I planned my peaceful escape in Brecon here and could not have been more WRONG about this place. The room was shabby and pokey and the other guests argued constantly. The INTRUSIVE HOST forced his way into my small living space whilst throwing accusations around regarding a supposed altercation with a man. The CREEPY HOST set about searching my private area and was unsuccessful in his quest for other guests as I had spent the whole trip there alone. I did not receive any apology for the invasion of my privacy, personal space or being called a LIAR. Subsequently, I left the premises although I had paid for extra nights . I felt insulted , threatened and most importantly, unsafe. I would’ve been in better hands at FAULTY TOWERS !!!

Easy stay, good, clean and well managed. Comms were excellent and highly detailed making pre/stay/exit very easy. Location very close in driving distances to the mountains and the local amenities in Merthyr. All highly recommended.

Stayed for one night in line with work and had everything I required. Nice studio flat, much better and more homely than a hotel room… Information provided re places to visit, where to eat was very good, but I can say that the New Dolphin fish and chips shop just down the road (1 min walk) was lovely.
