  • "Forest holidays is a great place go go to get away from it all."

    The consistent cabin builds across all sites makes for a feeling of reassuring familiarity even when visiting different sites, as an autistic person this is very reassuring to have an element of sameness, something that is familiar and known, almost like a second home. I would recommend Forest Holidays to other autistic people for this reason, and also for how peaceful it can be. I like the hot tub to warm up in after a day of hiking.

Your home away from home

Forest Holidays Silver Birch cabin is one of 43 cabins set within Garwnant, Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.

Experience a one-of-a-kind break with all the comforts of home, easy dining options and activities and extras that will make it an unforgettable holiday in nature.

Escape into a corner of calm in the forest, with muted shades of slate blue and soft grey complemented by weathered oak furniture and floor-to-ceiling views, in a cabin built to sit sensitively within the woodland. A great choice for group getaways and families, the Silver Birch has everything you need for your self-catering break, with high-spec fittings, botanical inspired accents, fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor hot tub overlooking the trees.

Surrounded by Welsh woodland and close to wild waterfalls, historic coal mines and ancient cairns, find industrial heritage carved into the landscape at Bannau Brycheiniog. As a Dark Sky Reserve, it’s the perfect place for some stargazing from your hot tub, or to hear the cheerful songs of willow warbler birds. Open your cabin door and step straight out into 400 acres of forest, bordered by mountains and moorland – scale Pen y Fan mountain close by, discover Waterfall Country and Pontsticill Reservoir, explore caves, or fly above an old coal mine at Zip World Tower. With canoeing and kayaking, rock climbing and abseiling, caving and gorge walking, this is a real adventurer’s choice – and with plenty of cosy pubs and Penderyn Distillery close by too, it’s also the perfect place to relax amongst the wonderful Welsh scenery.

In the forest, book a range of Forest Ranger activities that will help you connect with nature and the forest around you – from Nature Tots for under-5s, to Wildlife Wonders and Survival Skills, for any age.

When you book a Forest Holiday you're supporting nature too – they're stewards of 244.5 hectares of forest, managing the land for conservation and creating spaces in nature for people to stay.

As a certified B Corp, their business has been recognised as a force for good. The cabin you are booking is a Garwnant Silver Birch cabin.
