Thank you for your 5 star review
A friendly welcome from the owner within an hour of our arrival to check everything was ok. We were left a chocolate cake and lemon curd :). The beds, bedding , cleanliness was all fine. Plenty of crockery, cutlery, pans etc Good washing machine and dishwasher which we made use of.The dining area was spacious and comfortable as was the main lounge - a nice space for us all to relaxThe outdoor area was lovely to sit and have breakfastThe showers could do with updating which is why I have given it 4 out of 5. Also the attic twin room was very warm
Great amount of space which the children enjoyed and garden.Lovely welcome with local produce.Very clean promisesKids had a great time performing a "show"at night on the raised fire place area.
If you've ever visited a holiday cottage before, you most likely have seen a guestbook in the property for guests to leave a review for others when they arrive. Each of the following comments was lovingly left by people just like you in the guestbook left at The Carriage House.
Great house, enjoyed our stay. Beautiful area and home - had a great time.
We've had a wonderful few days in this comfortable, warm and spacious house. The litttle things make all the difference; comfortable beds, beautiful bedlinen, nice towels, good appliances and lots of lights! Thank you so much for going the extra mile to make this a home away from home....much appreciated!
Everything perfect - house, walks and weather. A very special holiday in a special place.
We have enjoyed our time here. The house is very comfortable. The surrounding area is beautiful. We visited the Sugarloaf, Pen y Fan, the Walnut Tree restaurant and rode horses at Brecon. A visit to Hay on Wye was worthwhile for books, tapas and a walk along the river.
A lovely comfortable home from home and extremely well equipped! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back.
