Absolutely beautiful views from the house. Has everything you would need for a lovely stay; including comfortable beds, all the kitchenware, BBQ, outdoor seating and hot tub!! Very helpful host, clear communication and easy check in/out. If ever in the area again would definitely stay again!
Amy
I celebrated my 30th birthday here with my family and friends. It was absolutely every we could have hoped for. All the bedrooms are big with super comfy beds, and sooo many bathrooms! The kitchen, living room, and dining room were perfect for 12 people - not too crowded but not too big. And there is a hot tub that was already heated for our arrivaRead morel for an extra bonus!! We honestly had the best weekend here and would definitely stay again! Hide

Krishna
The cottage was perfect. Every detail was considered and the location is better than any property we have stayed in before. Special thanks goes to Adrian who looked after us completely; nothing was too much trouble. Safe to say we had a fantastic holiday in Gludy and will absolutely book again.
Helen
Had a lovely week. The view of Pen y Fan is amazing and cottage the best equipped of any I have stayed in.
Sean
This is a large house a couple of miles from Brecon, tucked down a narrow lane. The house is well equipped and very comfortable with a large kitchen, dining room and sitting room (with a great wood burner in it). The views of the mountains from the kitchen and back garden are spectacular. If you're not driving, you'll need a taxi or nominated drive r to get you to pubs and restaurants but overall a great place to stay for a large group. We'd certainly stay again.
Wendy
Fabulous property for our family gathering with loads of space for everyone to come together and also lots of activity space. Superb location with a different view of the Beacons every day as the weather changes. Stunning sun rise and sunsets from the hot tub.
Celia
Wonderful house in great position. Small children will need some attention as there are precious items.
