Not a boring, 'vanilla' holiday home

Lots of charachter and very quirky. Lots of clutter and curiosities around the house, so not for everyone. Perfect location to explore Brecons and local area. Two friendly pubs in the village. Cottage has lots of Victorian penny slot games, a pinball machine and a space invaders! Host was away, but was still contactable and very helpful.

This is a great place to stay.

This is a great place to stay. Ideal location to explore the beacons. Nice pub over the road with a friendly atmosphere. Can also recommend The Aberglais which is about a mile outside the village. Plenty of good walks and bike rides direct from the cottage plenty of others within a short driving distance. There is an Asda with a 24 hour petrol station about 10 minutes drive away. Also a Lidl just across from that. Food in the two pubs mentioned is also good. Aberglais was cheaper. Keith makes you feel very welcome. Overall we loved the quirkiness of the cottage and it's great location. Highly recommended. We will be back next year.
