Ty Twmp / Tump Cottage Reviews

Richard
Great views. Nice and warm in sun room. Water supply a bit erratic. TV could be a bit bigger to enjoy all the DVDs on offer.
My friends and I stayed at Tump Cottage for a few nights and we were very satisfied. It was easy to find, access was simple, but more importantly, the views were incredible. Nestled on a hill side overlooking the River Usk with a conservatory to look out of and gaze at the stars. The cottage was lovely and cozy, plenty of space for us to relax in the evenings. We had everything we needed for our stay, incl some delicious Welsh cakes, kindly left for us by the owner. There was plenty of books and leaflets about the surrounding area for us to read and use if required. We all agreed the cottage was perfect and would love to book again in the future. A stunning cottage in a perfect location with all you would need for a short or long visit. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay in a lovely once lived in family home, I look forward to visiting again in the near future. Mark Gypps

My friends and I group of six stayed here for a little staycation. The location is perfect, situated right next to Brecon Beacons, allowing us to easily drive to Penyfan and the the Four Falls trail. The host also had an exceptional selection of movies to chose from we chose Inception! to keep us entertained. Though we didn't use it, there were also some board games at the cottage, which I think is a great addition. The only bit of constructive feedback I'd give and this is a very small point is that it would be nice if the TV was bigger but at the end of the day we chose this cottage to enjoy the nature surrounding it!
The cottage was almost perfect, the view over the valley, location. Confortable, private, breakfast in the conserfatory, fast wifi, beds, etc. Only the hollow road for acces, limited us for easely going out. Highly recommended for a weeks over.
Nishant
My friends and I really enjoyed our 4 nights stay at the cottage. It is right in the middle of nature and offers a peaceful stay with beautful views of the Brecon mountains. I highly recommend the cottage to people who are looking for a stay in the Brecon Beacons.
We had a lovely stay. A cost cottage in a beautiful remote location with stunning views. It's an amazing area for walks and most of them very quiet. We didn't notice the lack of a washing machine in the listing but managed without for the week.
Adrian
Very relaxing stay near to the Brecon Beacons with the extension to the cottage providing a sun trap to enjoy the valley views. Talybont canal waterway offers a pleasant walk nearby.
Victoria
We had a lovely stay in your very comfortable cottage. We had everything we needed. The view was utterly stunning and we woke up to a cloud inversion on two mornings. Thank you very much.
The cottage was very good and the views spectacular. Only thing is it should be stated is that the access is up a very steep and narrow road. The toilet seat needs looked at it kept coming loose. The extractor fan in the toilet was noisy after a few minutes.
Catherine
We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was comfortable, nicely furnished, had everything we needed. The conservatory with views east over the valley was especially appreciated, and the lawn in the garden. We also were very glad that the cottage stayed cool during some very hot days! A great area for walking the Taff trail, the 'Alt', the walks from the top of the reservoirs up the valleys towards Pen y Fan etc. Talybont a nice little town, useful post officecafeshop and the Star Inn did very good meals.
Stacey
A wonderful break! Stars, views and tranquility. Our car broke down while we were there and the host was accommodating and very helpful. We tried to book again this year but the dates had been taken. A lovely place to stay!
Lovely place and very nice staff. We'd definitely stay again!
Angela
Excellent cottage, with the conservatory overlooking a wonderful view which made it outstanding.
Very clean and well maintained, the view from the house is great. Would recommend!
Natalia
Wonderful cottage ! We stayed in the cottage for 2 weeks and enjoyed every minute being there . The cottage is very comfortable , clean and cosy . The conservatory is amazing , the view from there could not be better ! So this place is simply perfect for a relaxing , peaceful holiday . We will come back with no hesitation . Thank you !
We really enjoyed the stay, great remote location up a steep hill from the village with a couple of pubs. Some of the furniture is a little dated but it's warm, clean, comfortable and has a decent shower, and as its an outdoor activities location which is frequently wet and muddy you do not really want to stay in a 'showhome'. The only bugbears were no dishwasher I loathe washing up each time! and no outside tap for washing muddy things down. Will we return highly likely.

First time having a holiday in cottage, and what an amazing experience! The cottage was nice and clean, everything needed plus more was provided. I would definitely come back here when possible.
