Swnyradar Reviews

Jamie T.
We had such a lovely stay! The house is beautifully decorated and set in a truly stunning location, perfect for escaping. The privacy was fantasticand the hot tub was a real highlight-especially in the rain, it felt so magical. Plenty of firewood was provided for both the hot tub and the log burner inside, which was great. The three double bedrooms were spaciousand we really appreciated the thoughtful touches like dog towels for our furry friend. The handwritten local walk maps and the welcoming info folder made exploring easier. The host was discreet but available if needed. We’re already planning to come back next year!
Emma
This place is fantastic, with breathtaking views of the Brecon Beacons. The house is super comfy and peaceful, with a big garden perfect for relaxing. We loved the hot tub and BBQ outside. The woodburner made the evenings extra cosy, though the house was warm enough on its own. Definitely planning to come back next year!

Alex Morgan
We loved the peaceful vibe hereand the owners were genuinely lovely and accommodating. The three bedrooms are a good size, perfect for relaxing after busy days exploring. Climbing up Pan-Y-Fan wasn’t relaxing, but doing it with my wife, daughterand her husband made it all worth it. Brecon’s just a short drive, with its pubs, shopsand restaurants - really handy!
George
We loved staying at this cosy cottage. The peaceful, remote location meant we could really relax, just listening to birds and wildlife. The view of Pen y Fan from the hot tub was incredible! The kitchen had everything we neededand there was plenty of firewood for cosy evenings by the fire and in the hot tub. It’s super handy - just five minutes to a main road for exploring nearby spots. Perfect spot if you want to unwind away from the hustle. We’d definitely come back!

We had a lovely stay here! The cottage was super cosy and thoughtfully decorated, which made us feel right at home.

Really enjoyed staying here, the views are stunning and perfect for outdoor lovers.
Emma
We absolutely loved this place! The views are stunning and really took our breath away. The cottage had everything we needed and then some, making our stay very comfortable. The owners were super friendly and helpful. Charles, the adorable on-site cat, stole our hearts and added a special touch. Perfect location-close enough to amenities but peaceful enough to enjoy the countryside. Highly recommend!
Charlie
We had a lovely stay here! The place is super well-equipped and spotlessly clean. It feels quite secluded but is only a couple of minutes from the A40 and close to Sennybridge and Brecon. The views are stunningand the kids loved exploring the fields and spotting lambs. The internet worked well enough in the countryside. The only downside was the steep stairs, which might be tricky for some people. Overall, a great spot for a peaceful getaway!
Emma
We spent Christmas week here and really enjoyed it. The place is roomy, warmand super cosy with a lovely log fire. Decorated beautifully and the views are stunning. Owners are lovely too!
Emma
We absolutely loved the location of the property; it’s so peaceful, we could’ve happily sat on the veranda all day, just soaking in the view with a cuppa. The kitchen was really well-stocked, making it easy to prepare meals, plus little extras like cling film, sandwich bagsand kitchen roll made picnics simple. The beds were honestly the most comfy we’ve ever slept on away from home. Sally was lovely to communicate with before our stay, though we didn’t need to contact her during. Staying here was genuinely a pleasure!
Emma
Had a lovely time here! The owners really made us feel at home, super friendly and helpful. The place itself is kept in great shape and offers breathtaking views, perfect for relaxing. It's in a quiet spot but still close enough to explore the Brecon Beacons, local townsand walking spots easily. Definitely recommend!
Martin
The place is super peaceful, nestled in the countryside with stunning views of the Brecons. The hosts were really friendly and kept in touch through WhatsApp to check everything was fine. We'd definitely return; it’s a lovely spot to unwind!
Emma Collins
Our stay was truly lovely. The cottage offered stunning viewsand my partner especially enjoyed watching the sheep from the window. Sally was so welcoming and even took us to the farm, which my son adored, especially feeding the lambs. We’re already planning to return. Highly recommend for families with kids - a real gem!
