Olive Barn at Cwmhir Court
Simply stunning. Just returned from the best two night stay we’ve had through Airbnb. Rebecca’s place is simply stunning. Everything for your stay has been so well thought through, from a lovely arrival touch of cake, fresh coffee and milk to have every utensil and kitchen amenity to home cook. We stayed with a new born baby, 2 children under 5 and grandparents. The barn provides more space than you could imagine, providing areas of the barn for chill out time, naps and also space for us adults to wind down with a glass or 2 of wine, without worrying about waking the children. The barn is spotless, very well furnished and immaculately clean. Rebecca as a host is outstanding, from local things to do, places to visit and very fast responsive times. Nothing was a problem and set us up for the perfect family weekend away. The barn is secluded, private and just a delight. We’re looking at dates to return in the future. Thank you! Family of 9,

Self catering 3 bed bungalow.
Great host and a great house to get around in Porthcawl so central to everything. Dave and Malcolm were the most helpful people and there was always a quick response to any queries. Would definitely stay again 😃

Cosy House on the Edge of Brecon Beacons
Perfect, nice and clean house. Close to the steam train as we wanted to go visit there.

Quirky cosy town house
Jemma’s place was ideal for our visit to the area.

The Scrumpy Hut - outdoor bath & beautiful views
Could not recommend this place enough. Loved the views of the mountains. We all loved the outside bath. Cabin immaculately clean and tidy. No WiFi, just brilliant! Wanted to get away from it all. Local pubs and walks fantastic. Was looking at local Ley lines in the area. Twin valley ley lines and pilgrimage. Local medieval churches stunning. Laura an excellent host. Cider and Apple juice on site with shop. Lovely to to have a welcome note for kids and me. Kids loved the outside bath and also the bunk bed. And very accommodating with same day/late booking. Thanks again.

House slps 22 . Close to Bredenbury Court
The house was as described. A terrific social space, in a very secluded location, with absolutely stunning views. The only negative is we didn’t book enough time here. Some members of my party are already plotting our return. Sarah made check in easy, her comms were clear, and even gave us a little extra time to get out in the morning. Cannot recommend this place enough.

16th century farmhouse with hot tub - sleeps 10
The farmhouse is located in mid Wales and the views from the farm are nothing short of incredible. We were able to see the baby goats and various farm animals, the donkeys were a particular favourite of mine. The hosts were incredible and we were made to feel right at home. It was lovely to unwind and relax We will definitely be returning

Large Seaside Home with Hot Tub for 8 Guests
The home was beautiful, very spacious and had great views of the sea from the garden and bedrooms. There were lots of things to do in the home with children, and the hot tub was a great place to relax in the evenings. Within walking distance, there were many small shops, pubs and the beach and lots of other places to have days out a short drive away. The hosts were very helpful with any enquires we had and came out the next day to help amend these. Would definitely recommend for families who are looking for a peaceful and fun get away.
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.
