   "The house is lovely and large, well equipped and comfortable with lots of nice design features, it was lovely and warm and there was plenty of hot water. The price was a bit much for what we got, but given it was a late booking for half term, we went with it anyway. The location is good for lots of attractions and lovely scenery.A couple of points to make: - There was a window broken in the living area. Although it looked like it had been secured with some wood and protective plastic coating, it made me very nervous given we had children with us.- It would have been nice to have 6 chairs at the breakfast bar, the accommodation sleeps 6 so it seemed odd to have only 5 stools. - The dining area could have been made better use of had the table been large/comfortable enough to seat all 6 of us for a meal. The lighting in this area was a bit poor too.- For the price we expected a real wow, we've stayed in many holiday cottages some for much less money than this one, and we've had out-of-this-world places, but this one lacked a little something. It just felt a little unfinished, needing a lick of paint here and there and some lightbulbs needed replacing, the garden could also have done with a tidy.- In the living room, as well as the comfy sofa, there is a random chair, it was a waste of space to be honest. It wasn't comfortable and in my view should be replaced with a proper armchair or additional sofa so that all the family can enjoy an evening together in comfort in front of the gorgeous woodburner.All said the house was warm and cosy, I'd suggest it is better suited for 5 people - you will have plenty of space for 5, 6 is a squeeze unless they are very small children."

   "A lovely little cottage in a great location but had some issues which would prevent us from staying there again ... and from providing a positive recommendation. If any of these things don't bother you, then stay at this cottage. 1. It reeked of dog. It's apparently a pet friendly cottage and seems to get used by a LOT of dogs. Not only did the cottage smell of dog, but I had to do a thorough sweeping to get rid of all the dog hair and dust - particularly under the furniture.2. The dishes were dirty. We had to clean everything before using. Glasses and some plates were greasy. 1 pot and 1 frying pan had food remnant on it. Cutting board still had food remnants on it. 3. The bathroom reeks of mould and old shower curtain. It smelled foul. There is a bath with a shower unit. You are obliged to shower with a 360 shower curtain which needs to be in the bath or water drips onto the couch downstairs. It is therefore very difficult to shower without the (disgusting) curtain clinging to you. I also had to replace the dirty floor mat with a clean one i found elsewhere in the cottage.4. The beds are clean and the bedrooms are fine. I have no hesitation recommending them. The master bedroom has a glorious view.5. The views from the cottage are great and, weather permitting, would recommend having a BBQ.6. The location is great. The local reservoir is lovely to walk/jog around, it has a quaint tea room and steam train station, and there are two lovely pubs nearby. One of the pubs has free internet which is handy for setting up satnav on your phone before heading out. "

   "An absolutely wonderful property, incredibly well built and with an all-encompassing homely feel. The quality of finishing and overall décor is superb and the spiral staircase has to be seen to be believed, especially with all of the LED spotlights illuminated.The various spaces (lounge, kitchen, dining area) downstairs are all open plan and yet still enjoy a degree of separation. The outside space is beautiful - think babbling brook alongside a quaint country garden and you're almost there. Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms, one with en-suite, and all immaculately finished and with Suffolk-latched oak doors and amazing tilt and turn windows, a theme throughout the house. But the prize on the upper floor is the bathroom! as well as a walk in full body shower there is a composite stone bowl bath and stone basins - I'm a shower person, but even I had to try that bath! Couple a truly amazing home with a proper village pub that's only 100 metres away and you've got a holiday. In short we loved staying there and are going to book a longer stay next year and perhaps explore the village and surrounding area more, but then we might just decide to enjoy S24575 a bit more."

   "Absolutely perfect and amazing!! The only thing my family and I noticed upon arrival was the location of the cottage in respect to other properties (the cottage is right behind another property). However, please do not let this put you off this property! We could not even tell that anyone else was there at all.Everything about this property is stunning - the views, the garden, the location, the kitchen (breathtaking). Every room is unique and immaculate. The local pub serves a Sunday dinner that is one of the best we have ever had, and they are exceedingly friendly. There is even a park nearby - great for those whose toddlers have never-ending energy and still need to run around after a full day out trekking. By far this is the best cottage we have ever stayed at, and I really doubt we will ever find one to even match in comparison. The owners have a wonderful story to tell and are exceptionally friendly."

   "Beacon's Rest was good in every way - frendly and welcoming owners, good facilities, comfortable and with everything one would need during a stay. Kitchen facilities good - no oven but twin microwave/grill covered all types for cooking. Fridge freezer allowed food to be bought and kept or frozen until needed. The location was great for visiting places within the National Park and further afield - South Wales including Cardiff. Brecon itself is right on the doorstep with ample car parking and three supermarkets. Location itself on the edge of the river on a 'no through road' meant it was extremely quiet and peaceful. TV worked fine - during my stay the Olympics were on and I was able to watch all I wanted. I would certainly recommend Beacon's Rest to anyone wanting a peaceful and relaxing break amidst lovely scenery."
