    Nothing - we'll could maybe use an extra mirror in the main room.

    Decor was lovely! Really beautiful and unexpected. Would consider bringing the kids, loved the bunk beds. Easy to get in. Loved the Welsh cakes too :). Ideal location to get to nearby Pen Y Fan.

    James’ place is a gorgeous little studio ideally situated at the foot of the Brecon Beacons. Perfect getaway for anybody looking to explore the area! Very happy with the service received and lots of helpful advice on where to go and what to do. Thanks guys 😁

    We couldn’t work out how to change the temperature in the room and the main door off the street was very hard to open and close.

    Fun property and perfect for what we needed. It was clean and cozy. Parking was close by and the host provided us with lots of useful information. Highly recommended if you’re planning a short trip to go walking up Pen Y Fan as it’s very close.

    Any questions or queries we had the staff were quick and very helpful when responding. The apartment was exceptionally clean on arrival. Loved the colourful, vibrant, modern interior. Loved the fact that the premises was pet friendly also. It was situated in a quiet area with no trouble inside or outside.

    My one niggle with the property would have to be the soundproofing of the rooms. You'll be fine if your neighbours are respectful. Other than that no issues or complaints

    Modern and stylish finish. Had all the things we needed including plates and cutlery, soft bedding and towels. Close to a large retail park and lots of restaurants nearby too. Ideal location.

Great location & close to all amenities. Really useful info sent to us by hosts ahead of arrival which was handy. Would absolutely stay again!

    Great central location with cooking facilities.

    Lack of handrail on steep stairs up to the room, as difficult to negotiate with a large suitcase, when you're an older lady. Lack of armchair in room, as when it was raining, I stayed indoors during free time and read a book. Anything else I had problems with was due to my own inability to operate electrical equipment, I'd not seen before, or due to my lack of prior communication about spending time in the apartment, during the daytime. But this was quickly rectified by the owners coming to the apartment to instruct me and to change the heating programme.

    Owners were very thorough with instructions before my stay, should I want to go walking or out to country pubs and restaurants. But as I'd travelled by train and had come for the Comedy Festiva,l in April 2023. I remained close to town. Great central location, within easy walking distance of train station, comedy venues, shops, pubs and eateries. As I'd planned to cook for myself, I did so and was delighted to have the facilities to do this. Some nice welcoming touches such as tea, coffee, milk and Welsh cakes, in the kitchen and a few sweets on the bed. Beautifully clean, spacious, light and airy, with plenty of hangers for clothes. Very comfortable double bed. My request for some thin pillows was honoured. I was given a jar of delicious homemade honey to take home with me, by the owners too. Thankyou.

    Only one glass for soft drinks. WiFi was a little intermittent at times. No bin in the bathroom and another hook for hanging towels would have been nice.

    Location was perfect. Easy to walk into the town centre. Clean and modern interior. Comfy bed. Great communication from host.

    The room has everything needed and is clean. They might have some issues with humidity perhaps. But it wasn't a big problem for us.

    The hosts were so helpful and super nice! They gave us a bunch of recommendations, and answered all our questions. They even helped us find a last-minute solution for our friend who had his flight canceled and had to stay an extra night with us. It is also beautifully situated, definitely worth a visit!
