Olive Barn at Cwmhir Court

MichelleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Beautiful barn, set near Baskerville Hall (inspiration for the title of the Conan-Doyle story) and a few minutes drive from Hay-on-Wye with its marvellous cafes and bookshops. Property is fabulous, warm and cosy in the cold weather but can open right up in the warmer weather (of which we had both during our stay). Property was very spacious with the two sitting rooms and long dining table. Bedrooms were beautiful and there were enough bathrooms for the non en-suite roomers to feel like we weren’t tripping over each other. Communication was great, we had a number of questions, all were answered quickly and clearly. Definitely value for money for such a nice property, and everything was spotless on arrival. Flowers and personal stop-by to check everything was ok were lovely touches on arrival. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Seaside Cottage with Stunning Views

KatieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My mum often visits ogmore-by-sea to remind her of my late dad who we lost in 2023 so booking the cottage was the perfect present for her birthday. The cottage was homely and had everything we could possibly need inside. Annabelle was so quick to respond to any queries it made the whole surprise for my mum easier to arrange. The views from the cottage are nothing short of spectacular. When we arrived it was quite windy so we opened the windows turned all the lights off and listened to the waves crashing by candlelight. When we woke up there were no cars in the carpark so we walked (in our pyjamas and waterproofs) across the cliff top to enjoy the views of the sun on the water and even saw a rainbow… this was my dad! we are already hoping to book again for the summer to take my two young children back and enjoy a family break without any shops, soft plays and parks just pure beauty at its finest. Thank you so much Annabelle

We had an incredible time at Durstone Cottages. The layout was perfect for a large group, having 2 kitchens was so helpful, and it felt really private. We did a wonderful walk to a lovely local pub, and really enjoyed the games room. Great for a hen/stag do or large group!

Your guide to Brecon Beacons

Welcome to the Brecon Beacons

Encompassing more than 500 miles of dramatic mountains, escarpments, valleys, and incredible views, the Brecon Beacons National Park is one of Wales’ national treasures. It stretches from the antique-and-foodie lovers’ town of Llandeilo in the west to the haven for book lovers, Hay-on-Wye, in the east, right on the border with England. Further south, the park stretches to the former industrial heartlands of Merthyr Tydfil and Pontypool, taking in heritage railways, lakes, and canals.

If you’re heading to the Beacons for walking, Pen y Fan is the Beacons’ highest mountain, near the handsome market town of Brecon. Nearby, Corn Du and Cribyn are popular too. If you want quieter hikes, there are plenty more peaks to explore, from Fan Brycheiniog to to the west, with stunning views of nearby ridges, to the jagged double-headed oddity of Ysgyryd Fawr to the east, from which you can see the River Severn sparkle. Pretty towns like Abergavenny, overlooked by the Sugar Loaf and the Blorenge, and Crickhowell, sitting under Table Mountain, offer gentle urban respite from rural adventures.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Brecon Beacons

The Brecon Beacons are glorious to visit all year round, although only professional walkers would be advised to tackle the toughest trails and peaks in the winter, and then with canny regard to the weather. Spring brings walking festivals to the pretty towns of Crickhowell and Talgarth, while in May, the Hay-on-Wye literary festival descends, as do internationally renowned authors to the many bookshops in the town (there are 24 at the last count). August brings music to Brecon with the internationally popular Jazz Festival, and to Glanusk Park, a few miles outside Crickhowell, for the award-winning Green Man music festival, while Abergavenny hosts its chef-filled food festival in September. Hay holds another literary weekend in late November, before Christmas beds in — although the hills and the market towns are still there, and still open, for your enjoyment.


Top things to do in Brecon Beacons

Gospel Pass

Right at the eastern edge of the Beacons is the highest road pass in Wales. It rises from the Llanthony Valley (home to a stunning 12th-century abbey) and the artists’ hamlet of Capel-y-Ffin, to a single track with handy passing places for cars up to the high peaks of Hay Bluff and Twmpa. The views to the west are astonishing, taking in the whole span of the Beacons on a clear day.

Stargazing

The Brecon Beacons is an International Dark Sky Reserve, one of only 18 confirmed in the world. This means it possesses an exceptional quality of nocturnal environment for stargazing. If there aren’t any clouds in the late afternoon, cancel your evening plans, and enjoy uninterrupted views of constellations and the Milky Way.

Waterfalls

To the southwest of the Beacons are the waterfalls of Pontneddfechan, trailing from the gorgeously named Afon Mellte (Lightning River). Paths take visitors alongside wooded, steep-sided gorges: the gradients are flat, but wear sensible shoes. Further north, the pretty village of Talybont-on-Usk offers a more challenging hike in a glacial valley. Craft galleries and cafes nearby help you wind down gently afterwards.
