  • "A big thank you goes to Tom and Jackie for our wonderful stay at the old stable cottage."

    The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beautiful countryside, great for walking and a perfect location. We had a wonderful week and will definitely be back in the future. Highly recommend for people with pets

  • "The cottage is lovely, and the scenery amazing."

    The owner was very friendly and helpful, and made an effort to make the house warm enough as the weather became autumnal. Your description was misleading. The cottage is most definitely not 'nestled' in the village of Pontfaen, which consists of 3 or 4 houses and a church. The cottage is about 3 miles away along a lane with grass down the middle. Somewhere we got the idea that there was a shop and a pub in the village, which may have referred to nearby Cwm Gwaun. The Pontfaen chip shop is in Newport. There is also a Pont-faen near Brecon. So some of this might be due to my careless use of Google, but the 'nestled' error was definitely you. Do you really think I've got nothing better to do after driving over 200 miles than answer your emails?

    Thank you for your lovely review of The Old Stable, we hope to see you again. The description says we are near Pontfaen and it does have a pub - the famous Dyffryn Arms or 'Bessies'. There is a farm shop, Carla's, selling fabulous groceries and meat about a mile from the cottage. Property Owner

  • "Spacious, well equipped, comfortable property."

    Idea for exploring the local area. Good local walks and everyone very friendly

  • "The Old Stable is a well situated holiday rental, within an intimate development in beautiful countryside."

    There are links to lovely coastal towns and villages through picturesque country lanes and a wonderful farm shop close by, selling top quality locally sourced produce and meat. The cottage itself is handsome, secluded and very comfortable. The lounge has a wonderful log burner for cosy evenings and the kitchen is extremely well equipped for self-caterers, though the area offers excellent restaurants for those eating out. The beds are luxurious and we slept very well throughout our stay. There is a very pretty, secure private garden attached to the cottage, perfect for sitting out with a glass of wine. The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable and gave us a warm welcome. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to friends or family and will look forward to visiting again.

    Tom and Jacquie were the perfect hosts on hand should any issues arise which happily they did not.
