Lovely cottage in a superb location. Great for local walks. Especially good for larger groups. Having the type 2 charger is a real help if you've got an EV, although there are also a few chargers at the car park in Talgarth. The cottage is well maintained.

Maybe the most perfect place I stayed at. None of the group wanted to leave. The home is beautiful and cozy, has everything you may need and I very warmly recommend it!

We were a group of 11 staying for 3 nights. The house was very well equipped for a large group. Plenty of toilets, ample en-suites and bathrooms, and plenty of hot water. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils. We would definitely stay again.

Probably rate as my favourite holiday in the UK so far, outstanding location, outstanding views, peace and quiet Every day. Communication was fantastic with hosts, property was more than enough for us, 7 adults, 2 kids, 1 toddler. Close enough for plenty of places to visit, remote enough from city life. Sincerely hope to stay here again.

Absolutely beautiful cottage in a quiet area amazing for walking sight seeing. The pub across the road Dinas Castle Inn was great for food and drink if you didn't want to cook so that was a welcome change with very friendly staff. The cottage facilities were excellent gas bbq and lovely seating area walking was amazing around had a walk up MynyddRead more Troed a hill walk quite steep at times took around an hour to get to the top I am not an experienced mountain walker by any means but the views at the top were totally worth it. We are planning to return next year to this cottage my family loved it Hide

If you are looking for a big sized, clean accommodation in the Brecon Beacons then scroll no further, a great place to share with your family.

Well equipped house suitable for a larger party with plenty of parking and extensive grounds (although hilly). Great walks from the house. Friendly and responsive owners / housekeeper. Unusual and interesting sound system for the house with CDs and records available to play - not to everyone's taste so maybe bring some of your own music?
