Tony
My home is in a very quiet part of Brecon town and would Ideally suit guests that are looking to explore the local area and like visiting local eateries and returning home for a great night's sleep and awake and enjoy a lovely Welsh breakfast and chill out. We are not suited to guests that like to stay out very late or attend wedding parties that wish to return back to my home late as we find this has an impact on other guests staying with us. Thank you greatly for your consideration Tony has a wealth of local knowledge and I am one of the few Brecon Beacons ambassadors of the national park and trained to give advice. I have more than 30 years of helping guests enjoy the time spent in the area. I have a very sweet dog called ~Alys after my grandmother. She loves to say hi to our lovely guests but don't if you are not into dogs, she keeps out of your way and never goes up to the first floor.
I will do my very best to make your break or business trip enjoyable. With 30 years in hosting guests I am always on hand to give the best places to visit.
Brecon and the 500 sq miles of National park has everthing you could wish to do, together with eating places, famous landmarks together with museums, and theatre's
