The Old Stables in Radnor Forest is peaceful, quiet and very remote, which was exactly what we wanted. It was straightforward to find using What3Words and Apple Maps. There was a helpful video guide provided also. The accommodation is simple and functional, with comfortable beds and all the esentials needed for a short stay and comfortable for our family of four. Theres no internet and only limited mobile signal, so its ideal if you want a proper break from technology, just have an itinerary planned, as its harder to organise things off the cuff. There are plenty of walks straight from the door, with easy acces to the forest and surrounding hills. Communication from the host was exceptional throughout, lightning fast responses, helpful, friendly and personable. The area has lots of wildlife, and with very little light pollution, the night sky is excellent. Zero yoga occurred, but we all left like a connected family and that was special.
