    Lovely little base for exploring The Brecon Beacons. Lots of space and good value for money! Loved the little terrace, great for the dog to chill out in after a long day out hiking. Little bits provided for the dog were amazing and very helpful...

    We have stayed at multiple James' Places over the years and are impressed every time. We did have a very small issue this time, but it was rectified immediately after notifying Angela. We'll be back in the new year!

    Furniture mix and accessorizes were just great. The presence of a free parking place was a plus.
