Very luxurious property with stunning views in a peaceful countryside location within close proximity to the Brecon Beacons. Had a lovely week long stay during the winter and will definitely return for a visit in summer months. Highly recommended.

We were a party of 6 adults and found the chalet extremely comfortable with plenty of space for us all. The owners were on hand if we had a question and the view was just stunning. If you are looking to get away from it all, with a touch of luxury you have found the perfect place, with the added bonus of a hot tub to watch the world go by. You wontRead more be disappointed.

We loved Glanllyn. Tastefully decorated, well equipped and very comfortable. All the thought John Davies has put in to reduce the carbon footprint of the build and the daily running was important to us and appreciated. Glanllyn is in a very quiet and restful location high up on a farm.Thank you John and Menna.
