    Nothing! It was amazing!

    Peaceful with stunning views. The finish on the cottage was incredible. And all the little details had been thought of.

    Everything, the finishes of the barn are outstanding with excellent utilities. The views of the Brecon Beacons are outstanding, I was worried I would be cold but it was really warm with the heating locked on a comfortable temperature which was perfect. I recommend getting up early making a pot of tea and watching the sun rise over the mountain line, you won’t regret it 🙏😁

    We received 8 pages of instructions on how to check in/check out/manage the rubbish/things to do and not to do... which was quite daunting! Perhaps these could be thinned out a bit to make it more digestible and the 'must dos' could be separated from the recommendations ang guides - just a suggestion and would still go back even with the 8 pages of instructions :)

    The house is just fantastic and has been done up really well. It is extremely well equipped and we really enjoyed going through what others (spices, pasta, oil, etc) had left in the cupboards to see what we could find! It's in a very rural and quite far from the closest village, really making it feel tranquil and isolated, just what we were after. Our host recommended a few walks in the area, which we enjoyed as well. We would absolutely go back, thanks Jon for having us

    Perfect place with a stunning view, quietly situated in the fileds. The house is nicely decorated, very comfortable, and spacious for a family. Jon sent detailed and helpful information before the stay. Perfect for hiking in the national park or visiting the towns around.

    The cutlery was rusty and some plates had cracks and big chips. Would be great to have a shelf in the shower.

    Spacious and full of light. Very modern and nordic style design of the space. Plenty of workspaces to cook, eat and enjoy. The patio was great for a warm day evening. You're in the middle of nowhere, hence it's quiet and not busy. Very scenic view straight from the doorstep. Great base camp to explore the Brecon Beacons.

    The minor gripes I had were discussed with the host who promised to rectify them. I believe it was a temporary blip and it should not put off other visitors.

    Almost excellent. The host was charming and the location was excellent. We had a lovely time and I would stay again.

    everything was great about the property itself and it is certainly maintained very well. The only downside is that the nearest town does not have a lively center neither we could find a gastropub within 10 min drive.

    it is a very lovely cottage with astonishing view. very clean and feels very homely. There is also a patio in the back of the property with access to a shared communal yard/garden.

    Just make sure you have everything you need before you get there as it is very rural.

    Beautiful rural location. House was spotless and well equipped. Could be tricky to find but the owner provided detailed instructions. Great showers and plenty of hot water. Would definitely stay again.

    No milk left, and as a very remore location at least a 5 minute drive to get some. no matching sets of 4 nice glasses or 4 coffee mugs with handles (gorgeous champagne glasses though). The second bedroom as well as an additional single bed also had a cot, high chair, and locked chest, not shown in the photo

    Amazing views, pretty garden to sit in

    Single bed (temporary) was a little small for a teenager. Windows could have done with a clean on the outside. A broom would have been helpful. Not clear where the BBQ was.

    The view and location were amazing. The barn is very big and spacious. Showers were really good with lots of hot water. Clean.
