What a fabulous house! It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a great location. The pre-arrival instructions and directions were informative and accurate and none of us got lost trying to find the house. The welcome pack was a nice touch too. We cant wait to visit again next year.

Absolutely lovely property and lovely area! Would 100% stay again.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful, amazing top end facilities in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nature, but within driving distance of everything you should need. Yes just had the best 4 days, as 8 adults, 1 preteen, 2 babies and two dogs. Hottub was amazing!!! Will book again!!!

Excellent property for a large group, very well kept and equipped. A bit of a walk back from Builth and some local footpaths not signed were the only very slight drawbacks.
Lisa
Peacefully, private location with a nice view. Well laid out and equipped. Clean and well maintained.
Chantal
We all had a fabulous weekend celebrating my sons 21st Birthday, has everything you need. The hot tub and games room was a bonus too. Definitely would come back and recommend to family and friends. There was 8 of us ranging from 19 years old to 76 years old. Everyone loved it.

On arrival, we found a lovely hamper of essentials left for us by the host, the hot tub was hot on arrival, ready for us to use. The games room was a big hit with us all as we sp ent many nights down there playing games. Debbie the host was very welcoming and helped by advising us on local restaurants. We will be returning.

We stayed in Fairbanks just after Christmas, it was an opportunity for my sister and her family to come down from Scotland and meet my family, my mum and my other sister for a family Christmas. The house was perfect. We all had a bedroom each. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed the games room with the pool table and the retro arcade games. The ho use is beautiful and big and spacious and the dining area table is perfect being a big square. We live that our dogs were welcome. PERFECT.

This holiday home has a real wow factor from the moment you open the door. Every gadget we could have hoped for was provided. The furnishings and furniture are beautiful and comfortable. Perfect country retreat to enjoy time with family or friends. Would highly recommend and would certainly book again.

What a fantastic property! Everything we needed and more in a spacious beautifully furnished home, complete with under cover hot tub, and separate games room. Having the lounge, kitchen and dining room on the upper floor makes the most of the countryside views. Tiled flooring with underfloor heating throughout key areas is a blessing, especially wi th our dog! It's only a short walk of under a mile into Builth Wells.
Rachel
We had a wonderful 4-night stay at Fairbanks over New Years Eve. The house is amazing, plenty of space for 6 adults, two children and two dogs. It is well equipped and the owners have thought of everything you could need. The separate games room is a brilliant addition and we spent a lot of time in here (and also in the hot tub!). Debbie was very h elpful and responded quickly to messages and questions before and during our stay, nothing was too much trouble! We would definitely recommend!
