    Steve was an excellent and gracious host. He took good care of our party of 7, making arrangements for our dinner, packing our lunch, and even showing us the horses. Rooms were neat and tidy.

Just a short walk away for Llanwrtyd Wells, the home to Man V Horse, Bog Snorkelling, and many more whacky activities. There are plenty of lunch and dinner options from cafe's, pubs and restaurant. 2 grocery stores and a petrol station. Less than an hours drive away from the Brecon Beacons. Access to public transport - Heart of Wales line train & bus.
