Reviews

this cottage is perfect, exactly what i needed. well equipped, clean and comfortable. lovely bed. great rural location central for Brecon Beacons. Very helpful owner Carole next door. this is a working farm and they were lambing in the barns but I had no problems with noise. Would definitely recommend.

Mr T,

Our stay at Bwthyn Blaencar Stable Cottage was really enjoyable. We were welcomed with a minimum of fuss and the written directions to get there were detailed and correct …. Don’t be tempted just to use the postcode for Sat Nav- once close - switch to written details! There is a parking space by the farmhouse so you can unload easily on level ground. The cottage is warm and there was plenty of hot water - so we could soak / shower after a couple of long walks! The kitchen is well equipped - we ate / cooked there the whole of our stay and it lacked nothing from our point of view. The cottage is a great base for a couple wanting to explore the Brecon Beacons - Pen y Fan and the Four Waterfalls walk were spectacular for scenery. We also visited Brecon, Crickhowell and Abergavenny. This is a working farm with livestock - so there are barns and farm vehicles around. The view from one of the bedroom windows across the hills is uplifting! It was very peaceful and we had a relaxing time here. Highly recommended!

Mrs A,

This is a beautiful cottage on a working farm in a very peaceful location. Perfect to escape to!

Mrs T,

We enjoyed a very relaxing 8 nights at Bwthyn Blaencar cottage. The cottage was immaculately clean and the hosts Carol and Geoff were gracious and kind. It was a very peaceful week in a beautiful setting. We loved every minute of our stay. Highly recommend.

Mrs M,

Absolutely superb in every respect!

Mr Barry T,
