Absolutely perfect. Fantastic location (if you drive) Very quiet and beautiful. The lodge its self is gorgeous. The owner really has made it stunning. We visited in the summer but looking forward to going back to see it in winter. Everything is top notch. You won't be disappointed

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage, the views up the valley towards Brecon are lovely. The cottage is very well equipped. Accessible for low mobility but not wheelchair friendly. Our only gripe is the property advert says hot tub, its not its a lazy spa. Two very different products and they need better maintenance. You pay a premium for a hot tRead moreub and to only get a lazy spa was disappointing. The host is lovely and nothing is too much trouble. We will be back. Thank you. Hide
