George
Our family of nine, spanning three generations from 7 to 72, stayed here for a week and honestly, we loved it! The house had everything we needed, super comfy and cosy. The hot tub was a hit with everyoneand the games room kept us entertained. Debbie, the owner, popped by daily to check the hot tub and was really helpful when we needed a local garage for one of our cars. All in all, a great stay - we’d definitely come back!
Emma
We loved the house! The upside-down layout really showed off the amazing viewsand the outside areas, like the gardens and big balconies, were perfect for relaxing. The beds were super comfyand the kitchen had everything we needed. The games room and hot tub were fab additionsand the welcome hamper was a nice touch. It’s a bit of a walk to the village, but the place was spotless and private. We’d happily come back!

We stayed at this lovely place just outside Builth Wells and honestly, it was fantastic. The house itself is gorgeous, with a massive kitchen and dining area that’s perfect for family gatherings. The hot tub and games room were definite highlights-kept everyone entertained. We enjoyed walking into Builth along the peaceful road, which has plenty of eateries and shops to browse. Days out in the mountains and a trip to the beach made our trip even more special. The owner was really friendly and left us a lovely basket of goodies-definitely recommend!
Laura
We booked this place for our family trip and everyone loved it! The house was spot-on, really lovely and comfortable. Honestly, it was just what we needed - nothing to complain about. Thanks a lot! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great stay.

Fairbanks is a lovely big place set in a super peaceful spot, yet still close enough to town for shopping. The house has plenty of space for everyone, with comfy views and a hot-tub that’s perfect for unwinding. The games room and well-stocked kitchen made our stay even better. Communication with Debbie was smooth; she was always there if we needed anything. Overall, a great spot for any weather, we’d definitely come back!

We had an amazing stay! The bedrooms were really spacious and the beds super comfy. Loved the bathrooms, especially the big bath downstairs-it was perfect after a long day.

We arrived to a lovely welcome basket, which was a nice touch. The house itself was really comfortable and we enjoyed making the most of the hot tub and games room. The upstairs lounge with the log burner felt super cosyand the dogs had a great time exploring the garden. The kitchen had everything we needed, making meal prep easy. We’d definitely recommend the Prince Llewelyn - their Sunday lunches are really good. Shame we didn’t explore Builth Wells on foot, the road’s a bit narrow and winding for walking. Still, a lovely stay overall!

We stayed in Fairbanks just after Christmasand it was such a lovely break for us. My sister and her family travelled down from Scotland to join my mum, my other sisterand ourselves for a proper family Christmas. The house was just right-spacious, beautifuland comfortable. Everyone had their own bedroom, which was great. We loved the hot tub and the games room with pool and arcade machines-so much fun! Plus, having our dogs with us was a huge bonus. Honestly, it was perfect for what we needed.
