Snaptrip says

The Croft is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its excellent leisure facilities, particularly the pool complex, which caters to a wide age range. The property's spaciousness, comfortable furnishings, and well-equipped kitchen are frequently mentioned, alongside its beautiful grounds and views. While some guests noted minor issues with noise and plumbing, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the property as clean and tidy, contributing to a comfortable stay. The presence of a cleaning team readying the property for the next visitors suggests a high standard of cleanliness is maintained.

The property's location is generally appreciated for its quietness and proximity to the Brecons, with magnificent views and ample parking. However, some guests noted the proximity to busy roads, which could be a slight drawback for those seeking complete tranquillity.

The comfort of the beds and the homely feel of the property are highlighted, although a few guests mentioned low doorways and the need to choose rooms carefully for taller individuals. Overall, the property is seen as comfortable and suitable for large groups.

The facilities, especially the pool, sauna, and games room, are a hit with guests of all ages. The well-equipped kitchen and spacious dining area are also appreciated. Some minor maintenance issues were mentioned, such as plumbing and sauna malfunctions, but these do not significantly detract from the overall experience.

While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

  • Howard

    The swimming pool and garden are wonderful and it was perfect for 10 adults and 8 children meeting together. Everyone loved it all!

  • Elizabeth

    Family of 13 adults and 5 children celebrating 2 x 30th, a 50th and a 60th birthday. The pool is amazing, beds were super comfy, kitchen was so well equipped, really everything you could want was catered for. I really can't say enough about the Croft. We will be returning 100% and already recommended it to other friends. An absolute hidden jewel, if I could give more than 5 stars I would
