Just returned from a fabulous break at The Box. The view is as stunning as the photos suggest, even on a dreary day, it was ever changing and quite mesmerising. The Box was spotlessly clean with everything you need for a self catering stay. There was a lovely welcome basket to get us started. Despite the weather we found The Box to be really cosy aRead morend so quiet. Just what we were looking. Ideally located for Brecon and the surrounding area. We will definitely be rebooking. Can't wait to go back! Hide

We had a great stay in April. The host was very friendly, and everything we needed was provided. The place was super cosy and warm. There's a nearby animal farm, and our 1.5-year-old boy really enjoyed it. The Box was clean and had all the equipment needed for a 2 and 3 night stay. I would definitely recommend coming here and we might even come bacRead morek if we decide to visit the Brecon Beacons again! :) Hide
