This is such a comfortable and luxurious place to stay. Really well equipped including robes and towels for the hot tub, and very dog friendly too. We had a great week despite a lot of rain. It's a good base for walking, waterfalls, Brecon Beacons, and beaches. Owner on hand next door if you have any questions. We'll be back!

This is a very comfortable and well equipped property which is in a very good location to explore the Brecon Beacons, the Gower peninsula and the rest of south central Wales. Steve, the owner who lives in the adjoining property, is very attentive, friendly and extremely helpful. We would certainly recommend this cottage.
