Escape to the woods in this unique retreat in the Brecon Beacons National Park for a wonderfully romantic holiday. Each room is full of character, from the wood burner in the living room to the exposed beams and bricks in the kitchen, ensuring that a stay here is one you’re sure to remember for many years to come. Pack a picnic and head off on an adventure to explore the awe-inspiring scenery surrounding the property, including trails beside the River Usk and views of the mountains.

Underfloor heating throughout the first floor as well as a charming wood burner create a cosy atmosphere where you can simply kick back and relax on the sumptuous living room sofa and watch a film. Decorated in a traditional style with unique trinkets, wall art and furniture coming together in perfect harmony, the kitchen is equipped with everything you’ll need to cook up a storm, as well as a dining table seating four for mealtimes. What’s more, the views out of the stable door and window into the forest make this a peaceful setting for an intimate dinner. Up a very steep staircase is the landing, furnished with a single bed if needed, which doubles as a great spot to sprawl out with a book in hand. Completing the floor is the master bedroom with a king-size bed and a beautiful, antique dressing table where you can sip your morning coffee whilst you get ready for the day.

Spend a day in the market town of Brecon (1 mile) perusing the independent shops, strolling beside the canal and soaking up the rich culture and history in this part of Wales to enjoy a slower pace of life. More active adventures can be found at Llangorse Lake (8 miles) where you can try your hand at a number of water sports from stand-up paddleboarding to pedalos. Or, why not tackle the iconic peak of Sugar Loaf mountain (22 miles) to admire the panoramic viewpoint from the summit?
