Had a lovely 4 night break, the cottage is great for large groups there were 2 family's in our group and it was extremely comfortable, I'd really recommend it for any large groups. Roads leading down to it are a bit narrowand quite bumpy in places use your second car if possible.

Great place to stay if you're after a trip away in the Brecons. Felt like it would be an ideal place for a group of hikers to use, the place was well kept and the hosts were very easy and friendly to deal with.

We had such an amazing time at this property. The owner was very friendly and we were able to buy firewood from them all weekend. There is a river very close by for a swim. Lovely house the photos don't do it justice. I can't recommend this place enough. Its in a very beautiful area too.

Just what we needed for our walking trip of 10 people. Basic but good facilities, in a lovely location and enjoyed the outdoor seating too. Somewhat steep and stoney track down, so brace yourselves for that. But really enjoyed how remote it was. Thank you.

We had the most AMAZING time during our stay. 12 of us celebrating some birthdays could not fault the house, the location, our host and even the weather.

A perfect no frills escape. Whilst the barn doesnt allow for fluffy cushions, matching cutlery or decorative artwork to make it look homely, what it does offer instead is the space for larger groups to be able to come and enjoy time together.
