Overview

We simply can’t get enough of this centre. A fantastic true country house walking centre in the heart of the Brecon’s; unheard of! Both times we have stayed here everyone loved it. Spacious public rooms, attractive gardens and the ‘piece de resistance’ for a dedicated walking centre, at the end of a hard day’s walk, a swimming pool open until dinner time. Nestled at the foot of the Brecon’s highest point Pen y Fan you will enjoy a feast of great walking. This is going to be a dedicated Brecon Beacons weekend and will therefore spend both days tackling the best of the Brecon Beacon’s National Park.  On the Saturday you will confront a real treasure and delight the Brecon Beacon’s themselves and on Sunday both walks will be the nearby Llangorse Lake and ridges. There is also an option to book an extra night so you can take it easy and drive back at your leisure.

2 nights accommodation, 2 evening meals, 2 breakfasts, 2 picnic lunches, 2 guided walks each day - extra night available at additional cost

Location & Itinerary

Is this for me?

There are two walks each day led by professional & knowledgeable walking guides. The hard walk is around 8-10 miles with up to 3,000 ft ascent (please be realistic about your own fitness and undertake the walk that will give you the most pleasure) & the easier walk of  6-8 miles and 1,500ft. Own cars may be taken to the start of the walks.
