 Verified Beautiful location with stunning views of the Welsh countryside. Roger & Debbie have put a lot of love and effort into working on the farm and the surrounding land, so it's well worth exploring the features there and making the most of the local produce. Mable cottage was very roomy inside and there is everything you need to have a cozy weekend away - the hot tub on the deck was perfect. Would recommend getting all your shopping before arrival so you don't have to head back out, as we did find it a bit tricky being so far away from bigger shops and navigating the single track road, but it's also to be expected when you're out in the countryside.

 Verified Absolutely loved our stay at Debbie and Roger’s cottage! Lovely touch that they great you at check in and show you round the place. It was beautiful inside and out. The cottage was pristine with gorgeous views and so peaceful! We loved relaxing in the hot tub whilst stargazing and enjoyed drinks on the private terrace whilst chilling in the evening. We wish we could have gone for longer so will definitely be back☺️

 Verified We had a wonderful stay at Mabel cottage, surrounded by beautiful scenery. The cottage felt very secluded and the hot tub was lovely. The town of Brecon was about 25 min drive away, but there was also a nice circuit on the site for a walk. Debbie and Roger were very friendly and on hand if there was anything we needed. Thank you for a lovely stay!
