Testimonials
Quaint village in the heart of the Brecon Beacons.
Crickhowell is a beautiful, unspoilt and friendly small village nestled in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park surrounded by lovely countryside and mountains. Jane and Tony's cottage had great views and was just a 2 minute walk to the River Usk. This area is a walkers paradise be it mountains, rivers or canals and lots of walking trails which start right from the village. Smiffy the cat was very affectionate and a pleasure to look after, I really enjoyed my stay here and would recommend this house-sit to anyone looking to relax in this peaceful setting to enjoy the nature of the Welsh countryside. The village has lots of traditional pubs serving good food and all the local shops you would need. The larger towns of Abergavenny and Brecon are not too far away and accessible by public transport and also host many events in the summer months. An all round great stay :))
