"This cottage really didn't live up to expectations. From the strong smell of damp to the dirty toilet and everything in between it really wasn't a great place to stay. The floors were so think with hair we had to buy a vacuum cleaner whilst there to try and tidy up a bit.We were staying as a family, and had planned to use the three bedrooms, but had to put both children in the same room together as the room with bunks was very damp and we worried about their health if they stayed in there. Our bed, although looking good, was actually very uncomfortable. As was the sofa and chairs in the living room. The bath has no shower attachment to enable hair washing at all. We need up having to get a large jug to try and rinse clean. The floor covering in the bathroom is also coming apart. Probably something to do with the lack of bath mat. We booked a cottage with a washing machine and tumble dryer, turned out it was a washer dryer, however nothing I could do would get the dryer part to work. Very irritating given I like to wash on holiday to keep in top of things. The kitchen was well fitted out with oven, job microwave etc. However nothing was clean. Another major disappointment was the hot tub. We only ever stay in cottages or lodges with tubs. It's our luxury when on holiday. However this wasn't a luxury this time. All previous places have told us not to worry about chemicals as they sort it and also make a point of telling us its all fresh and they change the water for each set of guests etc. However I doubt the water had been changed in this one for a while, it. Smelt and looked quite grim. We were also given no instruction on use etc like most places. The cottage has potential, it just needs some proper attention and eye for detail. Unfortunately I will never see it as I certainly won't be returning."

We managed two barbecues while we were there.<br /> Tips: Get good ordnance survey maps and a compass and you&#39;ll be fine for walking. There aren&#39;t many signed footpaths. Brecon and Hay on Wye - very nice towns.</span>"

"It would be a lovely holiday home in the summer and we felt very welcomed by the owner but it was very cold inside the house. The radiators and hot water ran off the log burner which meant you had to light it and check it every 30 minutes. Even when it was blasting it still did not heat the front room to a cosey temperature. We then had to use the plug in electric heaters which would of been fine but we had to pay for the electric as we used it putting pound coins in the metre which cost a good £6+ a day. If the electric was included I would return but unfortunately it lead to a holiday constantly worrying about whether we had change and how we was going to heat the home. Not the luxury cottage stay I was hoping for unfortunately."

"Excellent landlord and landlady . Although the cottage is a really old building, it is well equipped, clean, tidy and well presented. The welcome pack is wonderful and the landlady had the kettle boiling for a cup of tea when we arrived - thankyou. The roads surrounding the cottage are narrow but passable with care. The views everywhere are stunning and to see the red kites at feeding time is amazing. Swansea, Cardiff and surrounding areas are all reachable and there are tourist attractions to visit too such as St Fagans. However the local area lends its well to walking holidays away from crowds and traffic. Have already recommended this place to friends and family."

"The cottage is very comfy, clean and cosy and just a short scenic drive to all that beautiful Brecon Beacons has to offer. Its close proximity to the Red Kite feeding station is also a bonus as the Kites are always on view whatever time of the day. Taking advantage of the free admission to see the Kites being fed is a must, stunning! Also enjoyed late night dog walks through the lanes looking at the beautiful night sky. Good wifi, log burning stove and a power shower. Owners very nice and helpful and respect to them for feeding the kites every single day of the year whatever the weather."
