Superb location and property. Lovely local walks and easy access to other destinations in the Brecons.One suggestion would be an outdoor hose to wash dogs before entering the house after a muddy walk😁

Our 3rd stay and always excellent! Two improvements: for the first time the wood supplied wasn’t seasoned and so we couldn’t enjoy a roaring open fire unfortunately. Only other feedback is that there’s a problem with the security lights which kept coming on and off all night. I would suggest turning them off when guests are present as some of us had to go and buy eye masks in order to sleep. In a dark sky area it was really disappointing and would be a deal breaker on booking again if it wasn’t sorted out.
