Coach House
Thank you for the use of your lovely cottage, and for your very kind welcome basket. The Welsh cakes were extremely nice-all had been eaten by Sunday!
We really must congratulate you on the standard of everything in the cottage-a very high standard indeed-and without any doubt that the best accommodation we have had.
Since returning to the UK from Egypt in 2004 we have had two trips each year to various parts of the UK from Scotland to Cornwall-mainly for W's benefit and to see the country-and I have enjoyed revisiting places not seen for many years-so we have taken about 12 to 13 cottages in the last 6 1/2 years-and Bailea coach house is indeed exceptional.
Thank you again for the use of your cottage and all its lovely contents-love the cooker-and W has fallen in love with the Welsh slate!

Marjorie, simply of the nicest, beautiful and homely cottages we have ever stayed in. We have had a fantastic week and return home feeling rejuvenated and well rested. With walking routes and exciting mountain bike trails on the doorstep, the location is perfect. See you in the summer!
A and R November 2010
We have had a wonderful week in this well-appointed cottage. We were able to spend every day cycling in the Brecon Beacons National Park. The Coach House was a lovely warm place to come back to in the evening.

A truly relaxing week in superb accommodation, with a warm welcome from Mr. and Mrs. Morgan and Bonnie the dog. The Welsh cakes, kidney bean chutney and marmalade all to be recommended!

An excellent place to stay for our New Year celebrations. Managed two good walks from the door as the snowy weather meant driving wasn't and option. Would love to come back and stay longer in such a fantastic cottage.

We've had a fantastic week in the Brecons. The Coach House is by far one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in - beautifully presented, immaculately clean, plus all those little extra touches that make the difference between a good holiday and a great holiday.
The Indian Summer has been the icing on the cake - didn't need our wellies once.
Thank you for making us feel very welcome.
Joy and Brian, Somerset - September 09
This spacious and immaculate cottage far exceeded our expectations. It is spotlessly clean and very well equipped and beautifully furnished - everything you could possibly desire for a relaxing and tranquil break ina fantastic location.
Marjorie and Evan are the perfect hosts and made us feel welcome and at home throughout our stay.
Thank you so mcu - we shall certainly recommend it and hope to return.
Cyril and Neelia (Devon), Cliff and Helen (Somerset) - August 09
Our second visit in 3 months - which says just how much we enjoyed our first visit here. This past week has confirmed our earlier impressions that this is indeed an exceptional place for a holiday. Superb comfort and a welcome from Marjorie which will always be remembered. The weather was unkind, but even the onslaught of "Hurricane Bill" couldn't dampen our spirits or spoil the attractions of Bailea.
Thank you Marjorie
Russ and Pat - August 09
We have had a truly superb Easter Break. Great credit to you both - the accommodation is the best we have stayed in and it was lovely to meet you both. Even the weather excelled with sunshine every day and we enjoyed the excellent walking. Many thanks - we look forward to returning.
Sue, Neil and Gemma, Herts
Dear Marjorie and Evan Thank you for a wonderful stay. Everything was brilliant, the hospitality and accommodation the best we have ever had. We will be back.
Pat and Russ - May 2009
PS Russ is now demanding Welsh cakes. What beautiful surroundings
A great place to spend Christmas! 5 Star "home away from home". We had fabulous accommodation, great weather, great company and a really relaxing break. The weather made the walks even more enjoyable - we were so lucky. The welcome when we arrived and the warm, decorated cottage started a tremendous week. We could not have asked for more.
Pat, John Fergus and Alex, Liverpool, Cardiff and Dublin - Christmas 2008
This is the best cottage we've ever stayed in. Perfect in every way! Thank you for the lovely welcome pack - delicious Welsh cakes! We had a wonderful week of walking in the beautiful countryside despite the changeable weather. We'll definitely be coming back.
Kayvan, Deirdre, Jasmine and Hannah, Bristol - Aug 2008
Fantastic cottage - spacious, beautifully furnished and well equipped. Loved the Welsh cakes, chutney and marmalade, too. We had a lovely week - especially enjoyed Craig-y-Nos Country Park, Llangorse lake, red kite feeding station at Llanddeusant and the National Botanical Garden. The "Easier Access" leaflet (No. 15) was very useful. Thank you
Trevor, Mary and Pat - June 09
What a lovely place to stay... We had a great visit to Wales and hope to return again. The view from the patio, sipping a drink or eating supper was wonderful after a day of touring. The Welsh cakes were the best we tasted and the welcome package of goodies was a lovely welcome to a great spot. Thank you so much!

Stable
The accommodation and attention to detail superseded our expectations. The Welsh cakes were lovely and were most welcome after our journey here with a nice cup of tea.
The Tanners Arms on the way to Defynnog is a real local, welcoming pub.
W and O November 2010
F and I have had a great time here at Bailea Farm. We really cannot thank you enough for your hospitality but we wish you all the best in the coming years. We do hope on day to return to Brecon Beacons as we continue to travel before old age catches up with us. The Stable is a great place to stay - especially when the weather wasn't the greatest.
C and F November 2010
The Stable fulfilled all of our needs wonderfully. Our time here has been one of the best vacations-despite the weather. We truly enjoyed being in a the Brecon Beacons National Park and the beautiful area surrounding Bailea farm. We hope to come back in the not too distant future. Kind regards.
C and F (USA) November 2010
Thank you for a wonderful week in your beautiful, clean and luxurious cottage! It has been a wonderful place to come home to each evening. Marjorie, you're welcome basket, your Welsh cakes and your scones were delicious. Everything here is welcoming and wonderfully comfortable, and all the touches and the great kitchen and bathroom were especially nice. We also love this part of Wales-the beautiful area of a spectacular country.
J and H (USA) October 2010
We've had a wonderful week year-so quiet and peaceful after a very stressful year. Countryside beautiful and cottage so comfortable. Will happily recommended-excellently equipped and immaculate, with Jacuzzi the icing on the cake! Five stars well deserved! Many thanks.
M and A (Scotland) September 2010
Love the cottage, we've stayed in many but none as nice and is well equipped as this one. The beautiful furnishings, Whirlpool bath and very generous hamper of goodies were a welcome on our arrival after a long journey. There is so much more we want to do and see in this beautiful part of the world-we'll be back! PS walking guides were excellent and well use during our week. Many thanks.
W and S (Durham) August 2010
We had the wonderful week in this beautiful cottage. After a very warm welcome we couldn't believe how clean and luxurious our temporary new home was. The Jacuzzi and amazing mattress were perfect for soothing sore legs and it was so peaceful and calming to return here in the evenings. This was our second visit to the area and we really enjoyed thoroughly exploring this beautiful part of the world. The Usk reservoir, the beautiful lake of Lyn y Fan Fach, the waterfalls around Ystradfellte and the spectacular peak of Pen y Fan were particularly highlights. Hearty food was served at the Lion and we can also recommend; the bit further away, the Bear in Crickhowell. Thank you so much for a very relaxing week.
H and T (Ealing) August 2010
This was our first visit to the Brecon Beacons and we could not have wished for a better place to use as the base for our walk along the beacons way. The welcome was warm, the Welcoming Basket of goodies delicious and the cottage itself was beautiful. The Jacuzzi was wonderful and was well used after long days in the beacons. Now that we have sampled the area we want to come again and would look to stay here again.
T and C (Isle of Wight) July 2010
Our stay at Bailea has been truly memorable-the fantastic cottage, luxurious yet homely; the welcoming basket-delicious and the warm welcome from you both. Enjoyed two days at the royal Welsh show, a visit to botanical gardens-highly recommended and there are visit to Abergavenny and Hay-on-Wye. The lion is worth a visit for good food and friendly atmosphere. What can I say!! We don't want to leave. Thank you both so much for having us. We shall be back.
G and P (Gwynedd) July 2010

J and S (Suffolk) July 2010
Thank you for your warm welcome! Your lovely cottage is so cosy and comfortable, it provided us with the setting to have the rest we really needed. Along with the good weather, good walking, fresh air and lovely countryside, what else could we need? Thank you.
M and J (Kent) July 2010

Dear Marjorie,
We felt very at home in this lovely cottage. A bit sad to move on. The first five days the weather was very good. Tenby was nice to walk around and eat an ice cream at sea. We had a nice dinner at Shoemakers Arms and a beer in the sun at the pier of Aberystwyth. A very nice week! Thank you!
D and L (The Netherlands) April 2010
We also sad to leave this peaceful cottage. Our stay at Bailea Stable has nourished our souls and calmed our hearts. The furniture, the fabrics, everything is perfection. Five stars-yes!
C (Sir Benfro) and C (Carmarthenshire) March 2010
A beautiful relaxing break in a beautiful environment. The cottage is so lovely and welcoming that it was so difficult to leave. We couldn't have asked for anything else. There beautiful place to stay and the weather to match. Snow on the Brecons with beautiful blue skies. We look forward to coming back soon. Many thanks to you both and Evan for making us feel so welcome. We really enjoyed the Welsh cakes too. The highest compliments to you as they tasted and reminded me of my late Nan's Welsh cakes. Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you so much for making our stay in wales so very easy and comfortable in every way. With the uncertain weather, we have fully appreciated all those creature- comforts that make Bailea truly 5-star - and it made us enjoy the stunning scenery and exhilarating walks all the more.
A lovely holiday - thanks again.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your delightful cottage. It has felt homely but luxurious.

Thank you Marjorie and Evan for such lovely welcome. The cottage is wonderful - it is the best of all the cottages we have stayed in. The Welsh cakes were the nicest we have ever tasted and we have tried quite a few in our time, the chutney and marmalade was also yummy. We had a lovely week and the big comfy bed was wonderful after a good long walk. We hope to visit again soon.
Linda and Garry, Llanelli - June 09
Thank you for a relaxing, quiet and enjoyable stay here at Bailea Stable Cottage. We loved the Jacuzzi bath after long days running the mountains of the area! The cottage is in an ideal location for walks / runs from the doorstep or to travel further afield. We hope to return again soon for more relaxation. Thank you again
Honor and John, Lancs - May 09
We have never relaxed so quickly or so completely as we have done since arriving at this gorgeous cottage on Saturday; the thought that has gone into this place and the attention to detail is a credit to the owner. We walked, we talked, we thoroughly enjoyed - and the PYO strawberries just up the road we gorgeous. We will definitely be back.
Sue and Alan - June 08
We have had a fantastic week in your great cottage and perfect surroundings. The weather has been very mixed but we managed a long walk or bike ride every day thanks to your very helpful informative Beacons guide books. The Jaccuzi bath was heavenly for soaking our weary limbs. Everything about the cottage is excellent and we couldn't fault how well equipped it was. Thank you for the Welsh cakes and for making us feel so welcome and our stay so memorable.
