Very light, clean and beautiful when I walked in - there was even a tray for your outdoor shoes. Bed was extremely comfortable and the room was very tastefully decorated, with a welcome couple of Welsh cakes. There was shampoo and shower gel available in the ensuite. Fresh milk was available in a small fridge, which was very handy for other snacks I had bought for a hike.

Loved everything. Lovely hosts, secure bike storage that is only opened by the owners, clean and bright room with a little kitchen that made all the difference to my week long stay. Loved the fact that the mugs were big enough to hold a proper cup of tea, various different lighting options in the room including a little lamp that was almost like candlelight, shower was great, everything was thought of from a sewing kit and a book in the drawer, all the kitchen things you might need like a whisk, cheese grater etc, and a pint of milk in the fridge and delicious biscuits on arrival. Looking forward to returning next month!

My husband and I travel a lot across the UK, always within a similar budget. After staying at the Studios at Glenthorne, we both agreed that it was the best room we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. Not only was the room very cozy and stylishly decorated, but the attention to detail was simply incredible. There was even a steam iron and sewing kit in the room! On top of that, there was coffee, tea, delicious scones, and water and milk in the fridge. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, so we felt like at home. We were truly impressed 😊 The guest house is within 15 minutes walk from very nice pubs and restaurants.

Clean, and well equipped kitchen studio. Good shower with instant hot water. Well located for Brecon Beacon. Host Claire was very responsive and helpful, while leaving ample space for guests to get on. On road parking wasn’t an issue. The town itself wasn’t very interesting but the property made it worth it - for easy access to walks etc north.

Perfect find for a weekend exploring Bannau Brycheiniog. The hosts were welcoming and advised about parking prior to arrival (easy on road parking) which wasn't a problem at all. I stayed in a downstairs room with small kitchen and bathroom which had everything I could need. Oven, hob, fridge (with milk!) Microwave and all cooking equipment. This room wouldn't suit a couple easily too. Everything was really clean, well presented. Very happy stay.

Claire was so friendly and approachable from the moment I arrived and she also gave me privacy during my stay (the property is family owned). I had everything I needed in my studio including an excellent kitchen space. The location is really accessible to the Pen y Fan hiking route and very central to a lot of great driving/motorbike routes. This was also great value for money and couldn’t have asked for a better place. Definitely lucked out

The property offered great value for money and was presented beautifully, the hosts were very welcoming and kindly stored our pedal bikes for us over night. Chris and Claire had genuinely thought of everything. The property was immaculate throughout and clearly maintained to a high standard. I would absolutely recommend this property to friends and family. I certainly will be staying again in the future!

The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with a kitchenette. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the city center. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. I would highly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting

Everything! I really enjoyed stay here. They also thought of the little things that really make a big difference to creating a lovely experience/stay. If I'm back in Merthyr Tydfil, I'll book here again. Next time I may hire a car though, so I can get to Brecon Beacons and Wye Valley for hiking. Because I only had a couple days, and taking public transport takes much longer, I unfortunately missed out on the hiking that one can do around this area

The house is lovely and Claire an amazing host. Everything was clean and comfy and a lot of love has been put into every single detail. It was one of the most well equipped rooms I've ever stayed in and I felt at home.
