Excellent and private place to stay. Perfect for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Amazing decoration with real thought put into presentation and decor, whereby it's not just "let's ensure the minimum is there to maximise profitiability". Every ammenity has been considered and carefully selected and it really did feel like home from home. Cannot reccomend this place enough!

We stayed at Mabel Cottage just before Christmas to get away from the hustle and bustle and celebrate my wife’s birthday. To say that this cottage is beautiful would be an understatement. Roger and Debbie have created an incredible retreat in the perfect surroundings. They greeted us on arrival and showed us around and made us feel incredibly welcome. The hot tub was even nice and warm ready for us! Over the weekend we enjoyed cooking in the kitchen (we even purchased some fresh eggs from Roger and Debbie), relaxing in the hot tub and falling asleep on the sofa in front of the TV. We even went to see some of the local attractions around Brecon which was lovely. We can’t wait to come back, thank you once again!

Me and my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was exactly what I hoped for and more. I requested that a Christmas card which I had sent to the house and a bottle of bubbly was waiting for us on arrival; Debbie was very accommodating with this. Also, the hot tub was a really nice touch and we found it simple to use. Overall really friendly experience and I hope we can return.
