  Following an issue with our original booking where we were double booked we were offered Pheasant Two, a bit further away from home but it turned out to be far better than we expected.

  From being met by Carmen the owner as we arrived, finding a lovley warm inviting little cottage with a well equipt kitchen and fresh tea and coffee,nice comfy lounge with dining table, Freeview TV, comfy sofa and chairs to the nice powerful shower, comfy bed (we only used one...of the two available) and good wi-fi, it was everything you'd expect and wast most welcome for our first break away in nearly a year. Lovley location and easy to get places if you have a car. Take a wander around the houses large farm which gives some lovley views over the area. We did trips to Abergeveny, Monmouth, Usk, Raglan, Chepstow where theres some lovley walks (The Eagles Nest nr Chepstow recommended but theres a lot of steps .. hint go left from the lower car park and whilst its a steep climb up, you then come down the steps..all 380+ of them rather than have to climb up them!). Only other thing to advise is that there are still a lot of restrictions in place so we found a lot of places closed and places to visit or restuarants/pubs a bit difficult to get into as you needed to pre-book and most were full......But all in all a lovley place and I'd recommend to anyone for a nice gentle break....

  Well you couldn't wish for a warmer welcome from Theresa, John and family to Old Well Bungalow.

  Lovely spacious and light filled Bungalow, nicely furnished and with every you could want for a holiday retreat in a peaceful location. The welcome pack of Welsh cakes, bread, milk, butter and jam etc was much appreciated. Would I recommend Old Well Bungalow to others? A definite YES and would I go back, again a YES (although I might take my own pillows as found those supplies were quite hard - but appreciate this is a personal choice). Ideal location for visiting the many wonderful sites within that part of Wales (recommend St Fagan National Museum of History (& apart from a £6 parking fee its free to get in) and Raglan Castle. If you visit Caerphilly Castle beware of the Pigeon Poo on the handrails and also there is a lot of construction work taking place , so a lot of the castle is off limits, including the toilets and there are no nearby public toilets. Also Sykes descriptions states there is a freezer, but this is not a stand alone freezer, but rather a small freezer/ice box in the fridge, although this was not a problem for us. One of the nicest Sykes cottages we have stayed in and a credit to Theresa & John.

  Kooky cottage was such a great find!

  We stayed for 4 nights beginning of this month (August) and didn't want to leave. The cottage was very cosy and comfortable with a whole lot of character. Owner has thought about, and supplied everything you could need for your stay. We found the cottage very clean and all linens, towels etc clean and fresh. Lovely decor also! Added bonus of a sofa bed which was handy too. Table and seating available to sit outside also, we didn't use them but was good to know we had the option. The stairs are steep, of varying sizes, and ceiling above them is low but with time and care they're fine to navigate!...this just adds to the character and charm though, it is a 1850s property! Great location very quiet street, easy to walk into the centre of Brecon. Street parking available in front of property, not a lot of room but we had no issues thankfully. We really enjoyed our time here and would love to visit again. Will recommend to friends and family!

  We had a really lovely break and we found the cottage to be more than just a base from which to explore the area, it was a home from home!

  The cottage was immaculately clean, lovely fresh bedding and towels were provided and it is tastefully and attractively furnished. We felt like we could immediately unpack and relax without any worries or concerns. The cottage is very well equipped, we stayed for 4 nights and we didn’t feel that we lacked anything. The owners are very hospitable and helpful, they were available for a friendly chat and and provided useful information about the area and local facilities. As regards the surrounding area and location...absolutely stunning! The well maintained and beautiful garden just outside our front door was a real highlight! As a family who love to be outside enjoying nature and creation, having that little paradise on our doorstep really added that special something to our holiday. We would have no qualms about returning and we can not fault anything, a big thank you to the owners for doing such a wonderful job!

  We can thoroughly recommend staying at The Pheasant 2.

  Recently refurbished, it is fresh, clean, modern, spacious and comfortable. Set on a farm just off the road, it is easy to access and has its own allocated parking space. The owners are welcoming, friendly and offer helpful advice about the local area. The beds are comfortable with good quality bedding and linen. The whole place is immaculately clean, well-organized and equipped with everything thing you need plus a few thoughtful extras. The location is excellent for visiting Monmouth, Abergavenny, Crickhowell, Tintern Abbey and Raglan Castle. There is a Nisa (Coop) store close by in Raglan, a Coop in Usk and a larger Morrisons in Abergavenny. We stayed here a week and hope to come back again as its convenient for a quick get away.
