all fine, didn't meet any staff but lady on phone was nice. added a brief vid of my friend
Ian Holmes
Such a lovely relaxing location, very friendly host, 100% recommended, worth every penny. We used it for a brief overnight stay to escape the daily grind, it definitely met the brief, shame we couldn't stay longer, maybe next time.

We stayed in Rowan at Vale Farm Cottages and had a lovely stay. The interior was comfortable, the bed was comfortable, and my cosy room was very nice. I especially liked the sheep drawing on the wall, but even better was seeing actual sheep outside my window, along with rabbits in the early morning. It worked well as a family base for exploring Brecon and the surrounding area. The pool was nice to have available, as was the jacuzzi. The views were stunning, especially when the clouds were touching one of the distant hills. At night, it was almost completely dark and the area was so quiet, with no sound of cars except the occasional other guest driving past. Danielle went above and beyond during our stay. She even brought her dog Bonnie up to see me, and I really enjoyed petting her, especially as I no longer have a dog of my own. The only small issues were that the knives were not sharp enough, and the lighting was quite subdued, which made doing a puzzle in the evening difficult. Aside from that, it was a very comfortable and memorable stay, and I would happily give it 5 stars.

What a beautiful place to stay, we had a family weekend for mums 80th in the farm house. It was so chilled and all ages catered for, we will miss early morning sitting in the conservatory looking at the view. Youngsters will miss the swimming pool. We booked the photographer recommended on the website, Emmie Jones who was so nice and took some beautiful photos. Would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to everyone, thank you so much Danielle x

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage and the host was fantastic. We tried all the places of interest that were kindly recommended, and we were not disappointed! We even climbed Pen y Fan and the stunning weather made the views and whole stay all the more beautiful. Thank you!

Joost
What a Gem. We stayed here in April in Walnut. A lovely two bed well equipped cottage with stunning views to the Beacons. It's within a very well maintained farm with lots of local wildlife including Red Kites flying just yards from our window, and clear skies at night for stargazing. It is very dog friendly. Facilities include a swimming pool and hot tub. Danielle was very welcoming. Would definately recommend and we will return. Paul, Sarah, Kit and Bill

We had a wonderful weekend staying in Rowan! It’s clean, spacious and fully equipped for a family of 10 ( 2 cot sleepers). swimming pool and hot tubs made for lots of fun on a very wet weather weekend. Would 100% return and recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing but fun weekend/week. Danielle was on hand to help when we needed. Brecon is a short drive away with all the local amenities needed. Perfect 🤩
