    It is a self catering holiday home surrounded by beautiful views of Brecon Beacon national park. Short drive from most of the trails in the national park as well as shopping centre and restaurants.

    Our only petty quibble was that we could not get the tv to work, but we were only there for 2 nights so didn1t need to watch it.

    The location was lovely and so was Gaynor. the bungalow was good clean and tidy.

    The place could have been a little more cleaner

    The owner is an amazing lady, she helped us with many questions regarding the public transport situation near the property. She was very kind to us and was always in touch when needed and also helped us drop off our luggage on the first day.

    There was a mix up with pet friendly stay. The only problem with the stay was the way the owner spoke to my partner and what she said about my dog was disgraceful

    The wifi didn’t work and that affected us a lot as we had to use our data plans. Our host tried her best to solve the problem but unfortunately it was not fixed as she couldn’t get anyone from the company to check in the weekend.

    The host was excellent. She is such a wonderful lady who tried her best to make our stay very comfortable. Since we didn’t have a car to drive to the town for meals and groceries, she actually offered to drive us there n pick us up. We really appreciated her kind gesture. The place was clean n and extremely quiet. The mountain view was breathtaking. It was the unobstructed view that is simply unforgettable.

    The apartment could have done with a clean before arriving because there were signs of bugs and cobwebs in places.

    Great location to explore the Brecon Beacons. Modern apartment with secure parking and extremely quiet in a residential area guaranteeing a great nights sleep. Effective heating and hot water so the place stayed warm during our stay.

    It was not for us. There were some issues with cleanliness of cupboards and dishes. The shower leaked and left a pool of water between lounge and bathroom. Owner acknowledged the issues but was initially unwilling to compensate us in any way and was actually quite rude to us. Booking was reduced from 2 to 1 night in the end, by when we’d decided the situation was too unpleasant to stay at all.

    Secure place to store bikes, proximity to Bike Park Wales.
