    It was a perfect base for our exploration of the area. A warm and cosy cottage with everything we needed. Beautiful bedding and quiet surroundings ensured us all a sound night's sleep. We loved the local walks and the stunning scenery. We would love to visit Brecon again and wouldn't look to stay anywhere other than Barn Cottage.

    I didn't like the bathroom being downstairs and the road and track into the farm.

    I liked the space. It was a relaxing and quiet place to stay. The bed and bedding were lovely. I liked the log burner for cool evenings and the laundry room was well equipped and easy to use.

    There were a few spots in the living room that I could tell needed dusting off.

    It didn’t have the working farm feel to it that I was expecting. I think we only see a few horses at most. A lot of the information shared was quite out of date.

    It felt like home from home. Even though there were others staying near by it was so peaceful. It was a beautiful location and felt so relaxed.

    We really enjoyed our stay. Hugh provided extensive instructions on how to find the cottage and what to expect on arrival. When we arrived, the cottage was ready and lovely and warm, ready for us to stay. On the table, there were some tea, coffee etc, and also the really nice extras, like a little bottle of milk in the fridge and some Welsh cakes which te kids really enjoyed. I liked the information on the cottage and the sustainability initiatives, there was a lot of thought into the welcome pack and what to include. The beds were lovely and comfy, the living area was perfectly laid out, with a nice selection of games and books. The kitchen was also well equipped. We enjoyed the view from the top fields in the farm when we had a wonder too. Absolutely lovely and relaxing- just what we wanted. The location of the cottage was great for walks in Brecon so was ideal for us.

    I know it’s hard because of where it’s positioned but the toiled was very damp!maybe if the earth was dug out behind it it may help to keep the damp out! Other thing was the wooded toilet seat,could do with replacing and maybe with a plastic one as more hygienic.especially as it had a split and was peeling underneath from use.didn’t enjoy using the bathroom!

    Lovely cosy cottage had everything there we needed!

    Beautiful, comfy cottage in an incredible location! Despite the cold weather, the cottage was very warm and cosy and we had a wonderful time playing board games (supplied by the property) by the fire. The bed was incredibly comfortable and overall the facilities exceeded our expectations. The location is so beautiful - it was just the peace and quiet we were looking for! Would certainly return!

    Loved it all

    We love the cottage, everything is luxury, they have really thought about comfort and people coming together. The facilities are really good, location is very ideal. We did a beacon trail, they had some books there to look in and found some great ideas. The hosts were there and soo friendly beautiful horses, lovely dogs too. The stars outside are amazing we also went in a full moon. Cottage was cozy and warm.
