The Ramble Cottages in Brecon Beacons National Park, Powys

The Ramble Cottages Self-Catering

You won't know which way to turn with the Brecon Beacons' green rolling hills as the backdrop for these three stone cottages on a working farm. Accommodating up to nineteen guests, the two adjoining cottages and one detached cottage are a perfect base for large families and groups of hikers looking for a rural escape to Wales' Epynt mountain ranges. Soothe and soak your aching muscles in one of the two hot tubs or warm up in the sauna after a long day mountain biking or exploring the farmland and woods. Enjoy a drink on the deck whilst the children entertain themselves in the games room and playground. With space for fourteen people at the dinner table, serve up food prepared on the barbecue via the farmhouse style kitchen and come together for convivial hearty meals. As the evening draws to a close, cosy up by the wood burner before heading to one of the quaint bedrooms for a restful night's sleep under the exposed beams overhead, ready for another day full of adventure. With more walking trails and footpaths than you can shake a hiking pole at and within a thirty-minute drive from the ancient castle remains in the spa town of Builth Wells, there's so much to see and do in just about every direction. Secluded yet conveniently located, there's also the 'Town of Books', otherwise known as Hay on Wye to discover, plus the quaint village of Brecon less than a twenty-minute drive from these ever-so bucolic and charming digs.
