    Good choice of cereals, toast, crumpets, fruit, coffee, tea and juice left to make breakfast. Off road space for my van, very useful. Lovely, friendly welcome.

I am a family support worker and currently work part time but love hosting The Shed and welcoming guests and look forward to making your stay a comfortable one.
My property is semi rural with stunning views of the Brecon Beacons and surrounding areas. Bike park Wales is within 2 miles, Pen y Fan is around 12 miles away and the Taf trail gives easy access to Cardiff and Brecon. There are various walks immediately from The Shed which are very scenic. Cyfarthfa castle is less than a mile away which offers stunning scenery, museum and coffee shop. A retail park is at the bottom of the him which also offers food halls as well as browsing the shops. Around 2 miles away you will find another venue which offers, cinema, bowling, skate park, Nando’s, frankie & Benny’s etc. Town is just over a mile way which has a fantastic choice of restaurants and pubs.
