Loved the remoteness and quaint cottage - really relaxing. Great to switch off from the hustle/bustle of real life! Dogs had a fab time, too - lovely the garden was enclosed/safe. We knew that there was no WiFi/Internet -no problem- but we didn't realise no tv signal whatsoever (not that it was a problem, but we would have liked to have known). TheRead more DVD player was fine and we located some films from a charity shop, but would have brought some with us. We left some there - enjoy! Hide

This cottage is a beautiful home in the heart of the stunning hills. The solid stone of the walls with deep shuttered windows created a sense of grounding within its landscape. It offered us space to relax and was a great place to explore the Welsh mountains from.

Wonderful location, close to various areas of interest in and around the black mountains and Brecon Beacons. Is very well equipped with everything you could want and need, accessible to the local town - owners very accommodating and friendly. Having no signal is refreshing, nothing but peace and quiet. I would not hesitate to book again, thank you.

Spend a bank holiday weekend here. The house was lovely and perfect for the two of us and our small dog. It would probably be a little small for more than 2 adults. The hosts were very friendly and provided helpful local tips. Only slight downside is that the house is very remote - no shops, phone service, Internet. Closest pub is 15min walk down aRead more very narrow single lane road for cars. Definitely recommend for some anyone looking to relax and doesn't mind driving. Hide
