Upstairs, there is a spacious double bedroom with radio and two, single bedrooms plus bathroom with bath and shower over.

“Beautiful location, totally peaceful and cosy cottage”

Reviewed 15 Aug 2020

I had a very relaxing stay with my Autistic son and partner. The cottage was very cosy with the most beautiful outlook across a wooded valley - the silence was wonderful, as was the star gazing, heat lightening and owls gently hooting. Lesley was an excellent host, and so glad she recommended wild swimming at Llyn Y Fan Fach which was very welcomed on such a hot day! I look forward to returning in the winter to enjoy the woodburner and cooler walks. Thank you Lesley.

“Lovely cottage in a lovely location”

Reviewed 19 Feb 2018

As part of my 50th birthday bucket list, one of the things to do this year was to climb pen y fan. This cottage is about 30 mins drive away and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. When we arrived Lesley met us and showed us around, leaving fresh bread, eggs and numerous other groceries to get us settled in. There are plenty of walks right on your doorstep and our boxer dog instantly fell in love with her new surroundings. After a long day climbing mountains, the wood burner was most welcome. Unfortunately due to a family emergency we had to leave earlier than expected. Lesley was amazingly helpful and we can't thank her enough for everything she did. A fabulous place to stay and truly relax.
