"We had a lovely stay in Kooky Cottage, very clean and tidy and only a short walk to the local town."
The fire was lovely too.
The only thing i could mention would be never having a reception to watch tv that said it didn't bother us really because we was never in but i could imagine some would like to have that especially if they had been out all day and fancied a quiet night in.
Thank you for your positive feedback. I have since checked the TV aerial and it had become dislodged in the recent high winds. The issue has now been resolved.
Thank you for letting me know. The TV is also connected to the internet for any catch up or internet apps and also has a DVD player built in.
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and would welcome you back.

"A cozy little cottage, clean and the kitchen equipped with the necessary tools."
The only problem is the stairs, especially to the kitchen, the location is very convenient, close to the center.

"Great little cottage."
Lovely and clean. We knew the stairs would be tricky from previous reviews so we were aware.

"Unfortunately the boiler broke down the day before I arrived so was without hot water for three days."
At least the weak shower was hot!! The stairs were very steep as warned in the brochure but they were all uneven and quite slippery as they were painted. Would be better if carpettes. As the kitchen was half basement it smelt damp and mould was to be found on the back of the cupboard on left and on some utensils. A shame as kitchen was well equipped and pretty if lacking in natural light. The last thing that was a shame for me was that there was no grass at all and my dog won’t pee on concrete. It is a pretty cottage and within easy walking distance of good walks and the town but I will not be returning.
I can only apologise that that the boiler broke the morning of your arrival but I did my best and it was replaced with a new boiler within 48hrs. The stairs have grit tape on the edges as I worry carpet could be more slippery in socks. I hadn't noticed any damp in the kitchen when I was there the weekend before but I will certainly look in to it. I hope you return to Brecon to explore more in the future.

"Please place a larger fridge in the kitchenette, this one much too small"

"Lovely property, ideal for a brief weekend visit to Brecon."
Town was a short walk from the cottage. Parking was easier than expected and the cottage itself very comfortable and well maintained and equipped. My only thought for those with any mobility issues the stairs up and down are very steep. My wife and I managed ok and we really enjoyed our stay.

"Cottage was not clean on arrival, bedding not changed, dirty towels on the floor."
Had to go for a long walk in the rain, waiting for the cottage to get cleaned. Lady responsible for the situation came with a box of chocolates and apologized the following day.
Hi Miss Katarzyna,
I can only apologise again that this happened. Unfortunately the house keeper had to take her husband to hospital and time got away. As soon as she could, she pulled a team together and cleaned the house in 45 minutes.
I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay, and the chocolates.

"Understand this is an old property which slopes upstairs but if this was mine l would jack up the low side of the bed rendering it level and providing for us anyway, a better nights sleep, just our thoughts?"
?
Hi Angela,
Thank you for your helpful feedback, nobody has commented on this before but I will look into adjusting the bed.

"Kooky cottage is a quirky little place."
There is a cosy wood burning stove and the owners have refurbished the place in a tasteful fashion. It is very close to all amenities and there are lots of dog friendly coffee shops etc. The stairs are fine going up but coming down is a bit scary! Our elderly Retriever was marooned in the living room as he could manage the stairs.

"We had a lovely stay at this cottage over New Year, it is definitely Kooky not a problem for us we loved it, they have listed this explaining the stairs are steep and you should expect this fully as described however, it all adds to the character."
We had a great stay, did some walking going to the local town, and cooked all our meals in the kitchen, although a shared yard we never saw anyone else during our stay, it's so peacefully quiet, a lovely log burner adds to the stay.
We would return and definitely recommend
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and understood the kookiness of the cosy cottage.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.
Best wishes for 2023.

"We had a really lovely stay at Kooky Cottage over Christmas."
The property was in a perfect location for some lovely hikes and walks, the town had everything in walking distance which was useful.
The cottage itself has everything you need, with a really nice kitchen. The host had left a basket of useful information about the area and we did some of the suggested walks. The log fire made the cottage very cosey too! The stairs do take some getting used to but as long as you take them slowly they aren't too much of a problem. For some reason I assumed the property would have been decorated for Christmas, but on reflection I should have checked this, however it did not take from the lovely time we had there. The area was quiet and friendly too.

"Kooky cottage was such a great find!"
We stayed for 4 nights beginning of this month (August) and didn't want to leave.
The cottage was very cosy and comfortable with a whole lot of character. Owner has thought about, and supplied everything you could need for your stay. We found the cottage very clean and all linens, towels etc clean and fresh. Lovely decor also!
Added bonus of a sofa bed which was handy too. Table and seating available to sit outside also, we didn't use them but was good to know we had the option.
The stairs are steep, of varying sizes, and ceiling above them is low but with time and care they're fine to navigate!...this just adds to the character and charm though, it is a 1850s property!
Great location very quiet street, easy to walk into the centre of Brecon. Street parking available in front of property, not a lot of room but we had no issues thankfully.
We really enjoyed our time here and would love to visit again. Will recommend to friends and family!
Thank you very much for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. The cottage does have a certain 'feel' about it that puts a smile on your face and entices you to stay.
I have passed on your compliments to the house keeper as we take care to maintain the facilities and cleanliness so you can enjoy your time in Brecon.
We'll look forward to welcoming you back or any friends or family in the future.

"Lovely quirky cottage, the stairs are a bit steep but manageable."
Has everything you need. Great location for pubs and restaurants.
Thank you for your kind feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay.
The stairs are what gives the cottage its name, 'Kooky', and are part of the 1850's 'charm'.

"The cottage was convenient for popping into the town, but it was not so easy to pop up or down stairs in view of the stairs steepness being greater than expected."
Sykes were good at responding to any queries that we had and the info left by the owner was very good and informative. It was great for a mini break for access to the Beacons. The wood burner was better when we got some seasoned wood.
