Scenic Welsh Cottage in the Brecon Beacons

Location

Poor phone signal

Cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. There were 6 of us and we found it to be spacious enough. It was also very well situated for everything we planned to do.

Very quiet countryside location with lovely views (once the rain stopped) across the valley. The check in process was seamless and the information booklet was very helpful. The milk and chocolates were a very welcomed gift on arrival and the house was lovely and warm when we arrived. The cottage is a very old building but well restored and maintained. The bedrooms were conducing to a long sleep in with good blackout curtains and comfortable beds. The heating was easy to control and functional. The cottage has a wood heater with some wood supplied but we didn't use it as we didn't know how to dispose of the ashes or find additional fire wood (probably needs more info on this). The local pub is walking distance but only open Thursday to Sunday otherwise more pubs about 15 minutes drive away.You will need to stop in at Abergavenny supermarket for supplies as there are no supermarkets closer. Parking is a bit tight as there is a tractor access path beside the parking. The hosts responded quickly when we discovered that the iron was missing. TV and streaming are excellent.

The cottage could use some better cleaning to remove cob webs etc but not a major issue in the countryside. There is no working outside light so going out at night requires a good torch. The gate latch is hard to find in the dark. Better instructions are required about the recycling bins and process. A box of tissues would be helpful. The back path to the bins needs maintenance and cleaning. Access to and around the parking is very muddy. Both vacuum cleaners were full and didn't work. WiFi is strong and fast but range doesn't extend to the upper bedrooms. The shower in the main bathroom is too low and small for anyone over 5 feet tall.

The cottage was beautiful with fantastic furnishing throughout - very comfortable with everything you would need to have a great stay. We were given some great local food recommendations and will absolutely return to here the next time we come to Wales

It was clean in a great location. The cottage is welcoming and warm.

The location was absolutely beautiful. Very comfy and cosy cottage. Dog friendly and secure garden.

Wifi was slow and intermittent, as this was partially a work trip affected ability to communicate with colleagues effectively.
