This is our second time here. We find it very comfortable and there is lots to do in the area.

We spent a lovely few days exploring The Brecon Beacons, with The Four Waterfalls walk a particular highlight.The house was well-located for this and was pretty clean, however could do with a bit of a thinning out of the contents of the kitchen cupboards - there is too much, even for four people!Our canine companions enjoyed running round the garden, but it would have been good if the grass had been cut. It was really quite long!Thank you for the welcome biscuits - very thoughtful.

The house itself was rather good and it was quite remote which I liked, however the shops nearby left much to be desired - as the nearest large shop was about 15-20 minutes away by car. One thing that I disliked about this residence is that the heating in the cottage was not very good at all, there was no detail on control of the thermostat and we were stuck constantly very cold.
