Vale oak cottage was lovely, the views were outstanding. Peaceful and quite. The cottage had everything you needed for a perfect holiday. The kitchen was well equipped with all you need. The grandchildren enjoyed their holiday swimming pool and the little park. The cottage was big and comfortable. This is my 3rd time staying at vale farm cottages. Definitely intended booking again. Thank you to Emma for a wonderful holiday and working so hard to keep the cottages and land looking so beautiful.

A very pleasant holiday home, with superb views and delightful lambs to watch from the picture window. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by the family though it was a bit noisy upstairs when the pool was in use underneath. The main living room was very spacious and comfortable though it was too dark to read once the daylight went. The Tesco delivery was very necessary as Vale Farm is quite a distance from the nearest shops ( though we were warned!) There was plenty of kitchen equipment and cupboard space to store everything!

A huge cottage with plenty of space, more than adequate for a large family or group. Once you are in the cottage, everything is on one level, ideal for a family with young children as they can always be seen.

We stayed for a friends Birthday and had the best time! The cottage was beautiful and characterful and all in one level which was great for our 1 year old to run around in. The conservatory had views across Brecon and was breath taking. We had a takeaway delivered in the first night which was great. Highly recommended and we will be back.

This was our 4th time at Vale Farm. We hire all the cottages with our family and enjoy quality time together in perfect surroundings. The kids love the swimming pool and space to run around having fun together in a safe environment. Emma and family are always very helpful, and on hand if needed. We look forward to next year

Amazing views, well equipped accommodation, friendly helpful hosts.
Highlights of our stay were use of the fantastic pool area, and in particular being allowed access to watching the sheep lamb. This was an experience that our 12 year old daughter and I loved, and will never forget.
Can also recommend The Three Horseshoes Inn in nearby Groesffordd, for a special meal out.
Thank you so much x

As there was a large group of us we hired out all the cottages for the same week and it worked really well.
As the weather was quite wet having the pool and both hot tubs there was always something to do (especially for the kids). The location was fantastic and the standard of accommodation was very high. The owners were friendly and approachable.

Great location and amenities. The family that run the cottages are very friendly and even when working hard will stop and talk to the guests. Very large spacious accommodation and well heated. Seemed at full capacity for the majority of our seven night stay but you wouldn’t notice as was very quiet and use of facilities was well managed.

We had an absolutely amazing time staying at Emma’s Vale Oak property. We were a group of friends catching up and exploring the local area with the dogs. Before we got there Emma was very attentive and any correspondence was swift and professional.

The facilities were fantastic, there were poo bins throughout the areas and a doggy box in the apartment which had some essentials such as poo bags and a water bowl which was great. The pool and hot tub facilities were used by us every day, it was always spotless and very well maintained. We really enjoyed booking slots for this as it meant we had exclusive use between an hour or half and a half depending on the time of day.

Vale Oak was a lovely apartment, up a flight of steps outside and then all on one level which worked really well for us and the dogs. There was ample space for several dog crates as well as lots of space to chill, relax and catch up. A wonderful trip and we have already booked again for next year.

My son and I stayed here for 3 nights walking in the Brecon Beacons. The view from the cottage was 9 miles clear line of sight to Pen Y Fan. It was super quiet being nearly a mile from road.
The cottage had everything we could have wished for with a massive amount of space and a bedroom to spare. 6 people would have been very comfortable even the max 9.
The owners could not have been more cheerful and helpful.
One local pub just down the road which was unfortunately closed because of lock down but Brecon was only 4 miles away and we found outdoor supper from the Tapp in the square...food was great.

Stayed here for 3 nights and was lovely! Cannot fault anything about the cottage. Beds were comfy, kitchen well equipped and nice large bedrooms. Due to Covid, the pool & hot tub were on allocated 1.5 hour time slots which suited us as we had these to ourself during this time. (Be up for 8am to get down and reserve your slot) The wifi and signal is very weak inside the cottage but this was no issue for us! The play area and animals around the cottage were lovely & the kids enjoyed these very much! Thanks for a lovely stay!

In arrival we were so pleased to find another hot tub attatched to our cottage. A wonderful NEW feature to top off the wonderful stay we had yet again. The whole farm is clean, the cottages are fully equipped with the littlest of things that mean the most as forgetting ur washing powder etc can be a nightmare so these added touches are just amazing. All u need is your clothes ,pool towels ,toiletries and food. We were 4 couples with children and it was perfect. Short drive into brecon for anything you need is about 12-15mins, its close enough and also far seay enough to be away from it all. Absolutely gorgeous place. Thanks emma for also taking our escaping dog in to your house until we woke too x

Quiet and comfortable with beautiful views from the living area. We did have problems with the showers but the owners were very concerned and keen to sort out the problem. As access is up stairs, this cottage is not suitable for everyone, but it's worth climbing the stairs for.

We had a fantastic week away with the family. We actually hired all 6 cottages. They were all clean, the beds were super comfy, each cottage was well equipped and safe for the children. The hot tubs and swimming pool were a great addition. The outdoor space was amazing and we were lucky enough to have the weather so we could really make the most of it. We couldn't fault our stay and would certainly recommend any (all) of the cottages. We made some lovely memories in a beautiful place! Thank you.

We stayed at Vale Farm for a family celebration in the larger Vale Oak with its stunning views across the Brecon Beacons, while my brother and his wife and baby stayed next door in Wild Cherry. This meant we had our own personal space with well equipped kitchen and bathrooms, but a large enough dining table for us all to be together when wanted. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of storage space and we all loved the swimming pool and hot tub.
We explored the beautiful countryside around and I would have loved even more walks around the surrounding area.
Our host Emma was lovely, unobtrusive in the farm house nearby, but very kind and helpful when needed, thank you for a fantastic holiday. I will definitely recommend Vale Farm and hope we will book again soon.

We booked all the Vale Farm Cottages for a family get together for a week. The facilities and set up worked really well for us. The pool and hot tubs were really well used. We ate together every evening outside in the quad area. The function room became a board games cafe for the week. Emma seemed to be permanently on hand to help if help was needed. We had everything we needed and more. A great stay. I'd highly recommend and would definitely return.

Over 20 of us uni friends (& kids) used Oak for dining together and after dinner, as 3 of the youngest kids were asleep at the far end of the cottage/barn. Excellent space if a little quirky with some of the cupboard space and the 2' high connecting door between 2 of the bedrooms. Kitchen could be a bit bigger given the sleeping capacity but the view from the end living room was spectacular. Could also do with a bit of guidance & specific receptacle for recycling, given the encouraging bin under the outside staircase

We all had a great family weekend catching up in beautiful surroundings. Lovely people and beautiful cottages. It was such a relaxing time with no negative distractions.
However just a small minus was two blown bulbs not replaced or dishwasher unblocked. You also need to take all your food, toiletries etc as the closest shops are in Brecon.
This did not spoil our weekend and I have recommended Vale Farm Cottages to friends and colleagues.

Hello Thank you for your review, I am pleased you had a great family weekend and I am very sorry that your dishwasher was not fixed during your stay. I did come and look at the problem when I was informed of the problem. Unfortunately I was unable to mend it myself. I mentioned that my husband would come and mend it for you later that evening. The next morning I did apologized to a member of your party staying in the same cottage explaining that he came home 10.30pm too late to disturb you, but he would be coming around later that morning and was told "not to bother as you were okay without a dishwasher and would be leaving the next day". I am very sorry but I now realize I should have spoken to you instead of other members of your party regarding this matter as you were the guest who make the booking. Vale Farm Cottages is situated in beautiful farm land with mountain views just 4 miles away from Brecon. I do add this information to everyone's arrival information explaining that it is best to get supplies and petrol from Brecon as you come through on your way to Vale farm cottages and the cottage is self catering or you can order a supermarket shop for your arrival. I am pleased you all had a relaxing time at Vale Farm Cottages and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. kind regards Emma

Just love staying here

This was our second visit with daughter and family. A perfect place to bring our grandchildren away from town life, to see the countryside. Plenty of room to explore and play and to have close contact with the farm animals. We all really love it here because of the peace and quiet and this year was extra special because the sun shone every day. Emma is a lovely hostess and always available if anything is needed. The pool is an extra benefit as the little ones love to swim. I would certainly recommend staying here for a comfy, relaxing holiday.

We had a couple of nights there, which was lovely. The views & location are good for exploring N.S.E&W
We found that when families were swimming ,with the pool underneath Vale Oak , it was very noisy. The cottage was quite well equipped. Unfortunately l like windows open at night & we couldn't open the velux, though l can appreciate others may forget to close them & rain could easily blow in. For the three of us we were acutely of the noise of the swimming pool heater but perhaps that is because we live in quiet area normally.
Overall l think the cottages are beautiful, & in a good location. ldeal for families, larger & small parties, as the facilities are brilliant.
Emma , the owner ,was very helpful & friendly . Thank you for a nice break.

Thank you for your review, I am very sorry that you couldn't open the window in the bedroom, I did buy a window pole when I moved to the cottages last Autumn and left it in the wardrobe so not sure where it has gone, so I have now ordered another one. The noise is coming from a brand new fan that is in the laundry area of the swimming pool, there is hardly any noise coming from the fan downs stairs and I didn't realize the bedroom could heard the noise. My electrician has come out this morning to replace it as it must of been faulty and the bedroom is now quiet again. I have added a opening time on the swimming pool, so guests do not get disturbed at unsociable times. Thank you for highlighting these problems to me. We hope to welcome you to Vale Farm Cottages again in the future. Emma

Lovely break
