Rural Lodge 1

Brecon,
Powys,
Wales

Why you'll love staying here

Perfectly suited for couples seeking a romantic rural retreat, this luxurious lodge is nestled in a meadow on a working sheep farm just north of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

The cosy accommodation includes a compact yet well-equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare a delicious meal, ideal for al fresco dining on the veranda or a barbecue in the fresh country air. Inside, a comfortable sofa offers the perfect spot to relax and take in the views of sheep grazing in the fields and the river winding its way through the Honddu Valley. After a day of exploring, unwind in the covered hot tub, perhaps with a glass of something bubbly.

The surrounding area is a walker’s paradise, with scenic trails across the farm and beyond, offering panoramic views of the Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains, and Epynt hills. For more adventure, you can hike up Pen-y-Fan, the highest peak in southern Britain, cycle along the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal, or canoe on the River Wye. Alternatively, simply relax and soak up the charm of the local area with a visit to one of the friendly pubs or cafés nearby.

Looking towards the Brecon Beacons National Park, across the Honddu Valley, this luxurious lodge is one of only two in a field on a working sheep farm. It’s a great romantic bolthole for couples looking to retreat to a rural location. From the lodge itself, there are a number of walking trails where plenty of wildlife can be seen along the way, and some of the trails lead you to the local country pub to refuel. Pen y Fan, South Wales’ highest peak, is just 200 metres from the lodge. For avid golfers, Cradoc Golf Club is 3 miles away and boasts a stunning 18-hole course. Cantref Activity and Adventure Centre (8 miles) is another great option for activities for anyone wishing to try horse riding in such a beautiful setting.

Accessed via three steps, the single-storey lodge is fully open plan, with light pouring in through the windows into the spacious area. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, the small but well-equipped kitchen has all you need to cook up a feast, and the dining table with four chairs allows you to enjoy the views while you eat. Spend lazy evenings cuddled up on the sofa (which can be converted into a double sofa bed on request) reading books, playing board games or watching films with a view of the countryside out of the window. Tucked away in one corner is a comfortable double bed, and there is also a shower room where you can refresh after a long day of exploring.

Through a set of patio doors is a balcony complete with a table and chairs to dine alfresco. Best of all, just next to the lodge is the hot tub which has been made private with three enclosed sides and a wide-open view of the stunning surroundings. Beautiful Sky Line Star gazing from the cabins is a must, also available now on request is a gas BBQ.
