We got this cottage last minute for New Years for a very good price. We stayed 2 nights in the 'Glyn' studio cottage which was just lovely! Small but really good use of space so it didnt feel cramped at all. The kitchen in a cupboard was great and the bathroom was really modern. They left us some tea, sugar etc which was really handy, the place was immaculate. The heated flooring was lovely especially after a long cold day in the mountains. Make sure you take advantage of the surrounding countryside and walking, would definitely stay again - thank you :)

We stayed in the Arian cottage - it was beautiful with a nice cosy feeling, accentuated by the log fire we had burning in the evenings. The owners are lovely and very knowledgable about the area. Out the bedroom window the views are stunning, even though the Welsh weather wasn't kind to us! The main reason for our visit was Bike Park Wales - it's a perfect location as the park is only about 20 minutes by car or apparently you can ride over the mountain if you are brave enough! Hope to visit again soon..

We stayed in the 'Glas' studio which is admittedly 'compact' but did not feel cramped in the slightest due to the excellent use of the space! We arrived much later (11pm) than anticipated after being involved in an accident to find that the bucket for the log burning stove fully stocked with paper, kindling and logs-a very welcome bonus after a fifteen hour journey! We saw a lot of Richard (owner) who was very friendly and informative and Lesley the manager also very helpful and friendly. Only came into contact with Sheila, Richards wife once but she made a point of saying hello and telling us not to hesitate to nip to the house if we needed anything at all. All in all a welcome second to none! The cottage is extremely well equipped, everything you could ask for in the

We have just returned from a wonderful weekend staying in the Glas Studio. I can't praise this place enough! The owners were very welcoming and made us feel comfortable straight away. The studio is full of character, cosy and warm whilst being practical and extremely clean. It's location is ideal for walking and a visit to the waterfalls is a must! In the evenings we relaxed guilt free in front of the TV (sky movies)! The bed is very very comfy despite being able to be split into to singles, so don't let this put you off if you are looking as a couple! There are some lovely short walks from the farm, you can even walk to a lovely local pub which does good pub food. Just a perfect place to relax with wonderful views! Can't wait to come back at New Year!

I took my partner here for her birthday for 3 nights. The studio we stayed in was perfect, it was very clean and well presented. It was so cosy in the evenings with the log burner on, we didn't want to leave when it was time to go home. We would certainly recommend this place to anyone and we will definitely be back to stay again in the future 😊

Stayed just the one night in Gwyn cottage. Very compact and bijou but perfect for the amount of time we was there. Not too far from many tourist attractions in the area. Brecon is definately worth a visit. Views from the cottage were good with horses, sheep and the family dogs all just outside. The cottage itself is well equipped and comfortable and the owners are extremely helpful and friendly. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Stayed here for 5 nights last month. Lovely location just a few minutes from the Brecon Beacons. Plenty of walks and things to do around. We were in the studio cottage as it was just the two of us. Good size double bed, lounge area with sky tv, kitchenette with all you need for a short break , and a fantastic little private BBQ area right outside our front door. We had a BBQ every night as the weather was great. We would most definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

We stayed in arian cottage for one night in June. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you would need. Rustic country cottage style with luxury comforts of underfloor heating, log burner and power shower. The cottage has a lovely area outside to sit and enjoy the view and the owners were very welcoming and helpful. The cottage is surrounded by woodland and hills ( which you can wonder in at your own leisure) and the brecon beacons national park is 10 minutes drive away. Wonderful stay.

What a wonderful little cottage! My husband, 6 year old daughter and I stayed in Melyn (2 bedroom cottage) for 4 nights and enjoyed every moment. The exposed stone walls, flagstone floors downstairs, spiral staircase and natural wood floors upstairs all create a rustic cosy atmosphere. The underfloor heating makes the whole place toasty warm both day and night, but the logburner in the living room area is great for romantic evenings. The views across the valley to the hills beyond are truly beautiful and we enjoyed a lovely, long, lazy evening just gazing out from our own private little front garden, which had seating for 4 and its own barbecue! The small kitchen area has everything you could need and is open plan to the dining area and living room. Upstairs there is a

We had a lovely stay here for my husband's birthday. These little stone cottages are gorgeous and sympathetically decorated (apart from one questionable light fitting). The area is lovely with panoramic views and there is everything you could wish for in the room for a self-catering holiday. Richard, the owner was friendly as were the lovely little Spanish water dogs. We attempted to light the fire but gave up as we didn't really need to add to the cosy atmosphere as the weather that weekend was surprisingly glorious. We would have taken a longer walk along the old railway path in the morning but didn't have appropriate footwear, so settled for a short amble. On our next visit we'll suit up and travel the mile to the pub at the end!
