Overall an enjoyable stay at a great location just inside the south side of Brecon Beacons national park.
There were just four of us and so we had plenty of room. The cottage is well equipped but would benefit from a bit of maintenance to keep in good working order. The neighbouring Penderyn distillery is well worth a visit if you like or would consider trying Welsh whisky. Issues 1. Cleanliness - the cleaning was only superficial with dust/debris still in corners and under beds, the stair carpet was covered in dirt/debris, the dining table separator covered all sorts of food and other debris. 2. The blinds and curtains had almost no effect on lowering the sunlight entering the rooms. After 6am it was almost impossible to remain asleep - I hate to think what summertime would be like. Inaccuracies 3. There are two pubs in the village, neither of which is within a 5min walk. The Red Lion (good food but expensive) is about 8min up a very steep hill. The Lamb Hotel is about 12min along the main road and has a small bar with well-kept and cheap beer and a friendly landlord (no food). Improvements 4. The mattresses in the room next to the main bathroom should be changed - it caused back pain to the person using it. 5. Even though there were only 4 of us, there were not enough quantity and variety of glasses to use. 6. The shed lock was difficult to open and should be cleaned/replaced. 7. The property would benefit from a proper shower. 8. Even though I am reasonably fit, I struggled to get out of the bath in the main bedroom. 9. Only five coffee capsules were left with the coffee machine. This made it only a gimmick as it could not be used each day. 10. The sliding cupboard in the kitchen would not close properly and made access to the plate cupboard annoying. 11. Some of the door handles/catches for the bedrooms and bathrooms need maintenance/replacement as these often stuck.

We don't usually submit reviews, however we felt that the description of this property oversold it and it was in need of some tender loving care.
The points we want to draw to the owner's attention are noted below: 1. Cleanliness - crockery, tea pot and cutlery needed to be washed prior to use. Previous guests appear to have merely rinsed these items and put them away rather than throughly wash them. The washing machine also dirty resulting in marks on light coloured clothing. Rubber door seal needed cleaning and perhaps too much washing powder was used in previous washes! Spiders webs with dust were found in the bedroom and bathroom. The radiator in the bedroom was full of hair and dust. 2. Shower- the thermostat could not be adjusted, paint splatters on the shower tray 3 Bedding - flannelette sheet and pillowcases on the bed, far too warm in the height of summer 4 Other internal issues - clock in kitchen not working, fridge freezer old, fridge door doesn't always close although there is a note on the fridge saying push to close, drawer in freezer had been broken and was glued back together rather than replaced, dificult to control temperature in fridge due to its age, either freezing or not cold enough. Fruit bowl on shelf broken and although kitchen well equiped we found a lot of chipped crockery. Kitchen stools too high to comfortably sit at the breakfast bar. 5. Back garden - weeds in back seating area. Recycling bins take up a lot of room and would benefit from being all together in a stacking device. 6. Parking- Its not a quiet street, its very narrow with cars parked on both sides and no turning space at the end. Parking was a challenge and other residents asked us to move our car from the door.

La Cala is spacious, the open plan lounge kitchen area and the quiet sitting room excellent, the kitchen is well equipped and the property is well situated.
We enjoyed our stay. Some things that would make La Cala better; the mattresses on all but the bed in the main bedroom were very poor, and uncomfortable with springs sticking into the occupants in some cases - this is disappointing given that clients have pointed this out over at least 6 years of reviews. Our duvet, we discovered on stripping the beds at the end of our stay, was badly stained, including with blood and the mattress protector worn out. Also commented on in previous reviews are sticking doors- an easy thing to remedy - the doors to the ensuite bathroom and one of the twin rooms had this problem and one of our party - a strong young male - had great difficulty getting out of his room on the first night, after which he left it ajar. Another area, commented on by many previous reviewers is the shower arrangements. There is no proper shower in the house despite there being plenty of space for one. The slipper bath in the ensuite bathroom is very difficult for elderly people to get in and out of and if you are tall is uncomfortable to sit in. It is very difficult to stop water from the hand held shower spraying all over the floor. It is a lovely house for families - there were 7 adults, 1 toddler and 2 babies in our party- so a few items for children would be a useful addition - eg high chair and cot. With the improvements suggested above this would be a wonderful holiday venue.

Lovely hosts and lovely cottages. Some improvements that might help but not essential. Location would be 5 if there were better pathed foot and dog walks on the farmland itself - these are easy to create around the hedge lines. The velux blinds in the main bedroom were broken and would be useful to fix (especially in this unusual heat) For this particular cottage there appears to be no specific rear or exterior seating whereas the two adjoining cottages did have rear seating . In this unusual heat it would be useful in the future to have stand up fans supplied for each bedroom . These really are nice to haves and are polite suggestions only. The farm is lovely and so much to do within 20 mins drive and I would stay again but probably in one of their bigger cottages with outside seating. We had a young baby girl (4 months) and a large young active dog (used to long off lead walks) and the suggestions made are because of that. Hope this helps and than you to our hosts and to best of wales for all being very helpful .

We have just returned from La Cala after a 7 night stay for a party of 8.
The location of the house is brilliant for walks in the Brecon Beacons and the size of the house is fantastic but could require some improvement. We felt with the size of the house the space could utilised alot more ie king size beds and bigger sofas. The beds felt old and very uncomfortable and could also use more neutral bedding. Just a few tweaks could really make this house amazing. A clothes airer would be a great help as it has an outdoor rotary line but you can't guarantee good weather in Wales so we were a bit stuck. A few bits in the kitchen felt a bit dated and could do with updating. The previous occupants hadn't put the bins out on time so we had almost a week of bin bags outside the driveway and every morning we had to tidy all the litter up in the street as the crows had pecked open the bin bags. All in all it was a pleasant stay but would only stay here again if it was updated and the space was utilised more. Great pub at the top of the hill though!
