Great base in town to explore the Beacons

Warm and cosy ground floor apartment, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortably furnished. I stayed with three dogs and the secure courtyard at the back was great for them to potter about in first thing in the morning. Lise met us with the keys, despite me being a little late arriving, and was very helpful and welcoming. Although there is no parking at the apartment, loading and unloading the car at the door was no problem and I parked for free a couple of minutes walk away across the river. We enjoyed plenty of walking in the Beacons and the Elan Valley but still ran out of time to explore everything around Brecon. Hopefully we can come back before too long... Highly recommended.

Great little flat, and so centrally based.

Lovely welcome pack - cake, wine and flowers - and a lovely welcome from Lise. The flat is very close to the river and all town amenities (I can certainly recommend the Brecon Tap for a pie and a pint). Very clean accommodation, and Lise even offered a fleece for the dogs if they wanted to 'rest' on the other sofa. Plenty of residential free parking a few minutes away so we weren't charged for leaving the car behind whilst we explored the stunningly beautiful countryside. Lots of info in the flat as to where to roam, too. We had a great break here.

Cosy cottage In Brecon

We had a lovely weekend and a warm welcome at Lise's apartment which was cosy, clean and central. Thanks for the wine, welsh cakes and flowers, a lovely touch and also tea, coffee and milk in the kitchen. We will definitely stay with Lise again. 😀

My Welsh Pied-a-terre

I lived in Boleyn House for five weeks while completing my PhD thesis between July and August 2015. This wonderful Brecon bolthole was the perfect place in which to get intensive, brain-draining writing done. It was roomy and yet still cosy, very well equipped but minimum maintenance, central to everything in town yet still mostly quiet. Lis and Ian were wonderful hosts and kept the property in fantastically clean and stylish for our arrival. They met us at the bus station, gave us a comprehensive run-down on what activities and facilities were available in Brecon. And even provided Welsh cakes and wine too! The kitchen is always my engine room and the one at Boleyn House did not disappoint. The gas stove top and oven were fabulous for cooking and baking. The bathroom was well appointed with a lovely deep bath, excellent shower rose, and a terrific reliable hot water system. We had course to use the heater on one or two cold nights and it worked a treat. We will be back, but in the meantime can heartily recommend Boleyn House as the perfect pied-a-terre in the heart of Brecon.

The courtyard was great for the dogs.Although parking outside is limited we were lucky enough to find a space and there is a car park across the road .

Excellent base for exploring the Beacons

This accurately described flat is located on a quiet back street right in the centre of the market town of Brecon within a few minutes walk of all the local amenities. Comprising a lounge, bathroom, bedroom and kitchen it is small but perfectly formed with all the facilities you will need including WiFi. The flat has obviously been recently refurbished with a new bathroom and kitchen and new furniture throughout and all is spotlessly clean. The bathroom has a bath with a shower over fed by a combi-boiler so limitless hot water. The boiler also keeps the flat toasty warm when needed (which in February it certainly is!). The kitchen has everything you need including a washing machine and dryer, gas hob, electric oven and refrigerator. There is a small, totally enclosed courtyard at the rear of the property which is ideal for four legged friends. Ian and Lise are excellent hosts and provide a small welcome pack upon arrival. We had problems getting to the property on the allotted date but they were very accommodating and adjusted their schedule to help ours. Brecon itself has lots to offer with a variety of shops, several attractions and plenty of opportunities for eating out when it all gets too much at home. Beyond the town the Brecon Beacons National Park offers all the outdoor activities you could wish for. Public transport is limited to bus services which proved to be reliable, if not frequent, during our stay and are useful for a bus there / walk back day out. There are also several places offering trips along the canal although there wasn't much activity when we visited in February. There are a couple of parking spaces available in the same street as the flat but during our visit these were permanently occupied although it was possible to stop outside the front door to load and unload. In the town itself there is a lot of short term parking limited to an hour or two. For longer periods of parking we used a residential area a few minutes walk away. Travelers with limited mobility may find the lack of adjacent parking inconvenient and although the flat is on the ground floor getting in and out would require negotiating two steps and a tight squeeze through the front door. All-in-all, this is a marvelous base for enjoying this part of the world and I would heartily recommend it.

Our stay in Wales

Our stay in Wales My partner and I plus! 2dogs, stayed in a lovely cottage in Becon on the edge of the towns river. The place was exactly as described, very clean , it had everything we needed & more. The owners were very accommodating and friendly. There were plenty of walks on the doorstep as well as further out over the Brecon Beacons. Plenty of shops in the town. We went to the waterfalls. Elan Valley is one to visit its beautiful there. Next time we will visit the caves. Lots to see & do. We would definitely recommend it. :-)

Great stay in Brecon

We had a great stay in this cottage over the bank holidays weekend. We are grateful that Lise and Ian allowed us to check in late in the evening and more grateful for the welcome gifts we received - a bottle of wine and some welsh cakes! The property was extremely clean and comfortable. It has all the facilities required - internet, fresh towels, comfortable bed, etc. The kitchen was well equipped and we prepared most of our meals there. Location wise, I would strongly recommend this cottage as a base for hiking and cycling holidays. The canal path is right at the doorstep and we spent 1 day cycling the canal for about 30+miles. We also spent a day trekking the 'Brecon horse-shoe' - a short drive away, reachable if you cycle. We also spent some time checking out the town, which has many interesting sites. All in, we really enjoyed ourselves. The only downside is parking. You need to find parking a short 5-10mins walking distance away from this place. A little hassle if you have stuff to unload from the car. Hope that Lise and Ian can work out a partnership with a neighbor to allow visitors to park there.

Good value for the location

The flat is in a great spot in town right by the river and the owners left some welsh cakes and a bottle of wine for us which was very nice. The kitchen is fully equipt with everything you might need which is good for those who like to self-cater a lot of the trip - inside Brecon town itself is not the best for eating out that we experienced! Highly recocmend walking up the Crug for spectacular 360 views down on to Brecon and all aroudn the Beacons. Look on the Cadtle Hotel website for instructions.

Perfect stay in heart of Brecon

A lovely little place situated perfectly in the centre of the town. The apartment was warm & inviting with everything there for our needs. Parking was the only downside, but there was plenty of parking close by. Oh, perfect for our little dog too! Would certainly go there again :-}

About the host

Host profile image
We bought Llwyn Llwyd Farm in Aberyscir Brecon in 2002 and moved down to Wales with our family from Watford in Hertfordshire with anticipation and excitement. We have never looked back. Originally from the welsh valleys, Pontypridd , I was keen to return to my roots. We are now very proud Grand parents and all 3 of our grown up children live nearby. Ian is a self employed Accountant and works from home and I am a qualified Nurse and work in the local hospital part time. Our dream was always to own and run holiday cottages and we are so excited to have welcomed our first guests in the summer of 2012 in both Llwyn Llwyd Cottage and No 6 Boleyn House.Since then we have added March Cottage a 3 bedroomed terraced cottage just a few minutes walk from the apartment. In 2018 we are adding a 2nd cottage to compliment Llwyn llwyd cottage to make total available to stay when book together to 12-13.
In 2013 @HolidayinBrecon was chosen by Theo Paphitis as an awarding winning business in his #SBS Small Business Sunday Twitter support network and have attended his #SBSevent to meet him each year. Since then we have won recognision as #Queenof Brecon Cottages and #SmartSocial.

Why they chose this property

We already own holiday cottages just outside Brecon and felt there was a need for simple self catering accommodation within the town. Great for couples and walkers and also suitable for short term rental to people working in the town. Free unlimited Wifi. No 6 Boleyn House can compliment our other accommodation nearby March Cottage which sleeps up to 6 in 3 bedrooms.

What makes this property unique

Located within Brecon town and is one of the closest self catering lets to town and therefore you can leave the car and enjoy the surrounding town and mountains on foot if you choose.No 6 Boleyn House also benefits from being self contained so ideal for a self catering short break and not be tied to meal times. Travel cot, highchair available free of charge on request.
