Guests say

Beacons Rest is highly praised for its cleanliness, delightful location, and welcoming hosts who provide thoughtful touches like homemade bread. The compact studio is well-equipped, offering a comfortable and peaceful stay with beautiful scenery and convenient access to local attractions and walks.

Guests consistently commend the studio's spotless condition, indicating meticulous upkeep and attention to cleanliness.

The property's location is celebrated for its tranquillity, proximity to Brecon, and easy access to walks and attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the Brecon Beacons.

The studio is described as cosy and comfortable, with a few guests noting the space is compact. The bed's size was a minor concern for a taller guest, slightly impacting the comfort score.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with all essentials for a short stay provided. However, limited cooking space and some communication issues regarding amenities have been noted.

Many guests mention the thoughtful gestures of the hosts, such as homemade bread and a warm welcome. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, they are a personal touch and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Brecon 2 miles.

A high quality studio apartment attached to the owners' home, close to the River Usk in the quiet hamlet of Fennifach, two miles from Brecon. This pretty Brecon self-catering apartment offers very comfortable accommodation, lovingly styled to offer a perfect romantic base in a wonderfully peaceful location. This beautiful Brecon self-catering apartment has the most welcoming feel - the lovely balcony is ideal for alfresco dining and soaking up the lovely views, while inside, the accommodation is cosy whatever the weather. Spend relaxing days in and around this lovely Brecon self-catering apartment with scenic river walks right from the doorstep taking you further into the countryside or into Brecon town itself where you can enjoy the wonderful architecture, the quaint little shops, afternoon tea or a trip to the theatre. Maybe enjoy boat rides on the river or fantastic walks through the magnificent Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons), with their ever-changing scenery. With great cycle routes in the Bannau Brycheiniog, why not bring along your bike? The area is ideal for walking, hiking, cycling or just enjoying wonderful days out. The Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) has been designated an International Dark Sky Reserve for astronomers, only the fifth in the world. Head further south to explore Swansea and Cardiff, or head west to Laugharne, home to Dylan Thomas's writing shed. Laugharne will be home to many celebrations of Thomas's work in 2014 as the village marks the centenary of the poet's birth. From this delightful Brecon self-catering apartment you can explore an abundance of castles and museums, watch the red kites at the nearby feeding station, enjoy permit fishing, wander around beautiful gardens, maybe add a round of golf and then return to your romantic retreat for cosy evenings together. A perfect Brecon self-catering apartment, all year round.

The town of Brecon, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park has Georgian and Jacobean architecture, a cathedral, museums, a theatre, a cinema, shops, restaurants and pubs. The stunning Brecon Beacons National Park is a haven for walkers and cyclists, with breathtaking countryside, waterfalls and caves. Also with the National Park are market towns, castles, and monuments, plus relaxing activities, such as pony trekking, and a ride on the Brecon steam railway. Within driving distance is the town of Hay-on-Wye with its many book and antique shops, plus the towns of Abergavenny and Builth Wells are well worth exploring. Brecon is an ideal base from which to explore the area.

    Nice and warm. Cosy and comfortable. Met our needs well.

  • Caroline

    For a studio flat, Beacon's Rest is incredibly well-equipped. It is homely and cosy (we had mixed weather), very peaceful and extremely well thought out. We would definitely recommend!

  • David
