Great weekend with my daughter at The Box. Fantastic view. We loved sitting outside but it was super cosy to retreat inside when the weather turned.

Just returned from a fabulous break at The Box. The view is as stunning as the photos suggest, even on a dreary day, it was ever changing and quite mesmerising. The Box was spotlessly clean with everything you need for a self catering stay. There was a lovely welcome basket to get us started.

Can't wait to go back! Hide

We had a great stay in April. The host was very friendly, and everything we needed was provided. The place was super cosy and warm. There's a nearby animal farm, and our 1.5-year-old boy really enjoyed it. The Box was clean and had all the equipment needed for a 2 and 3 night stay. I would definitely recommend coming here and we might even come bacRead morek if we decide to visit the Brecon Beacons again! :) Hide
