Beautiful location

A lovely spot in the Welsh countryside. Great views and nearby walks across the fields to the valley. We did find the driveway a bit difficult in our hire car that did not have a lot of clearance, so once we had unloaded luggage we left the car down the driveway and walked in and out of the property.

Beautiful, stylish, well equipped hideaway in the Brecons

We loved our stay at Holly Tree and we super comfortable there. The cottage is stylishly decorated and very well equipped, with a glorious view of the Brecon area. We warmly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful hideaway from the world for a short while.

Lovely cottage, amazing location, couple of issues.

We had an amazing stay at this cottage for a few days of walking the Brecon Beacons. Cottage has everything needed, is in a great location for walking and has an amazing pub ‘Royal Oak’ with superb food in easy walking distance. Pity about the issue with the heating and TV didn’t work, but these were minor issues compared to the great cottage. Thank you Richard

Perfect base for exploring the Brecon Beacons.

We had a wonderful time at this property, all our needs were catered for. The views are fantastic and the children loved watching the sheep as the farmer moved them from field to field. We would highly recommend this rental.

Brilliantly located cosy cottage

A brilliantly-located, peaceful, and well-equipped cottage. Equally good for long days walking in the hills or for activities to do with young children. The beds are comfy, the kitchen is well equipped, it's all great! Be sure to check out the incredible grove of ancient yew trees in the nearby churchyard !

Lovely cottage - even better than the photos

Had a wonderful stay at Jonathan's cottage with my partner and our toddler. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very well-equipped - all the stuff is good quality too. The lounge is really cosy, esp with the log fire burning, wifi is great and you have great views across the area. An excellent hiking base - we didn't want to leave.

Cosy stay in the Brecon Beacons

This is a cosy property on farmland in the Brecon Beacons with good access to the surrounding areas. We used it as a base for the Hay Festival and exploring other attractions. Pub in the village and plenty of walks. Property is clean with everything you need. Outdoor space being on a steep incline, however, not great for younger children.

So peaceful

We really enjoyed our stay in this well equipped cottage. It has everything you need for a great holiday. It is extremely clean and has plenty of hot water. The views of the surrounding area are stunning. We especially enjoyed the peace and quiet which made sleeping so easy. There are several walking trails nearby. This is a beautiful area of Wales and we would recommend this cottage.

Great short break

A lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country. It is really well equipped (not something you find in all holiday properties)A nice surprise to find some wine waiting for us on the kitchen table. There are some good walks from the front door. Jonathann was very helpfulwhen we had to contact him. Would thoroughly reccommend this cottage.

Peaceful and relaxing and lots of walking

We had 11 nights in the beautiful Brecon beacons in Holly cottage and couldn't fault it we did lots of walking from the door and managed to find waterfalls to cool off in in the sweltering heat. The cottage is in a lovely part of the Brecon beacons 500m pleasant stroll from the canal and village of Pencelli. The cottage was lovely and cool to return to after a days walking in the mountains in 30c heat and it had everything you needed for self-catering and the added bonus of a canal side pub 500m away menu there was limited but the fact that your literally on the canal made up for that. The directions given for check in and communication where all perfect. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

A lovely cottage for a stay in Brecon Beacons

A lovely little cottage that had everything you need. We stayed with our two young children. We would definitely stay again and would recommend it, but we have two areas that weren't perfect. Getting the boiler just right took a while. There wasnt enough hot water on our first night, so the kids ended up with a tepid bath and theln in trying to sort that out we set the boiler to come on early in the morning so we could have hot showers - the boiler is noisy and so woke us up very early. After the first night we got the balance sorted and it worked perfectly - perhaps worth speaking with the owner ahead of your trip to make sure everything is right for your first night. Our second issue was with access to the parking, its up a very steep slope off a narrow lane. We have a very long estate car, which made it difficult to access the parking (wheels were spinning on the concrete after rain). We did manage to get in each time, but it was tricky. I imagine with a shorter car it would have worked better, as the angles would be easier. Equally a 4x4 would easily do it. Despite those negatives it was a great place to stay and the communication i had with the owner was very friendly and helpful.

Amazing location and cottage - home away from home

We've been coming to Wales nearly every year with the kids since they were born and this is by far our most favourite cottage. If you like walking, you can't beat this location. My husband enjoyed doing his morning runs following the walking path that literally goes past the front door and takes you all the way to Fan Y big - if you want! The kids (aged 7 and 4) really enjoyed exploring forests, streams, and waterfalls and even managed a few hills. The cottage is not only well equipped but has lots of 'home' touches like hot water bottles, a washer dryer (perfect for sorting out muddy kids clothes) and Netflix (a big relief for keeping the kids amused in the evenings). The nearby town of Brecon has everything you need if you fancy a little shop - and yes we got dragged into a toy shop but we also bought farm eggs and welsh lamb. You get it - we loved it. And, just to add, we personally found no issue with the car park, which literrelly was just a few footsteps away from the cottage itself. Have I mentioned the amazing views from the master bedroom? I think this was my highlight - waking up each morning to a breathtaking view of sunrise of brecons from the comfort of my bed on full view through the amazing windows was breathtaking and truly wonderful . I would highly reccomend this cottage to friends and family without hesitation. And, we really hope to come back very soon! Thank you - it was one of our best trips and we've come home with lots of love for the Brecons and their unique spledour.
