    Very light in the morning so perhaps some darker blinds?

    Very comfy bed, all the essentials and the continental breakfast was great

    There is nothing to dislike about this property.

    Immaculately clean and very well equipped. Access to a large, fully furnished garden area. This is the closest you will get to a 5 star hotel without actually booking into one. The fridge was stocked with charcuterie meats and pate. Cereals, tea, coffee, sugar, milk and fruit are provided as well as a chocolate treat. Robes and towels are provided as well as shower gel and hand soap. There are feather pillows on the bed and a lovely stream running behind the property. We booked late with little notice to the hosts who accommodated us beautifully. They are so very pleasant and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

    Nothing to dislike.

    Lovely warm welcome from Sharon. All facilities were superb and the bed was very comfortable.There was a super bathroom with shower and also a well equipped kitchenette stocked up with everything we could possibly need for a great breakfast. The studio flat was spotlessly clean throughout, tastefully decorated and looked out on to a patio garden. Quiet and private and just what we needed for a break en route to our holiday in Anglesey. Many thanks for your warm hospitality so greatly appreciated.

    I can't say there was anything we didn't like.

    The apartment had everything we needed. David was very pleasant and left us a bar of choc everyday, he left hot cross buns on easter Sunday and also gave us some of his lovely homemade sausage rolls. Would definitely recommend, there was a lovely pub with friendly staff and excellent food, Bridge Inn and The New Gurkha Restaurant and they were both a couple of minutes walk away. Didn't want to go back home.

    There was nothing I'd want improving - the weather maybe? ;)

    Lovely little 'studio apartment' in the middle of the brecon beacons, consisting of bedroom/sitting room, small, modern kitchenette and good sized shower room. The kitchen was stocked with tea/coffee and everything needed for a continental style breakfast (plus mince pies - it was just after xmas when we visited). It was clean and comfortable, and the owner came in and tidied while we were out, leaving clean towels. In the evening there was enough light to read by, and the TV had Sky on it.

    A wonderfully comfortable stay, with everything you could possibly need. There was a great selection of breakfast foods, bathrobes, a wonderful power shower, plus the usual tea and coffee facilities. There was also off-road parking, which was appreciated. The location is perfect for exploring nearby towns such as Hay and Abergavenny. The owner, Sharon, has developed top quality guest accommodation and we both highly recommend it.

    Such a comfortable and peaceful stay! This cute place was spotless and quiet, with very helpful hosts. There was a very generous amount of food which we could help ourselves to. It was cosy and warm, couldn't have been a more enjoyable stay. There was a lovely pub within easy walking distance, with a good atmosphere, food, and fire!
