Really charming place in a peaceful area. The host was warm, approachableand happy to help with anything. We enjoyed a scenic walk in the countryside, followed by a delicious lunch at Foyles in Glasbury, plus the Sunday roast at Griffin Inn was spot on!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was perfect for two families and had everything we needed. The owner was super helpful and flexible. The Griffin pub just a couple of minutes away was lovely. Great spot for exploring the River Wye, Brecon, Hay-on-Wyeand other parts of the Brecon Beacons. Definitely recommend!
Emma Collins
The barn was spacious and beautifully converted, perfect for our group. The owners were super friendly and available if needed. Our teenagers loved the hot tub, though it was quite warm when we visited, so we kept the windows open. Being on a busy main road meant some noise, but overall a lovely spot to base ourselves for exploring!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay at the house. It’s super spacious, perfect for a bigger groupand the welcome pack was a lovely touch along with fresh flowers when we arrived. The location was great for exploring local attractionsand we loved the village pub for food and strolls by the river. The only thing is, it’s quite close to a busy road, so there was some traffic noise, which took a bit of getting used to. Still, we’d definitely recommend staying here!
Emma
We had such a lovely weekend! The hosts were genuinely warm and attentive, making us feel really welcome. The cottage had everything we needed - plenty of glasses, utensilsand even toilet rolls. The indoor hot tub was a real highlightand the small courtyard was perfect for sunny days. All the rooms were beautifully decorated too. Thanks a lot for a great stay, we’ll definitely come back!
Emma Clarke

Emma
The cottage was fantastic-super clean and roomy, with the hot tub being a real highlight. Liz was a lovely host and the welcome pack was a nice touch. The nearby pub, The Griffin, served up some really good food. Can’t wait to return!
Emma
The barn was lovely, really cosy, but the traffic noise was a bit of a bother.
Emma
Liz and Steve were really friendly and easy to contact both before and during our stay. The barn is super spacious, spotlessand has everything you’d need. The indoor hot tub was a real treat, especially after a long drive. We were a group of friends looking for a chill weekendand it definitely delivered. When we arrived, there was a lovely welcome pack, which was a nice touch, but we’d also ordered a grocery delivery since we weren’t sure what was in the village. The local cafe served delicious foodand The Griffin pub offered a fantastic Sunday roast plus a decent takeaway menu. We’d definitely come back!
Ellie
What a lovely spot! Tucked just outside the Brecon Beacons, this place was spotless and had everything we could ask for. The hot tub was perfect after a long day’s walk. The hosts were super helpful and nearby if we needed anything. Only issue was the main road outside, which was a bit noisy at night when the windows were open. Still, we’d definitely recommend staying here. Really enjoyed our stay!
