The owners provided use of the garage opposite which was more than enough room to store our 3 motorbikes. The property was lovely, quant and had everything we could need for our 3 day motorbike tour of Wales. There we could walk to a very nice pub and shop in Gilwern which took only about 10 minutes. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a lovely quiet cottage around the Brecons. ##### Owen Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lucy M. 23 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Stay at Welsh Machine House This is an old style spacious house on the side of a valley and buried in a wood. It is nicely decorated with all items required. The access road is narrow and twisty, just in case you think you might make it with a big van it will be tricky. The house is quite dark and has a musty old damp smell. The property management/owners are quite impersonal as you will do all your check in and communications digitally. I was slightly disappointed that for somewhere that is surrounded by nature and has such a rustic feel that there were so many plastic plants filling every available space in the house. Finally this house is not cheap, but can hold up to four people comfortably and probably could easily fit a pullout bed also. ##### Lucy M.
