Lovely location. Great for afternoon and evening sunshine. Property a little tired and info sheet could be updated.. still had details referring to Covid. We had an issue with acrid smoke coming from an external wood fired boiler. This was resolved by owners quickly by switching to the oil based heating system for the property, thank you.

The property is a great place to stay. The views are incredible from the door step. Obviously, it is a working farm so there are gates to open/close when arriving/leaving and the track is narrow. The location was great for what we wanted to do. The cottage was clean, warm and had most of the equipment you would need. I can image the outside area beRead moreing great if you get good weather to use it. The local villages/towns were pleasant. Hide

A great location for touring the Brecon Beacons area. Last few yards to the house un-tarmaced and potholed, not surprising for a farm, but probably unsuitable for very lowcars. The property has amazing views and dark skies. The drive up past fields of sheep, especially with spring lambs was wonderful. Comfortable beds and sitting room seating. The Read morerooms had efficient heating - loved the underfloor heating downstairs. Hide

Loved our stay at the Cynfin Old Cottage. Great farm location in the mountains of South Wales. Incredible view across the nearby Brecon valley and Tretower castle. Real honeymoon destination.
