We had a great stay in April. The host was very friendly, and everything we needed was provided. The place was super cosy and warm. There's a nearby animal farm, and our 1.5-year-old boy really enjoyed it. The Box was clean and had all the equipment needed for a 2 and 3 night stay. I would definitely recommend coming here and we might even come bacRead morek if we decide to visit the Brecon Beacons again! :) Hide
