  Well you couldn't wish for a warmer welcome from Theresa, John and family to Old Well Bungalow.

  Lovely spacious and light filled Bungalow, nicely furnished and with every you could want for a holiday retreat in a peaceful location. The welcome pack of Welsh cakes, bread, milk, butter and jam etc was much appreciated. Would I recommend Old Well Bungalow to others? A definite YES and would I go back, again a YES (although I might take my own pillows as found those supplies were quite hard - but appreciate this is a personal choice). Ideal location for visiting the many wonderful sites within that part of Wales (recommend St Fagan National Museum of History (& apart from a £6 parking fee its free to get in) and Raglan Castle. If you visit Caerphilly Castle beware of the Pigeon Poo on the handrails and also there is a lot of construction work taking place , so a lot of the castle is off limits, including the toilets and there are no nearby public toilets. Also Sykes descriptions states there is a freezer, but this is not a stand alone freezer, but rather a small freezer/ice box in the fridge, although this was not a problem for us. One of the nicest Sykes cottages we have stayed in and a credit to Theresa & John.

  Kooky cottage was such a great find!

  We stayed for 4 nights beginning of this month (August) and didn't want to leave. The cottage was very cosy and comfortable with a whole lot of character. Owner has thought about, and supplied everything you could need for your stay. We found the cottage very clean and all linens, towels etc clean and fresh. Lovely decor also! Added bonus of a sofa bed which was handy too. Table and seating available to sit outside also, we didn't use them but was good to know we had the option. The stairs are steep, of varying sizes, and ceiling above them is low but with time and care they're fine to navigate!...this just adds to the character and charm though, it is a 1850s property! Great location very quiet street, easy to walk into the centre of Brecon. Street parking available in front of property, not a lot of room but we had no issues thankfully. We really enjoyed our time here and would love to visit again. Will recommend to friends and family!

  Lovely stay, weather was kind to us with only one rainy day.

  Great location close to beaches and shops. Clean and welcoming when we arrived with milk, bacon, bread, butter etc. provided and nice addition of bath robes and slippers. Secure garden for our dog who loved the beaches at Rest Bay and Newton which are dog friendly (although people were taking dogs on Sandy Beach and Trecco Bay we mainly stuck to the rules except on last day we tried the edge of Sandy Bay early in the day as was too hot to walk too far for the dog). Lovely garden furniture to sit outside both front and back. Was a damp smell in main bedroom which I think is caused by the above flat, as when they empty (I assume) the bath the water comes out all over the graveled area outside the patio doors not all down the drain leaving the area very wet. Also the flat above does cause a lot of noise as can hear footsteps all the time and their washing machine made the lights rattle in the living area.

  A beautiful secluded holiday home with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

  The scenery through the beacons is breath taking, and the same goes for the working farm you arrive at. The owners met us on arrival with some extra towels and bits then left us too our own devices. They offered us the opportunity to go and feed the lambs which I thought was lovely as you can see they are always so busy but we didn't want to intrude on this stay. Maybe next time, as we will book this place again! The holiday home is perfectly sized for a few days/ weeks stay but I will state to make sure that you take everything you'll think you'll need as the shop is not just round the corner- to us this was part the fun... though forgetting the milk didn't go down well! If you want romance, peace and beautiful scenery then this place is a must.

  The cosiest cabin in the most stunning location.

  If peace and tranquility is what you're after then you must book to stay here. You truly are in the middle of nowhere with the closest shop around half an hour away. The host - Brian - was so friendly and attentive and after welcoming us on our first day, left us to enjoy our surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful local hikes/walks that kept us busy throughout the week, followed each day by a long soak in the hot tub which was a real treat. This property has EVERYTHING you could think of needing. The owners really have thought of every, single little detail. We had the most fantastic week and feel so grateful to have found this hidden treasure. Thank you for the most wonderful stay!
