Cottage was beautiful and the area was lovely to walk round especially the viaduct 1km away. The cottage was around 40 minutes drive from most things eg Penn y fan and Brecon but this was manageable. Was a lovely stay and would recommend. Especially with the super cute animals surrounding the property.

Kestrel is a well-equipped and comfortable cottage, with en-suite shower rooms/lavatories attached to each bedroom. The kitchen and living room are spacious. The location is delightful, and the hosts (Mr and Mrs Lloyd) were friendly and helpful.
