Great location and always had parking available. 😞 - Nothingread moreread lessLisa 26/08/24Perfect place to explore waterfalls. Everything was clean and some helpful essentials in the home.
Peter & Lydia was always quick to respond to questions and had recommendations for local trails too.
Peaceful and friendly area. Never met so many friendly locals!
Highly recommend the village hall cafe too. Perfect food after a long walk.read moreread less - Rev Faye 23/08/24Canyon Cottage was beautiful and in a great location. I’d definitely stay there again.
It was disappointing for our two children that the WiFi wasn’t working and phone signal isn’t great there. If we’d known before we arrived we could have brought our own portable router. Something to consider letting others know before they arrive.
A small point regarding the enclosed garden.. smaller dogs can get under the gate so might be worth attaching some mesh to the bottom.
Overall a great stay for our first trip to Wales. We will definitely be visiting wales again.read moreread lessAmanda 19/08/24Loved the accommodation, location and provision! Great value for a family break! 😀 - Great location for the outdoors, activities and local pubs! Good size property well equipped, lovely bedding and living space. Nice welcome box, thank you! Great communication prior to and during stay. 😞 - Wi-fi was poor and although we didn’t go for this; it is always useful for researching the locality.read moreread less - Jean-Baptiste 12/08/24Great place, spacious, comfy beds, nice kitchen, 2 TVs with large sofas, fireplace, lovely garden. Very very nice!
Only drawback is phone signal is extremely weak there, and if TalkTalk (the local internet provider) is having a bad day, you will have no way to go online/contact anyone! Not ideal for bored teenagers!read moreread lessJustyna Golos 06/08/24Perfect in each aspect. Just what you need for a weekend or a longer stay. Clean, tranquil, well equipped with clean towels on arrival and cleaning products and utensils available. Cosy little garden with two sets of door, table, chairs and bench. Good water pressure in a wet room (a bonus if you travel with dogs), central heating and free WiFi. We liked the maps on the walls and supply of leaflets about local attraction and places to see.The Cottage is in a hard to beat location literally at the doorstep of Dinas Rock and yellow trail leading to the Four Falls however you have Waterfall Country behind The Angel Inn which in our view is more spectacular that The Four Falls - hidden gem, quiet and scenic. Moderate walking skills required but still good to take the dogs. We didn't need to drive to any attractions apart from Co-Op in the village (3mins drive).read moreread less - Sophia 05/08/24wonderful place to stay. lovely little village. lots of restaurants/pubs within walking distance, lovely walking trails nearby. the Airbnb was clean and tidy, however. there we so many spiders! a daddy long legs in every corner of every room. I think I counted 6 in my bedroom, they were literally everywhere! this put us off quite a bit. they were even in the cupboards. most of then were massive, so it's not as if they were out of sight.
another thing that annoyed us was the cleaning fee. £50! we thought that was very pricey. considering the checking out rules were "strip the beds, put the linen and towels in bags, take out and replace the bin bags, sanitise all of the surfaces, clean the dishes and put them away". now I would have done this anyway regardless of the rules. however a £50 cleaning fee is way too much. all they would have had to do for the next guests is put clean sheets on the beds, and hoover (which we did anyway). we're undecided if we'd return. thank you for reading 🙂read moreread lessRalph 02/08/24A lovely place to stay and go for various hikes (very) near & far.
And a great place to adjust your work-life balance in the right way!
It’s easy to find.
Plenty of room to park your car.
A very nice backyard.
Just enough WiFi to find what you need without getting lost in time.
A relaxing shower for when you get back home after a day filled with Welsh nature.
And a nice living to relax infront of either the fireplace or the television.
Having a car or bike is very convenient (a necessity) for shopping.read moreread less - Dave 22/07/24Exceptional 😀 - Perfect in each aspect. Just what you need for a weekend or a longer stay.

The bungalow was very comfortable and we loved the layout with the open plan kitchen and living room. it is in a quiet dead end road with only a few other houses. It is an easy drive to the Brecons or you can walk straight from the house for river and waterfalls.read moreread less
- Caroline 05/07/24Wonderful 😀 - The location was wonderful for me, so close to nature. The house was peaceful, spacious, beds very comfortable, nice outside area, high standard of accomadation, very clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Canyon Cottage 😃 😞 - I am not a fan of wet rooms myself. It would have been helpful to have a mop not a brush to clear the water afterwards. The knives were quite blunt. There is no dishwasher or washing machine. This was fine for me as I like washing up. It just seemed strange considering the high standard/cost of the accommodation.read moreread lessRos 28/06/24Wonderful location and lovely accommodation. The only negative was the lack of quality kitchen utensils etc. Also the wifi connection is rather poor due to the location. Otherwise great and Peter was extremely helpful when we had a problem with streaming on the tv.read moreread less

- David 17/06/24The bungalow is in a great spot for accessing the surrounding area and the lovely walks. There are a couple of pubs within a 10 min walk and the local town centre is about a 20-25 min walk.
Highly recommend the place and I’m sure we’ll book it again.read moreread lessSarah Louise 20/05/24It was amazing, a long weekend away, could have stayed longer, great for a base for when exploring.read moreread less - Harriet 13/05/24Really enjoyed our three night stay.

will be coming back again in the future.read moreread less - Nicky 12/04/24What a little gem Canyon Cottage turned out to be. Tucked away in a very peaceful cul-de-sac, this accommodation met with all our needs. The location is superb; we began our stay on Day 1 with a dog-walk along footpaths that led us along a beautiful river and to some stunning waterfalls. More walking was completed for the rest of our stay; the location put us in a great position to reach some magnificent walks. Within walking distance, we found three fabulous eateries - breakfast at Gwladys and evening meals at The Angel and The White Horse - fantastic! We found the accommodation to be very comfortable, very clean and very relaxing. The log fire was a real bonus, the wi-fi terrific and the enclosed garden meant our dog was entirely safe. We'd be happy to recommend this as a great place to stay.read moreread lessMichele 08/04/24My son, dog and I have had the most wonderful stay at Peter's cottage, which was super clean, spacious and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The location is perfect for exploring all the stunning waterfalls nearby. Thank you too for the very thoughtful box of treats. Will definitely be back!read moreread less
- Matt 05/04/24Peter’s place was so ideal for our family break. It’s literally seconds away from scenic waterfall trails and easily accessible if you want to venture further into the Brecon Beacons. The local area is friendly and had some great pubs who also cater for little ones.
The space itself was clean, spacious and relaxing. We didn’t want to leave!read moreread lessSophie 01/04/24Great stay here with our two dogs, lots of space.

Wake up to beautiful bird song and warm your bones by the fire after a waterfall or pen y fan hike!read moreread lessLisa 16/02/24Lovely cottage in a quiet area. It was nice to hear the river flowing. Spotlessly clean and fresh. One of the best places I have stayed for cleanliness. All modern furnishings and everything you need for your holiday. The white horse pub was great. Lovely and cosy. Staff were really friendly. Catered well for dogs. Food was absolutely lovely. Would definitely stay at one of their accomodations again if in the area. Would definitely recommend.read moreread less
- Lucy 12/02/24Absolutely loved our break. The house was lovely and cosy, bigger than pictured too, we felt right at home.
We walked both the waterfall routes and the routes for Dinas ro k, both were amazing and I would highly recommend.
Pen y Fan is within 30 minutes drive.
There is a lovely pub for food and drinks in walking distance, The Angle Inn that I would recommend. We also popped across the road for a coffee, also very nice and they also offer food.
We will be back in the summer 🙂read moreread lessCarl 03/11/23Nice and quiet with great walks literally around the corner. Enjoyed our stay a lot.read moreread less - Anna-Kate 30/10/23Initially our hearts sank when we drove up to the property as it is in little close with other houses all decorated for Halloween and has no outlook at all.
However that aside, we had the most wonderful time. It was an ideal position to be able to explore and walk our dog by the river with no one around. You can walk the Four Waterfalls walk without having to drive anywhere. They were magnificent.
We had some great meals at local pubs. Pen Y Cae Inn and The old white horse stood out. The cottage is immaculately clean and well equipped. You can’t hear any neighbours or traffic. So peaceful and comfortable. Communication was excellent with Peter and we were very impressed by his organisation. Thank you. We would certainly love to come again and will be recommending to others.read moreread lessBen 23/10/23Nice place perfectly situated for waterfall walks.
Took us a minute or two to find the correct house number but fairly easy to find.
If you are going over a weekend then check the time resteraunts close Sunday afternoon as some have shorter hours.read moreread less - Joe 02/10/23Cozy, convenient and accommodating! 😀 - We loved how close it was to the start of the Four Falls Walk (Red Route).

- Howard 15/09/23Canyon cottage was very comfortable, uncluttered and clean. It was ideal for two of us, but could easily accommodate four adults.
There was generous parking which helps to make any stay less stressful.
All in all, it was a very restful and peaceful break.
The waterfall walk was a delight.
Both Peter and Lydia were very quick to respond to a couple of enquiries.

There was plenty of space for our family of four and a dog. The Cottage was very clean, comfortable beds and the perfect space to come back to after our adventurous days out exploring.
Peter was very responsive and provided us with a wealth of information about the local area. We underestimated just how close we were to the waterfalls!
The waterfall trails are just beautiful and there was so many places to explore that we could have done with staying for another week.
Hawkins Familyread moreread lessGail 21/08/23Fabulous location to explore the many waterfalls in the area, which are spectacular. There are three pubs all within walking distance (15 mins) which all serve food. We ate in the Angel and the food was lovely.

Great location, you can walk to the falls and we drove to Swansea for the day and Wales Bike park about 20 minutes drive. The Angel pub about 10 minute walk was great allowed dogs with good pub food and the nearby town with coop and amazing donuts highly recommend ‘The Donut Place’ The accommodation was suitable for the 3 of us with secure garden for the dog. Would be fine for 4 - twin room big size. The village hall just a 100 yards away did great breakfast baps.read moreread less
