I lived in Boleyn House for five weeks while completing my PhD thesis between July and August 2015. This wonderful Brecon bolthole was the perfect place in which to get intensive, brain-draining writing done. It was roomy and yet still cosy, very well equipped but minimum maintenance, central to everything in town yet still mostly quiet. Lis and Ian were wonderful hosts and kept the property in fantastically clean and stylish for our arrival. They met us at the bus station, gave us a comprehensive run-down on what activities and facilities were available in Brecon. And even provided Welsh cakes and wine too! The kitchen is always my engine room and the one at Boleyn House did not disappoint. The gas stove top and oven were fabulous for cooking and baking. The bathroom was well appointed with a lovely deep bath, excellent shower rose, and a terrific reliable hot water system. We had course to use the heater on one or two cold nights and it worked a treat. We will be back, but in the meantime can heartily recommend Boleyn House as the perfect pied-a-terre in the heart of Brecon.

This accurately described flat is located on a quiet back street right in the centre of the market town of Brecon within a few minutes walk of all the local amenities. Comprising a lounge, bathroom, bedroom and kitchen it is small but perfectly formed with all the facilities you will need including WiFi. The flat has obviously been recently refurbished with a new bathroom and kitchen and new furniture throughout and all is spotlessly clean. The bathroom has a bath with a shower over fed by a combi-boiler so limitless hot water. The boiler also keeps the flat toasty warm when needed (which in February it certainly is!). The kitchen has everything you need including a washing machine and dryer, gas hob, electric oven and refrigerator. There is a small, totally enclosed courtyard at the rear of the property which is ideal for four legged friends. Ian and Lise are excellent hosts and provide a small welcome pack upon arrival. We had problems getting to the property on the allotted date but they were very accommodating and adjusted their schedule to help ours. Brecon itself has lots to offer with a variety of shops, several attractions and plenty of opportunities for eating out when it all gets too much at home. Beyond the town the Brecon Beacons National Park offers all the outdoor activities you could wish for. Public transport is limited to bus services which proved to be reliable, if not frequent, during our stay and are useful for a bus there / walk back day out. There are also several places offering trips along the canal although there wasn't much activity when we visited in February. There are a couple of parking spaces available in the same street as the flat but during our visit these were permanently occupied although it was possible to stop outside the front door to load and unload. In the town itself there is a lot of short term parking limited to an hour or two. For longer periods of parking we used a residential area a few minutes walk away. Travelers with limited mobility may find the lack of adjacent parking inconvenient and although the flat is on the ground floor getting in and out would require negotiating two steps and a tight squeeze through the front door. All-in-all, this is a marvelous base for enjoying this part of the world and I would heartily recommend it.

Our stay in Wales My partner and I plus! 2dogs, stayed in a lovely cottage in Becon on the edge of the towns river. The place was exactly as described, very clean , it had everything we needed & more. The owners were very accommodating and friendly. There were plenty of walks on the doorstep as well as further out over the Brecon Beacons. Plenty of shops in the town. We went to the waterfalls. Elan Valley is one to visit its beautiful there. Next time we will visit the caves. Lots to see & do. We would definitely recommend it. :-)

We had a great stay in this cottage over the bank holidays weekend. We are grateful that Lise and Ian allowed us to check in late in the evening and more grateful for the welcome gifts we received - a bottle of wine and some welsh cakes! The property was extremely clean and comfortable. It has all the facilities required - internet, fresh towels, comfortable bed, etc. The kitchen was well equipped and we prepared most of our meals there. Location wise, I would strongly recommend this cottage as a base for hiking and cycling holidays. The canal path is right at the doorstep and we spent 1 day cycling the canal for about 30+miles. We also spent a day trekking the 'Brecon horse-shoe' - a short drive away, reachable if you cycle. We also spent some time checking out the town, which has many interesting sites. All in, we really enjoyed ourselves. The only downside is parking. You need to find parking a short 5-10mins walking distance away from this place. A little hassle if you have stuff to unload from the car. Hope that Lise and Ian can work out a partnership with a neighbor to allow visitors to park there.

The flat is in a great spot in town right by the river and the owners left some welsh cakes and a bottle of wine for us which was very nice. The kitchen is fully equipt with everything you might need which is good for those who like to self-cater a lot of the trip - inside Brecon town itself is not the best for eating out that we experienced! Highly recocmend walking up the Crug for spectacular 360 views down on to Brecon and all aroudn the Beacons. Look on the Cadtle Hotel website for instructions.

Had a lovely break in Brecon. This appartment was exactly what I hoped for with everything included. Fresh flowers and a bottle of wine was just an added bonus. I will certainly come back again!

A lovely little place situated perfectly in the centre of the town. The apartment was warm & inviting with everything there for our needs. Parking was the only downside, but there was plenty of parking close by. Oh, perfect for our little dog too! Would certainly go there again :-}
