Myself and my fiancé enjoyed a beautiful weekend in the Granary. From arriving we were surrounded by the most beautiful views. We were so close to Brecon, which was great to have a little walk round the town as well some stunning trails for hiking. We were lucky enough to book this quite last minute, but each stage of the booking was handled so well and accommodated us perfectly. The communication and instructions were super clear and arrived with no isues. The little house was picture perfect and could not recommend more! We will definitely be back in the future!
