Located on a 100-acre working farm, in a gorgeous rural location, this property is the perfect place for a large family or group holiday in the Brecon Beacons. Set in the quiet village of Crai, nature lovers will be in their element as this is red kite country and these beautiful birds can often be seen swooping in the skies above. The lodge also offers half a mile of private fishing and there are walking and cycling routes in abundance. Brecon Beacons National Park is right on the doorstep and you can challenge yourself to climb Pen y Fan, 12 miles away, explore the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (7 miles) or hike some of the 90-kilometre Epynt Way with paths running directly from the cottage door. As night falls, the low levels of light pollution here mean that the dark skies above light up with stars – a perfect way to finish the day.
