    Nothing we didn't like and can't wait to book again.

    This cottage was the perfect getaway we needed. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Great distance to all the places we wanted to explore in Wales, nowhere seemed too far away, Cardiff, Beacons and so much more. The perfect base for exploring and after a long day out, Crickhowell had the most wonderful choice of pubs on your doorstep. Not that I wanted too but had to spend one morning working. Had the perfect set up in the dining room with Wi-Fi.

    Main issue is proximity to A40 which was surprisingly noisy in the early morning.

    One aspect that needs to be looked at is the back door. The lock is weak and when I locked it the door actually opened. A small bathroom catch was the only additional security. If this is improved, I would have given it a '10'.

    Excellent location and period style property in the heart of Crickhowell. Comfortable and well furnished rooms throughout. Very clean on arrival and keys easily collected from the Dragon Inn hotel which is a short walk away from the property. Parking excellent at the Hotel as well. Two large bedrooms and a separate dining and sitting area. I would certainly stay here again. I enjoyed the paintings throughout the house as well.

    The only negative was the snug toilet.

    Number 8 was perfect for our party of three adults, with comfortable furnishings and beds. The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped and very clean. The town of crickhowel and the surrounding area are beautiful and this cottage is the perfect base from which to explore.

    Could not sleep due to noise of traffic from about 4am in a morning. Really needs double glazing in the bedrooms.

    Hard to sleep with the road noise. It's seems after midnight the lorries come flying through Crickhowell. Also bin lorries at 6am reversing up the road . As there is no double or secondary glazing you hear everything. It's a shame as everything else was really lovely .

    Lovely period cottage, nicely decorated and the kind of holiday home I love staying in. Beds were really comfy, great bathroom and nicely decorated. Well placed close to the main area. The staff at the Dragon inn were exceptionally helpful and handy to be able to park there.

    Weirdly on the first night (Tuesday after bank holiday) the road noise was horrific from 3am onwards (lorry after lorry rattling along the pot holes). We were dreading the next night as we’d already lost out on sleep, but we never experienced it after that. And the bin man comes at 4:30!!! Take your ear plugs and also eye curtains. The blinds were lovely but still lots of light came in. Got locked out due to faulty latch which was not great after a 18 mile walk but compensated for the 4 hours we were locked out. And hopefully this won’t be an issue for future renters! Although the locksmith was nice eye candy 😆😆

    Bed super comfy. Lovely bed linen. Excellent shower. Great location for choice of evening places to eat in walking distance and good base for the walks we wanted to do. Eye for detail in the appartement good. And small private gravel garden which got the evening sun.

    For the asking price there's nothing really to complain about. The only problem we had is that we were unable to obtain a VAT receipt for our stay. Booking.com would not provide one for this stay for some reason.

    Lovely period accommodation, right Inthe middle of this lovely little town and retaining lots of original features, slightly quirky - but everything we needed was there. For our business trip so much better than a hotel as we were able work at the dining table. We had breakfast at the dragon inn which I highly recommend.

    The traffic noise was noticeable at night, especially when a lorry rumbled past.

    A lovely cottage situated in the centre of Crickhowell, nice period features, it felt very homely. It had everything we needed for our stay,would recommend it.

    There was nothing to not like. Everything was perfect.

    Check in was very easy , keys are collected from the very nice pub literally 2 mins walk from the cottage which also has a large car park which is free to use for the cottage guests. The location of the house is spot on, everything you could need is at most 5 minutes walk away. The area surrounding Crickhowell has absolutely stunning scenary, we were attending a training day at nearby the Glanusk estate and the cottage was perfect for that. In cottage itself is beautifully equipped with very comfy beds and a great shower. 100% will be returning for a break with my wife instead of work collegue!
