Lovely cottage on a working farm. Good location and easy to find. Nice log burner and supply of wood for the cold evenings. Cottage has everything you need and more. Comfortable beds, certainly get a peaceful night's sleep.

Lovely barn conversion with plenty of space for a large party. Attractive to families with children but youngsters would need supervision due to stream and animals. Easy access to Crickhowell and plenty of countryside to explore. Several pubs/restaurants within reach, supermarkets rather sparse but accessible in Brecon or Abergavenny.

A lovely, comfortable and well-stocked holiday cottage. Great to be in the middle of a working farm with, horses and sheep. Our dog immediately decided it was a farm dog and wanted to join the very friendly farm dogs. Lovely walks and a beautiful stream, great pub in walking distance. The farm is really well positioned for access to Crickhowell/HayRead more/Brecon and all the activities at Llangorse lake. One really minor issue is that there is a bit of traffic noise but great for a family break. Hide

Clean, well equipped (inc. provisions for young children e.g. cutlery, toys, potty seat), cosy and warm, easy to find location with parking for 2-3 cars, but most importantly very welcoming host who were approachable and kind. Highly recommended for families and would stay again.
