The cottage was beautiful inside and out. It was impeccably clean with lots of cleaning products available as well. Each bathroom had an amazing smelling hand-wash from the local shops. There are some beautiful walks nearby with beautiful views. We loved every second of our stay.

Lovely, comfortable cottage. Close to the beautiful town of Hay-on-Wye and the many activities that the Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons, River Wye and the Brecon canal have to offer.
