Despite the draining of the canal we had a lovely stay. Cottage was great and in a perfect location. Helen (the host) was very kind in giving us a small discount due to canal drainage! I would add mirrors above the chests of drawers in the bedrooms and the use of a clothes airer to make it even more perfect.

Amazing little cottage overlooking canal with a log burner for chilly nights. What more could you ask for?
Fully equipped and clean kitchen, bathroom and really beautiful homely house.
We absolutely loved our weekend here!
Thank you

Bad odours all through the house, previous tenant left rotten fish. Lounge carpet smelly, laminate for pets please.
Mattress full of large brown stains, bedding cheap polycotton.
Conservatory window leaking in the rain, desperately needs varnishing.
Lovely views we spent a couple of days here, very expensive for 3nights .
Host responsive to take on board comments.

Lovely conservatory view of the canal and hills.
There is no parking if you get here late afternoon or weekends
There isn't a bath (advert says 2baths)
it's a shower and ground floor WC.
The house smells strongly of fish,as we entered,strong in bedrooms too
Cobwebs in kitchen, House generally tired.
plants needing TLC in conservatory. and the wood caring for.
The quilt covers are polycotton, no top sheet. I expected better for the price £££
The conservatory view is lovely , worth the stay.

Swan Cottage was an absolutely lovely base for our week-long exploration of the Brecon Beacons. It was clean, comfortable, and it felt like every need had been anticipated. And the conservatory was just fabulous! We loved having coffee out there each morning watching the ducks swim by. It was a very short walk into town and was very conveniently located to all of the activities we wanted to do. Parking on the street right in front of the house is a bit tricky, but we never had any issue finding parking close by on the main street. Would not hesitate to stay there again if we were visiting the area.

Great cottage - very comfortable and well equipped. Fantastic location right by the canal and close to the busy town but quiet and peaceful. We had sunshine all weekend and were able to enjoy sitting in the garden but also made use of the conservatory in the cooler evenings and can imagine even on a wet day it would be lovely to sit and watch the world go by.
Well located for exploring the Brecons and based on a previous review - we walked the four waterfalls walk and agree it is a stunning walk - popular but perfect on a hot day.
Parking is the only downside but managed to park on the main street and the neighbours that we met were very friendly so have no doubt they wouldn't mind anyone taking time to unload/load outside the property if needed.
Would happily stay here again and Helen was a great host.

We absolutely loved our stay at Swan Cottage. This lovely place is right on the canal side and the conservatory is the most perfect place to sit to watch the dog walkers and boats go by. It is situated just a short walk from town which has plenty of eateries and shops
We will definitely be booking to return again
The cottage is a lovely size with two double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and toilet downstairs. It was spotlessly clean and the games and dvds are a winner with children, especially liking the domino set
Thank you for having us

Stayed for a long weekend in March. The propery was lovely, very comfortable and only minutes from the town centre. After a long day walking it was so nice to relax in front of a real fire. Highlight of the cottage was sitting in the conservatory, which looked dorectly on the canal, watching the swans and ducks go by. The cottage is in an ideal location for exploring Brecon and the Brecon Beacons. I recommend the four waterfalls for a stunning walk. Overall great value for money and absolutely no issues - definitely going back !
