Disappointing

Breakfast was provided and it was a good location

The most uncomfortable sofa I’ve ever had the misfortune to sit on. Squeaky and uncomfortable bed, which had to be pushed up to the other single to make a double, but no room to walk around it. The bedside lamps didn’t work. The kitchen knife was broken. No personal touches to make the place feel homely or welcoming. Dirty shower head and wall fitting. Leaky taps. No oven. Glad we’d only booked a short stay and were out most of the time.

Weekend in Brecon for parkrun

Good location. Free parking. Breakfast foods provided. Toiletries provided.

Very basic, very tired. Needs a lot of TLC. Thin pillows and duvets. Sofa(bed) in lounge not comfy for sitting on and sleeping on.

6.0 / 10.0

Lots of good things but some drawbacks, With an upgrade of beds etc would be an excellent property.

Well situated, all facilities good and a very warm welcome from Gareth. Very good to have breakfast stuffs provided. Parking good.

The downside was the that the bed mattresses were poor to the point of feeling the springs, so not very comfortable. Equally the sofa was not good to relax on, and it too was poor. Minor things; the curtain pole in the bedroom was starting to detach from the wall. Not critical but no response to email.

Spacious, clean accommodation in central location

Own front door. Convenient location, walking distance to supermarket and pubs / restaurants. Excellent kitchen facilities which allowed you to comfortably self cater. Very Spacious, with 2 toilets. Option to sleep downstairs, although we didn't.

No freezer compartment. Mattresses and pillows could be better. Poor message replies / communication. Pub garden outside could be noisy with late night drinkers and there was an event on when we stayed which we weren't told about despite it being immediately outside our front door / bedroom window.

Useful self catering accommodation near Brecon centre. Requires more basic maintenance.

Excellent location - in walking distance of Brecon town centre, shops etc. Downstairs - plenty of space and good facilities for preparing food, washing up etc. TVs had full range of channels. Adequate space and table and chairs for eating and sitting to watch TV. Upstairs - good washing, bathing and shower facilities.

The toilet seats on both the ground floor and upper floor WCs had come away and were not properly fixed to the basin. It was very difficult for the user to keep either of the seats in position whilst using the WC. They require refitting as soon as possible. The mattresses on each bed were thin and provided inadequate support for the person trying to get to sleep.

2.0 / 10.0

Not a pleasant stay

The location was good for town centre and canal walks. There was a parking space.

The accommodation was shabby, grubby and needs some tlc. There was no blind at the half glass front door - only the bracket and pull cord of a blind that had once been there. In an attempt to cover this for privacy, we adapted a throw that was on the back of the sofa. Removal of said throw from the sofa revealed it's positioning - to cover the very worn and peeling material! The sofa itself was extremely uncomfortable, and we used the large cushions from the bedroom upstairs to make it tolerable. I used a facial wipe to clean black mould off the shower head and areas of the shower enclosure before I used it. The shower screen had no seal on the bottom - consequently, water escaped through the large gap between the screen and bath - pooling on the floor! On two of the stairs the carpet is loose- not stuck down - dangerous! You'd think this would be noticed when hoovering - if it ever is! Of the 3 different cereals left in the cupboard for continental breakfast- the 3 packets of Alpen were out of date. There was a bulb missing from the ceiling light downstairs. The accommodation is situated at the back of a pub - next to an outdoor area used by smokers. Lodge 1 that we occupied is the nearest to this area - and with it being a warm weekend, we had opened the window a little - but the smell of cigarette smoke was awful. It was also quite noisy on an evening from this outdoor pub area. The only hot water we had for our 2 night stay was the electric shower. When reported by text to the contact number in the information sheet early in the morning after our first night - no response. I text again in the afternoon and received a reply that it would be looked into once the guy returned from a family funeral. It was around 9pm when a guy came knocking at the door - we were in our pj's ready for bed and my husband told him that it didn't matter now. On looking at reviews, the water seems to have been an issue since September 2024!

Pleasant and enjoyable

Cleanliness, facilities and location. Fresh milk and bread provided for breakfast which was lovely. A genuine nice feel of the property and surroundings.

There was no hob/cooking rings which were advertised as being included. Also no hot water throughout our stay unless through the shower.

8.0 / 10.0

It was pleasant, convenient, clean and Gareth's swift responses to my queries was a great relief.

We liked the accommodation and were pleasantly surprised that we had ground floor and then 1st floor bedroom/bathroom - which was not obvious from the booking details. Also that coffee/tea and breakfast basics were included - so we would describe it as an Air BnB booking - which was a relief. Gareth was so helpful and pleasant when we had a query. I would certainly recommend it to others and visit again myself. I am in my 80s so do struggle with technology and did find your booking system rather confusing and managed it in the end but not without some anxiety...but all in all Myself and my friend were very satisfied.

Just your booking system - it did confuse me plus the details did not make it clear that sleeping accommodation was on the 1st floor - but that's a small matter! Also didn't realise until the eve of our departure that there is a Gremlin pub virtually next door - and I used to live nearby and had hardly noticed that - it may have made a difference with regard to us deciding whether or not to go out to eat or just have a pleasant drink in the Gremlin pub!

Great location, size and price

How close it was to the parkrun we visited. It was perfect for my friend and I, just the right size and very competitively priced.

There wasn’t much to dislike.

7.0 / 10.0

Beautiful location, ideal set up for local or further afield, dog friendly and self containing.

This venue offers an excellent location if using Brecon as a base, or for Brecon alone. It is practically on the river and has excellent access to various points of interest. The set up of the cottage is great and everything someone could need for a stay. The upstairs layout was convenient for our party, with a sizeable bathroom. The downstairs offers a useable kitchen, downstairs toilet, kitchen table with TV and sofa. There is good lighting outside the property which was useful as we had two dogs with us needing to use the facilities. *There was also a desk fan in the bedroom which was ideal. *Breakfast was nice though not diabetic friendly. Not a criticism because there is apparently an option to highlight this. I missed it. My guest enjoyed toast, tea and cereals. *Having a fridge is also handy for insulin.

At surface value our stay was what it needed to be. We have specific requirements for beds so were expecting them to be hard. Which they were. Though this is subjective. There were a few things that need attention - hairdryer in the upstairs bathroom. Toilet in the downstairs WC wouldn't flush. Odour from kitchen units. Nail clippings on the bedroom carpet. Futon in the living area is not really a sofa and for guests spending the whole day out walking you need somewhere with a touch more padding for ones extremities. The TV time was not in synch with actual time which was very strange and confusing. Again, we only spent an hour or so watching it but it should be updated. The parking area is used by, please excuse my assumption, pub staff. We were looking to leave the property late at night and manoeuvring was a nightmare.

Amazing stay in a lovely location

The property was lovely and has everything you needed. The breakfast items were a nice idea and Gareth our host was friendly and helpful. Lovely being so near the canal and cycle route. Would stay again

Only negative for us was the pillows on the bed were very flat but that’s it.

Needs doing up and new beds

Great location with parking and has a kitchenette.

Beds were horrendous, it was very tired looking and had cobwebs on light fittings, dog hairs on the sofa rug and the hairdryer was smashed.

6.0 / 10.0

Lovely location, quaint cottage. Pity about the lack of attention to detail.

The accommodation was in a very desirable area. The cottage was pleasant and safe off road parking.

The living room tv had very limited channels - no bbc or itv. The bedroom tv didn’t work on arrival but the landlord did manage to rectify this. There were ants in the living room when we arrived. The landlord did put some ant powder down, outside the door as a consequence and the cleaner did mop the floor but the ants were still present the next day. We asked for a double bed when requesting the accommodation. We got 2 single beds on arrival. We were going to push them together and move the side tables but noticed the old sweets and dust under the bed that would have been the area we’d be walking on, so we didn’t bother. Lastly, there was no hot water. We told the landlord, he had a go at fixing it, but it didn’t work. All these things add up and when you’re paying a decent amount of money to stay somewhere, it’s a bit irritating spending a fair bit of time trying to sort them out. Especially when they are not rectified.

Really clean, everything we could have needed, thank you. We arrived a little early, the staff were very accommodating, we were lucky to get the key as our cottage was ready for us 😃

Perfect little lodge for a young family getaway

Ideal location for exploring the beacons and easy reach for Cardiff for a day trip Was perfect amount of space for two adult and 22 month old. Very clean and comfortably warm and well presented.

It’s so minor not worth mentioning but our sofa latch to hold the back up was loose which made difficult to relax back on the sofa.

Great value and the location was great for exploring beautiful Brecon. Had a lovely weekend there with my sister. Handy breakfast cereals, loaf of bread, jam orange juice etc were supplied for breakfast which was a bonus. The pub next door was welcoming.

No complaints. Would stay again.

Excellent stay in Brecon!

Gareth was a very welcoming and hospitable host. We had everything we needed, and the dogs were also made very welcome. There was bread, milk, jams, butter, juice and cereals all laid on, and we loved that we could park next to the accommodation. There was outside seating available, and we were literally 50m from the canal and an open space with play park. Our son was being ordained in the cathedral this weekend, and this accommodation was ideal, as it was within walking distance of pretty much everything! We also loved the atmosphere coming from the Gremlin Hotel. It made us feel that we were on holiday abroad. Shops and pubs were within easy walking distance. Perfect, and would definitely come again. Thanks so much Gareth!

It was warm, but Gareth provided fans. So nothing really.

An OK stay

The breakfast was an added bonus and the access to free parking was really good. The heating was very good and we could bring our dog with us which was great.

The bed was quite lumpy so we did not sleep very well. The bath seal needs replacing as mould is clearly present and there are a few areas that need addressing e.g light switch in downstairs toilet is dirty and the sofa was not the most comfortable.
