Weekend break

A lovely house and good location for easy access to the Brecon Beacons. The owners are very communicative and check in was straightforward. The house is clean and comfortable and has obviously been recently refurbished. The EV charger at the back of the property was an added bonus.

Just what we needed to explore the breacons

Good location within walking distance of town. It proved a good base to get to canyoning and to climb Pen Y Fan (both 20 mins away). Clean and had everything we needed. Would recommend a shelf or two by the bathroom sink and a hook by the shower.
