We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wells cottage, our daughter and dog really enjoyed the garden. Stunning views from the garden and around the property. The cottage was well equipped and clean. We did lots of walks and a good place for food was The Bear Hotel in the nearby town of Crickhowell. Definitely would recommend this cottage to others.

A super cottage, well equipped and clean. Great position if you like walking (we do), path straight up hill - its steep but we loved it. 2 adult kids and 1 border collie, plenty of space, good wifi, kitchen had everything we needed, reached by a narrow road, really set back in peace. Thanks very much - great 5 night break.

Comfortable , well equipped cottage in a very quiet location with lovely views of the surrounding mountains .The owners Lisa and Ian were just a phone call away if you needed anything .We had a lovely walk with the dogs up the hill behind the cottage (pretty steep) and had the added bonus of seeing Ian with his dog herding the sheep! The nearby towRead morens of Brecon and Crickhowell are both worth a visit and the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal is a very relaxing walk. A very pleasant holiday. Hide

A lovely cottage, in a lovely location. Beautiful walks on the doorstep with lovely views. Comfortable cosy living room and nice fully equipped kitchen. Thank you to owners who very quickly repaired garden fencing to ensure our dog was safe and secure and also left us a really nice welcome pack. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

Such nice owners of the property. They came to a nearby pub to guide us when we could ot find the cottage. We were so happy they took our booking at the last minute when we had been let down by our original booking. Cottage is rustic and perfect for a holiday in the country. Many thanks Ian and Lisa

Beautiful location, very off the beaten track, but stunning scenery, Cottage was comfortable and well equipped. No mobile signal which was of no concern but I expected if anyone with medical conditions was staying it could be of use to know this. Bathroom could do with an update and some attention.
