“Nestled amid stunning mountainous scenery with the soothing sound of a stream nearby, this retreat offers comfortable, basic accommodation. I particularly noted the exceptional approachability of the owner, Sue, and the spacious apartments available for larger groups. Its location is a practical base for exploring Pen y Fan and the waterfalls.”
