Snaptrip says

The Croft is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its ample space, beautiful location, and excellent pool and sauna facilities. The property is ideal for large family gatherings, offering a comfortable and well-equipped setting for memorable occasions. While some guests noted issues with inaccurate property descriptions and customer service, the overall experience is highly regarded.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the property as clean and tidy, with only minor niggles mentioned. The positive remarks about the property's cleanliness from multiple reviews suggest a high standard is maintained.

The location is generally praised for its quietness and proximity to the Brecons, with beautiful views and grounds. However, some guests noted noise from nearby roads, which slightly impacts the score.

The property is frequently described as comfortable, with ample space and well-equipped rooms. There are a few mentions of low doorways and bed sizes, but these are minor compared to the overall comfort experienced by guests.

Facilities like the pool, sauna, and games room are highlights, though some guests reported issues with non-working saunas and plumbing. The lack of a jacuzzi, despite being advertised, also affects the score.

There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, a score cannot be given.
