Unique little cottage in ideal location. We had the best night sleep ever on a holiday, due to the double glazed, well fitted windows, the firm but comfortable mattress and the not too hot covers for the time of year.I was impressed, how well my special requests (because of various medical conditions) were taken into account! The Manager is living next door and the owners are Professionals. A toilet upstairs and downstairs was very useful! We did not know how the "Free Breakfast" would work on six nights. Now we realise that the items are left in the kitchen on arrival and if more is needed during the stay you can ask for it
Somewhere in the accommodation description a cooker top is mentioned and the user manual is there, but there is only a microwave. The crockery is limited but very clean! However, with a bit of thought we managed, without ready meals or takeaways and had a lovely holiday!

Basic but lovely little cottage . Milk(full 4 pints semi skimmed in fridge), full sized carton of orange juice, tea, coffee, butter, jams, cereals for breakfast. GF bread and cereals supplied by Gareth. Microwave there if needed, also toaster and kettle. Bed comfy. 2 singles in ours. Pillows perfect for me. Toilet in bathroom and also downstairs. Shampoo and shower gel in bathroom and plenty of hand wash. Sofa bed and fold up bed downstairs would make it ideal for a family or friends to stay. If weather is very hot (on the few odd days of the year ) I would take a fan for upstairs (though there may be one available if asked-we didn’t need one but the weather wasn’t hot when we stayed. Location excellent-supermarket next door and just 5 minute walk to centre of Brecon and restaurants along the way. Pub few steps away through the car park with reasonable prices, friendly staff and locals and an excellent jukebox. Close to amenities and sightseeing spots in Brecon. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend as a place to stay if visiting Brecon and area.
The turn into the car park was really tight but car park itself had enough room for turning and parking.

Gareth was a very welcoming and hospitable host. We had everything we needed, and the dogs were also made very welcome. There was bread, milk, jams, butter, juice and cereals all laid on, and we loved that we could park next to the accommodation. There was outside seating available, and we were literally 50m from the canal and an open space with play park. Our son was being ordained in the cathedral this weekend, and this accommodation was ideal, as it was within walking distance of pretty much everything! We also loved the atmosphere coming from the Gremlin Hotel. It made us feel that we were on holiday abroad. Shops and pubs were within easy walking distance. Perfect, and would definitely come again. Thanks so much Gareth!
It was warm, but Gareth provided fans. So nothing really.

Great little cottage in perfect location with free parking. Very cosy. Nice to have two toilets and a hot bath as well as a shower. Kitchen facilities perfectly adequate with toaster, kettle and hob. Dogs werre made very welcome in the cottage as well as in the pub! Very good value for money in Brecon.
Shower was tepid and the sofa uncomfortable but we managed fine.

This was our second year in a row of staying. The fact we booked a second time in my opinion shows how great this place is. Really good situation. So close to the town and local Amenities. The accommodation is really comfortable. The kitchen set up is ideal for easy self catering meals.
The downside is the shower is tricky. Temperature regulation very difficult and the sofa isn’t best comfortable.

The location is very central, near a supermarket. The place is well equipped, with everything you need to cook and spend a couple of nights. From this place it's very easy to move around Brecon Beacons attractions. There are also some nice walks to do from the place (the canal is just a few meters from the property).
The room was a bit dirty (some dust under the beds). It was a little bit tricky to enter with the car, as the entrance is just after a small roundabout (I missed it the first time as I got there after dusk).

The Market Town of Brecon is beautiful, lots of things to see, within a short drive and walking distance to some attractions. Some lovely independent shops, cafes within Brecon itself. People were welcoming and friendly.
Not a great variety of Restaurants in Brecon. Missing an Italian, Greek etc or a restaurant that isn't just Pub Food. There were some Indian/Asian restaurants, but these do not cater well for children.

Ideal location for exploring the beacons and easy reach for Cardiff for a day trip Was perfect amount of space for two adult and 22 month old. Very clean and comfortably warm and well presented.
It’s so minor not worth mentioning but our sofa latch to hold the back up was loose which made difficult to relax back on the sofa.

Perfect get away cottage - all you need essentials were provided and great supply of breakfast cereals, a loaf of bread, butter and jam, tea/coffee along with Milk in the fridge waiting for us when we arrived. Local shops, restaurants and bars in easy walking distance and beautiful river to walk along nearby.
Could not fault it

Very quiet, yet very near town and nature walks. Aldi around the corner. Beds very comfy and covers not too hot.Two toilets. Basic food there on arrival. Various busses go to Brecon. Brecon is a small historic town.
