Our car broke down on the way to our accommodation and the owners could not have been more welcoming and helpful in helping us throughout the weekend with no car. The accommodation was immaculate and the hot tub helped us relax.

Great high quality accommodation (just for two) in the grounds of the owners house, private and secluded and very quiet - a really great base to explore locally and the Brecon Beacons NP at large. Jacuzzi is a very welcome treat for aching legs after a good days walking or to get going in the morning. Local recommended trips, apart from hillwalkingRead more are a visit to the Blaenavon Big Pit (great underground tour) and a wild swim in keepers pond only a few miles away. Hide
