Our stay at Bwthyn Blaencar Stable Cottage was really enjoyable. We were welcomed with a minimum of fuss and the written directions to get there were detailed and correct . Dont be tempted just to use the postcode for Sat Nav- once close - switch to written details! There is a parking space by the farmhouse so you can unload easily on level grounRead mored. The cottage is warm and there was plenty of hot water - so we could soak / shower after a couple of long walks! The kitchen is well equipped - we ate / cooked there the whole of our stay and it lacked nothing from our point of view. The cottage is a great base for a couple wanting to explore the Brecon Beacons - Pen y Fan and the Four Waterfalls walk were spectacular for scenery. We also visited Brecon, Crickhowell and Abergavenny. This is a working farm with livestock - so there are barns and farm vehicles around. The view from one of the bedroom windows across the hills is uplifting! It was very peaceful and we had a relaxing time here. Highly recommended! Hide
