  • "The newest site in Wales has made us think twice about booking again."

    The walking trails were not clearly labelled and they had run out of paper guides. Also the lack of vegetarian egg free food is also a problem

GARWNANT, BANNAU BRYCHEINIOG (BRECON BEACONS)

Gaze up at exceptionally starry skies in this Dark Sky Reserve and listen to the cheerful songs of willow warbler birds . Garwnant is tucked away in the natural beauty of the woodland on the Brecon Beacon hills with glimpses of beautiful valley views. It’s a spot with the space to stretch out and enjoy nature as the ultimate backdrop. Brecon is a bustling market town on the northern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It makes a great day trip if you want a taste of local culture. Stroll along the canal and browse independent shops, cafés and an 800-year-old cathedral. As a Dark Skies Reserve, the National Park is an incredible spot for seeing the Milkyway - you might even spy the Northern Lights. Looking for a serious adrenaline rush? Zoom down the fastest seated zip line in the world at Zip World Tower, just a 20-minute drive from the cabin.
