Reviews

Sarah 8/10
United Kingdom πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Pros: The staff were friendly. The breakfast was fantastic. The room was good value for money

Cons: The carpark could do with some lighting. Very hard to park in the dark when you first arrive. There is a bit of a drop on one side so could be dangerous. Silly thing really but an additional stool in the rowen room would have been good rather than just one.

Fantastic value for money, great family vibes and very friendly staff.

Pros: Exceptionally clean property with great amenities for all ages. It was lovely to be able to read the history of the property and YHA on entry. The layout was excellent and rooms were spacious.

Cons: More car park spaces would make the venue more practical. However I can understand that due to location this may not be possible. More lighting could be added to the outdoor areas especially the entrance road as the sensory lights are not bright enough at night.

My boy's first snowy play day, at the foothills of Pen y Fan!

Ralph 8/10
United Kingdom πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Pros: Good stay overall. The pods were comfortable and cozy, making it a nice place to rest after a day out in the Brecon Beacons. The site is well kept and peaceful.

Cons: The only downside is that the toilets are a bit far from some of the pods, and the parking area is also quite a walk away, which can be inconvenient when carrying bags. Still, a good place to stay if you don’t mind a short walk.

Staff and location was amazing.

Pros: Perfect location and a beautiful property for a large group of us with children. The deputy manager was exceptional and did everything to make our stay comfortable. All staff were amazing. Great value for money and self catering kitchen was great for our large group.

Cons: There was nothing that I didn’t like about the property.
