The Brecon Beacons and the fabulous Black Mountains are also within an easy day trip, all are fantastic for walking/trekking and cycling.

The beautiful and picturesque Wye Valley is under half an hour away and this is a super place to hire canoes and travel leisurely down the river, or walking/cycling the path along the river.
At the Stables you can grab a coffee outside on the patio first thing in the morning or last thing at night watching the sun go down. The dark skies are also perfect for star gazing.

The best holiday home we’ve stayed in for a long time. Owners are on hand, and always helpful. House is super clean, well equipped and dog friendly. Far enough up the country lanes to be quiet and feel remote, but close enough to civilisation to not feel cut off. Sunny patio garden in the day, and a place to spy into a huge dark sky at night. If you like the look of this property then don’t hesitate to book it. You won’t be disappointed with anything.
