Family-friendly holiday rentals in Crickhowell

Loved staying here for a second year in a row. The hideaway hut is tranquil and the perfect break from a busy life. Love nothing more than relaxing in the hot tub and listening to nature surrounding us. Thanks again for another perfect weekend away!

We’ve just returned from the most delightful short break in a beautiful college cottage tucked away in the heart of Wales. The cottage itself was a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comfort — tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean, and full of character. Surrounded by rolling hills and the peaceful sounds of nature, it felt like a true escape from the everyday. This little haven gave us the peace and quiet we craved, along with the warmth and welcome of a truly special place. We left feeling rested, inspired, and already dreaming of our return xx

Claire's place was perfect for our needs as a base for a walk in the Brecons. It had a well equipped kitchen, and even Sky TV. Claire was a great host, responsive, easy to contact, had some local recommendations and even gave us a lift to the pub.

Beautiful location perfectly clean and comfortable . Slight disturbance due to busy road noise but other than that the perfect place to stay.

We had a fantastic stay! The host was absolutely lovely - responsive, welcoming, and even came out to meet us, which made us feel right at home. The space was clean and full of thoughtful, personal touches that really set it apart. The hot tub was definitely a highlight - perfect for relaxing after a day out. We also really appreciated the EV charger, which made traveling so much easier. The home was very spacious and beautifully maintained, with great attention to detail throughout. Would 100% stay again - highly recommended!

We have had a lovely few days staying here. Was exactly as described and we made use of the hot tub and fire pit every day. The communal building would be very useful on wet days or larger gatherings. Will come back another time.

Came here for my wife’s birthday weekend. Started with just us, the dog and the baby which the place was perfect for a little family break but for the last 2 nights a family member had the baby and our friends arrived and we had a great time in the hot tub, at the local pubs and walking and boating in the lake. The place was gorgeous and we had to perfect weather to make use of the spacious garden and bbq. Couldn’t fault the place, we met Deri’s mother Marg and the two farm dogs Max and Jess and they couldn’t have been friendlier. Couldn’t have been happier and we will hopefully be back!

A lovely house, spacious enough for the four of us and our dog. The views from the garden were superb, the Hot Tub was checked daily and ran perfectly. A lovely location, great Hosts and we had a fantastic time.

A spectacular location, very welcoming and hospitable host with lots of information and recommendations about things to do in the local area. Beautiful accommodation and a very sweet dog. Thanks so much for having us!

I loved everything about this place, the bed was very comfy and the location was perfect. The bath and shower are wonderful and so is the soap and shower gel and linens available. I loved the eco friendly toilet paper too. Two points to note: there was no chopping board I could see? Fortunately most of my food was already prepared so it was not a big deal. And I believe it is the hot water tank that makes a noise intermittently? So, if you're a light sleeper like me, you'll need ear plugs despite being in very quiet and peaceful countryside. I loved my stay here it was very special and I would stay again when visiting the brecons!

Really lovely place to stay, very comfortable space and everything you need. Surroundings are beautiful which can be enjoyed from the balcony. Very easy to walk into Hay and to get to the festival. Jan and Andrew were lovely hosts. Thank you very much.

Judith was great, as I had not read that the oven was a small box type. I brought a massive lasagne and I think it was slightly beyond the oven’s capability. After 40 mins when it was still not cooked through, I messaged Judith and she put it in her oven. She knocked later with my steaming hot perfectly cooked lasagne and a smile on her face. She was very helpful.

Lovely clean spacious with great choice of bed linen. Soak and sleep white cotton. Comfortable beds. Great shower downstairs. I didn’t use the upstairs one to say. Well stocked kitchen Lovely coffee machine Peaceful with good outdoor space.

Station House has been sympathetically restored and its history is well documented in the many photographs dotted around the place. It’s also a wonderful little oasis for visitors and wildlife alike with lots to explore right on the door step. Station House is 100% recommended for anyone looking for some R & R.

Comfortable and well equipped accommodation in a quiet location. Well placed for exploring Hay and the beautiful surrounding countryside.

Lovely cottage, big bonus is electric car charging and dog friendly. Comfy beds, real fire place and good board games. We had a lovely time

We had a fantastic week here, the views and setting were just amazing. The accommodation was clean and cosy, Danielle and Tom were great hosts- so friendly and very very responsive and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble! The kids loved the swimming pool and its long opening hours. Although there were other families staying in the other cottages it always felt very tranquil and peaceful with us often having exclusive use of the pool. It was great having a washing machine to use daily, as well as lots of other bonuses. We will definitely be back!

A place with the WOW factor. Scenery is just amazing. Beautiful little spot with the added bonus of a pool and our own private hot tub. Relaxing environment and spacious surroundings. Totally recommend.

It’s a lovely tranquil place and was everything we needed while we visited the Royal Welsh winter fair. Check in was easy the apartment was lovely and warm for when we arrived and the instructions left were clear and easy to follow The only negative thing I’d have to say is that on the Air B&B listing it puts the cottage in the middle of Builth but it’s actually 15-20 minutes away But this is definitely a lovely spot and I will recommend to anyone who needs a place to stay

This place is in such a beautiful location, lovely lake to stroll around and so peaceful. I didn’t realise there were quite as many rooms as I booked via Airbnb but you don’t hear too much from other guests. The pool is a lovely bonus and games room. Just be wary that the wifi doesn’t reach the rooms if that’s something you rely on.

We recently stayed at Lake View Cottage and had a truly relaxing experience. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful, with stunning views of the lake and peaceful, natural scenery all around. The cottage had a lovely sense of privacy, making it feel like our own little retreat. The swimming pool was a big hit, especially with the kids—they had a blast! It was the perfect mix of comfort and tranquility. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy quality time with family.

Sure! Here's a warm, thoughtful Airbnb review template you can customize depending on your experience: --- We had the most wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Wales. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home—the place is beautifully kept, spotlessly clean, and full of character. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and peaceful stay, including a well-equipped kitchen, cosy living area, and a very comfortable bed. The location is perfect—tucked away in nature, yet still close enough to explore the local town and walking trails. Waking up to the sound of birds and enjoying our coffee with a view of the hills was truly magical. Our host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and full of great recommendations for things to do in the area. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and experience the beauty of rural Wales.

Nice lovely cottage, with plenty to do nearby. Very clean and well maintained.

Beautiful house in amazing surroundings. The kids loved the piano and musical instruments. Pool was fab and the recommendations really helpful.
