The kitchen includes an oven, hob, fridge, kettle and toaster. The modern bathroom has a full-size shower, basin and WC. A wood burner keeps things cosy.

Brecon Mountain Railway (25 miles, 40 minutes) offers scenic rides. Swansea (29 miles, 45 minutes) has museums, a castle and beaches. The town of Brecon is 15 minutes away.
