    The notice above the thermostat in the kitchen: the information written in red could potentially be interpreted as passive aggressive, particularly the paragraph regarding the maximum temperature. In my opinion (I am assuming this notice does not change for the winter period & I am also assuming this property is available to rent during the winter period), if one is paying to rent a property such as this short term, one should be able to increase the temperature if needed beyond 21 degrees, at their own discretion without the ‘owners being emailed’ to alert, if the weather dictates. There are also certain health conditions which people may have which does not allow them to regulate their body temperature. There was a used/worn down nail brush in the bathroom window which would have harboured bacteria - I am not sure of its purpose. The area between the bathroom window rubber & glass was black with dirt which I was able to scrape off with my nail. There was a lot of mould around the bathroom window. The plug hole in the bath had a fair amount of hair in it. I am quite particular about plug holes & do always check plug holes anywhere I stay for cleanliness. Crumbs in the fridge on arrival. Bits of food attached to the oven shelf. Tomato seeds in the sink.

    Comfortable Well equipped Value for money

    The heating is restricted to 20°C which I think is wrong as, there is a note to state that if you set it to 20°C it'll heat to ,21°C which is "more than sufficient"... This is a matter of opinion and as someone who has a toddler and a newborn baby, I would have liked to have been able to increase the temperature at least by a couple of degrees; maybe to around 23°C occasionally, especially in the night when the bungalow goes very cold (16/17°C) when the heating isn't on. Also, if you're allowing the bungalow to be heated to 21°C, at least allow the guests to set it at 21°C, not 20 as we set it to 20°C and it did not always reach 21°C. The note also states that if the property reaches above 21°C the owner will be alerted and the temperature decreased which again, I feel is wrong. I understand that you're trying to be eco friendly and keep costs down but I think the limit ought to be 23°C at least to allow for people who like to be very warm and for people with very young infants/children.

    Beautiful, spacious bungalow, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Some lovely added touches of milk and biscuits provided. Great location. Lovely views also, enjoyable stay.

    -Unfortunately the bathroom suffers with a condensation problem, due to the fantastic shower. Tiles could in the shower could do with a clean though. -Not a negative, but the property could benefit from a dishwasher.

    -The space in the property allowed for everyone to have their own individual spaces, but nice communal spaces too. -Beds and sofa were comfortable. -Good TV -Modernised bungalow -Good value for money

    Only that we found the shower base slippery when wet, so a non slip rubber mat might be an idea for the future, especially for older people like us (in our 70s). In fairness, we did not get round to mentioning that to Carol.

    The bungalow was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Our host Carol was very helpful and understanding in going out of her way to fetch extra bedding when my husband was unwell. The location was good as a central point for exploring the Brecon Beacons east and west, as well as visiting Swansea and Cardiff.

    The fact the garage was locked and the bathroom fan wouldn’t turn off and her note said you had to turn off but nowhere was there a switch. I did message the owner and got no reply. There was mould on bathroom ceiling and the lounge suite was not that comfortable
