Spacious, self-contained apartment nestled in the Brecon Beacons National Park

Upon arrival, enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, milk, a bottle of wine and a few items for a snack or your first breakfast. Essentials like bed linen, towels, toiletries, and kitchen necessities are all included. Parking is conveniently located at the foot of the outdoor staircase.

We greet guests on arrival and are available if needed, but otherwise, youâll enjoy complete privacy. We're always happy to assist with recommendations for walks, cycling routes, scenic drives, or local dining spots.
Very impressed with the flat, had everything you needed and more. There was total peace and quiet which was lovely. Will try and get back some time for sure,hopefully the weather will be a bit better next time.
Lovely base for our weekend. Lots of special caring touches from Shiela that were appreciated. Bathroom warm with excellent shower. Lots of room in spacious accommodation. Walked from the front door up into the Brecon beacons. Highly recommend.
Lovely self contained floor with all amenities working perfectly. Welcome hamper with additional apple juice and wine available. Good communication the whole time. Would definitely recommend.
Superbly presented property which was perfect for our short break. Sheila provided many personal touches from fresh flowers to homemade Welsh cakes which were delicious. We really felt like we were staying in someoneâs much loved home. Thereâs not much around so a car is essential and the steps up to the 2nd floor apartment could be challenging if your mobility is at all limited.
