfortable with a whole lot of character. Owner has thought about, and supplied everything you could need for your stay. We found the cottage very clean and all linens, towels etc clean and fresh. Lovely decor also! Added bonus of a sofa bed which was handy too. Table and seating available to sit outside also, we didn't use them but was good to know we had the option. The stairs are steep, of varying sizes, and ceiling above them is low but with time and care they're fine to navigate!...this just adds to the character and charm though, it is a 1850s property! Great location very quiet street, easy to walk into the centre of Brecon. Street parking available in front of property, not a lot of room but we had no issues thankfully. We really enjoyed our time here and would love to visit again. Will recommend to friends and family!

  Although the weather was in our favour the cottage was well equipped if it hadn't been.

  There was heating and a fire if it got chilly, a television should you need it and although we took games and books we didn't need either. All cottages have access to the river should you wish to fish or just walk. We stayed at gardners cottage which had access to a front garden whereas riverside cottage had access to the back garden - both very pretty with seating outside. There are two other cottage like chalets with the same amenities, called salmon and trout. I could have stayed in any, they all looked well presented, My only suggestion would be for lighter duvets in the summer months as the sloping roof meant it got fairly warm in the bedrooms at night. We found the whole holiday totally relaxing and the owners Jonathan and Chee and their dog Freddie very welcoming. We would most definitely return but next time I will be more aware that the welsh midges wear boots as big as the Scottish ones.
