Old Factory House Reviews

Shirley

Highly recommend

Claire

Amazing well kept cottage in a beautiful location, just what we need for a relaxing girly weekend break. The hot tub was huge and big enough for us all to enjoy at the same time. A welcome bottle of wine from the owners was a lovely touch. We will definitely recommend and be back.

Amy

Lots of space for two families of four at the old factory house. The house is spotless and had everything we needed. We all enjoyed the hot tub! The location is great within - the village is lovely, picturesque views and a welcoming pub round the corner for an easy meal out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Peter

We had an excellent holiday. The facilities were very good and we especially liked the Hot Tub. The owner came every morning to check the Hot Tub was ready for use. The location was good and it is a peaceful place to switch off from town or city life.

Elizabeth

Perfect location, peaceful, large flat garden and near to some great walks. The house was large, comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Couldn't ask for more, thank you.

Gill

Lots off bird life and a very quiet location. Perfect for chilling out. The local pub, Tanners Arms and International Welsh Rarebit Centre both in the village and worth a visit.

Martin

Cottage was lovely, well equipped, very clean, brilliant location. Would highly recommend.

Emily

Beautiful house in the heart of Brecon Beacons. Would thoroughly recommend to a group of friends or a family. Lovely big kitchen and great hot tub that is cleaned regularly. If you are a fan of beautiful walks, lovely pubs and seeing wild red kites, this is the place to go. Friendly host too, thank you for a lovely week! Would stay again.

Nick

We will be back! *****

Paul

The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. The hot tub was excellent and warm on arrival. Being under cover was a positive due to almost constant rain during our stay.

David

A Family of 5 adults and 2 children. A spacious house great location and well equipped kitchen; The hot tub a favourite with everyone! We enjoyed the walks nearby and not far to go to the local pub! Decorated for the Xmas break too! Would recommend hope to be back in the near future.

Hafsah

An amazing and cosy cottage in the heart of Defynnog. The hot tub and view was excellent as was the wood burner on a cold night. I would definitely stay here again!

Sue

This was our second visit to the Old Factory House. It is perfect for our extended family. The location is great and there are walks you can do from the door, and Pen Y Fan and the waterfall walk are not far away. The entrance Hall is perfect for drying clothes - rather essential for walking in Wales. The Hot Tub is great and so well maintained. WeRead more certainly hope to come again. Hide

Carol

The cottage is both cosy and spacious - ideal for 3 adult couples self catering. We particularly appreciated the generous fridge and freezer provision (this is often inadequate for family catering) and the kitchen was really well equipped. It is in a beautiful location with the river Senni at the end of the garden and walks from the doorstep.

Gabrielle

We had a fantastic stay at the old factory house. Hot tub was amazing and really well maintained.

Annie

We had a lovely week in The Old Factory House. The cottage was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring The Brecon Beacons. The hot tub was an added bonus and very well maintained by the owner.

Andrea

Absolutely fab place

Caroline

Words cannot describe what a wonderful week we had at the old factory house. The house is amazing, well equipped, clean, owner came each day to check the hot tub. Loved watching the sheep in the field opposite while sat in the hot tub. We wouldn't have changed a single thing. There isn't much to do locally but I think that's the Brecon beacons in g eneral, you have to drive everywhere but it's well worth it. Looking forward to our next stay

Barbara

Plenty of space, wonderful hot tub. Great for all age groups. Nothing within actual walking distance but there are attractions not that far away. The scenery of Wales was spectacular. All in all a lovely holiday.

Gillian

Super family holiday - 6 adults and two dogs , plenty of room , nice and warm property. Well equipped kitchen , lots of logs provided for log burner. Hot tub very nice . Tried local pub less than 2 mins walk away food was very good. Everyone hoping for return trip.

Gareth

We stayed during the wettest weather possible with the surrounding area suffering severe flooding. The house provided a warm and comfortable retreat with the covered hot tub providing refuge from the weather. The house was well equipped with everything needed for a relaxing break.

Rachel

A lovely well converted and kitted out cottage in a lovely location with a pub on the doorstep. The hot tub is great even in January!

Susan

A lovely family break. Lovely comfy cosy home.The owners made it feel very Christmassy. Enjoyed our break.

Nicola

Fabulous! Fully equipped, spotlessly clean, warm, cosy and the special little touches like mince pies and wine made all the difference. Great spot to walk from the house or short drive to the national park for fabulous views and well constructed walks. Local pub was great for a bite to eat and there was others pubs in waking distance too. Would lov e to visit again without hesitation

Michael

Lovely location & house. One issue we did have was the hot tub, it was cold on arrival and despite a phone call and assurance it would be ready for later in the evening it was not, so lost an evening of use,The temperature is set at 37 which is not warm in the winter! The hot tub was neither topped up with chemicals or checked whilst we were there and smelt like the nearby river the next day after only 1 evenings use, which was a shame as easily rectified.

Richard

Wonderful cottage, we used it for a family get together and it was perfect. Excellent location for accessing the Brecon Beacons, great views from the house. The log burner and hot tub were a welcome sight after our walk to Pen y Fan. Hot tub was checked daily by the owner, Will definitely visit again.

Delightful house in lovely setting. Very well appointed. The only slight drawback for me was that the garden wasn't fenced (I have two small children), but I was made aware of that beforehand so no real issue.
