Very spacious, clean room and bathroom with a comfortable bed. This was a great space to sleep before setting out each day to explore the area. Amazing view from the room. The breakfast was lovely. The owners, Bob and Olha were extremely kind and friendly. The property has a beautiful garden and one afternoon when we decided to explore it, we caught Bob and Olha working on their new pool project. Apparently it is going to be a great place where guests can relax and have a picnic. We will definitely return in the future.
Bob & Ola were very welcoming, knowledgable about the area and they keep a very clean and tidy retreat.
Room & bathroom were lovely, views were amazing from the room with two large windows. We only stayed for one night but will definitely stay again.
Lovely secluded bed and breakfast with amazing surroundings and a couple that are possibly the nicest people I have ever met. Room had a warmth to it that reminded me of my nans house 20 years ago and it was incredibly retro. I usually like a more modern place to stay in but the hosts more than made up for the dated room. I would stay here again if I wanted a secluded relaxing night but couldn’t do more than a single night as I think I would miss the modern touches of home too much
We had a wonderful stay with Bob and Ohla. They were very welcoming and friendly and could not do enough to ensure we were happy and comfortable. The location is great, close to the Brecon hills and the coast, just be ready for some hill climbing! Breakfast was an option we took up and this was very tasty and lots of options available. Our dog was made very welcome and accomodated brilliantly
We would definitely recommend this to other couples or small families looking to spend time in and around the south west Wales area.
We had an amazing stay with Bob and Olah. So friendly and helpful, from start to finish. We were greeted with a lovely warm welcome, even to our five year old daughter 😊 Bob has a fantastic waterfall map that he designed himself and is happy to point you in the right direction. Olah’s breakfast was delicious and worth every penny (we would have happily paid more for it). They are so generous and thoughtful. We will definitely be returning, we’ve already spoken about coming back next year.

Loved the property, it felt like a home from home. Bob and Orlha were very accommodating with our dogs - including a surprise 3rd dog. We loved the garden, although overgrown at parts but this added to the feeling of seclusion and we enjoyed it as much as our dogs
Ohla & Bob lovely people ! They gave us the luxury room though we had booked for a semi luxury room, the room had beautiful Mountain Viewand also all the local information you need about the restaurants or take aways around.spacious room very clean.overall the property is in so peaceful it’s perfect countryside vibes.would love to come back!
We recently stayed at the Cilbrwyn Countryside Retreat for a couple of nights whilst visiting family in the area. We cannot recommend highly enough. Everything was perfect for us, the room, the area, the breakfast and the owners Bob and Olha, who go above and beyond to make your stay absolutely 10 out of 10. Tow of the nicest, friendliest people you could meet. Chris, Louise and Alex
Couldnt have been more accommodating. Bob even stayed up late to allow us to check in after running behind at our event. Lovely room and a lovely breakfast The surroundings are epic too. Such a beautiful area. We'll be back! 10/10
My Taxi driver of 30 years local experience could not find this hotel. Confirmation email did not arrive in "15 to 20 minutes", or for 2 hours - left train- no free wifi in Swansea. People living on Graig Road did not know of any hotel/ guest house on their street. Went to a different hotel on the beachfront - cheaper and nicer location. Received abusive message from manager of Cilbrwyn, Did not get deposit back. Really angry.
