Everything was perfect from beginning where we had everything explained by lovely host until the very last day. We enjoyed spending time in the cottage and will highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Brecon Beacons area. Great base for exploring, but same time it feels like home. It was 7 of us all together and we had more than enough space. Hot tub and big outdoor play area is a big bonus. Lovely, lovely place. Highly recommended x

Lovely cottage well equipped with all amenities you need for a home away from home . The guest was very proactive and comms were brilliant prior to our arrival and during our stay.

Great little break
Great service from the landlady, she was very warm, welcoming and lovely, made sure we had milk, tea and coffees upon arrival. The house had plenty of activities and games for adults and kids and the kids park is bigger than the picture shows, in fact the garden in general was a very generous space with all you would need including a top notch Hot tub. There isn't on site parking but there is free street parking litterally across the road 5 seconds from the front gate which we never struggled to find a space in. Overall I thought this place was perfect for what we needed (family break with kids) for its closeness to local amenities and natural parks and I would recommend and come back again. If we were to be overly critical (and not to take anything away from a great stay), I would say that the bed in the masters was very very noisy, im a light sleeper see.. So any slight bit of movement and the bed squeals. My wife slept through so can't be that bad I suppose? Many thanks for having us.

Great property for family gathering
This property is a bit of a tardis, larger on the inside. Great courtyard garden with seating and hot tub. Bedrooms spacious and over 2 floors. Lovely bathrooms. We were on the top floor and there was a bit of noise from the road and village hall but still slept ok. Well placed for zip world, Caerphilly and the coast. We had a great stay.

We had the most amazing break in 266. We were bowled over by how lovely the cottage was just delightful. It was so very clean and everything was covered, no stone unturned. We had everything we needed, Diane is the the most lovely host and even left us some complimentary cakes to enjoy. Diane was warm welcoming and just so very lovely. We cannot wait to go back. It’s a huge recommendation from me and my group.

Fabulously quirky haven with a big personality.
Out family of 4 had a throughly enjoyable break at this delightful, well equipped house. The rear outside space was so considerately designed, with total privacy. The wonderful hot tub was perfect for relaxing after long walks in the fantastic Brecon Beacons, and surrounding countryside. We came for the waterfalls and they didn’t disappoint, neither did the caves/dinosaurs/Shire horse excursion which proved to be another favourite day out. Our base was in such a good location to access so much of what this part of Wales has to offer. Diane, our amazing host, ensured we were well settled in, and couldn’t have been more welcoming. Her top tips of things to see and places to go, were most helpful. I would stress, particularly in the current climate, that tourist attractions need to be booked as far in advance as possible in order to ensure access. We missed out on some activities as there was no availability by the time we came to book. Entirely our fault! That said, there was still plenty to do, and sometimes all we wanted to do was to stay in and enjoy some quality family time.

We have had such a lovely stay at 266. Diane the host was so lovely and always texting to make sure we were ok and give us ideas on what to do, especially when it was raining. We visited two lots of waterfalls, the waterfalls at Glynnearh and Henrhyd Falls. Both beautiful but Henrhyd Falls was spectacular, you can even go behind the waterfall. We visited lots of beaches and had some amazing quality family time. The house was immaculate and so homely. Thank you so much for such a lovely holiday xxx

Great house to stay at for a girls trip
What an amazing welcome we had when we got there, Diane and her partner took us around the house to make sure we knew all that was needed for us to enjoy our weekend. She also supplied us with a lovely guide for the area while we stayed, which allowed us to the waterfall walk that wasn't far from the house. The house has a great outside area for relaxing and comfy living spaces. The house is like a home from home although my house doesn't have a hot tub 😍. I will definitely be booking Diane's home again.
