Absolutely loved our stay at Caer Hendre. A quaint little cottage surrounded by hills & fields (of baby lambs when we visited). Gorgeous sunrises over hills from the bedroom window! Its a mile and a half drive down a farm lane (tarmac) to the nearest pub-Coach & Horses, or a little further on is the Willow Tree Cafe which does the most amazing foodRead more! Perfect base to explore the Brecons & only a little over an hours drive to Bridgend/sea if you want a change. Will definitely be returning! Hide
