The Carthouse is in a lovely hamlet, very well provisioned with all that you need. The hosts Nigel and Caroline are super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The peace and quiet is extraordinary including the wildlife being a constant source of wonder. It is quite remote however once you get your bearings it is perfect. Highly recommended.

It suited us so well as you had a kitchen, living area with a wood burner, bedroom and parking space. Each day we drove out to different areas and activities in the Brecon beacons.

We had a brilliant few days in The Carthouse. It was comfortable and clean and the aircon/heater worked well after I had unwittingly messed-up the controls!!Nigel and Caroline are the most amazing people who have had a very varied and interesting life. Their fostering work is truly admirable…what a couple! Film stars too!!The area is very quiet and the countryside truly stunning…we should have come when we were younger and scaled a few of the many hills and mountains nearby!As it was..we visited several nice pubs and the highlight was The Bear in Crickhowell…really excellent for atmosphere and food.Hopefully we shall return to this lovely part of Wales one day.
