Our guests recommend these activities to try during your stay with us.

The Brecon Beacons National Park website has a whole host of ideas for fun activities to try during your stay. They have two great visitor centers, one at Craig y Nos Country Park (just 4 miles down the road) and one in Libanus. Both offer some great walks, a cafe and toilets, and a great places to visit with children.

• The National Showcaves Centre for Wales at Dan yr Ogof is just 4 miles down the A4067 offers great caves, dinosaurs, Shire Horse centre and much more.
• For steam lovers try Brecon Mountain Railway near Merthyr Tydfil offers a lovely day out for all with all weather observation caoches, beautiful views across the Beacons and Taf Fechan resevoir.  There is a half-way stop with cafe, play area and time to ramble by the water.
• For chance to run around pretending to be nights in armour try visiting Carreg Cennin Castle. There is a great tea room and a chance to see some rare Long horn cattle.
• For pony trekking, climbing, zip wires Llangorse Multi Activity Centre has them all! and for younger children try Cantref Adventure Farm  with jungle swamp ride, animal feeding and so much more.
• Brecon offers two museums; The Regimental Museum of the Royal Welsh (Brecon) which includes, amongst other brilliant displays the story of the Zulu Wars and Y Gaer – Brecon’s new museum and cultural centre.  This is one of the finest and liveliest small museums in Wales.  First established in 1928 by the Brecknock Society, it occupies an historic building at the heart of the town.  The Museum offers fascinating glimpses of the past and has an exhibition programme that is exciting, varied and strongly features the work of contemporary artists living and working in Wales.
• The Big Pit offers an insight into Wales’ industrial past. Big Pit is a real coal mine and one of Britain’s leading mining museums with underground tours to give a real feel of how it must have felt to be a collier, pit head baths and exhibitions –  all our guests that have visited  said it was a fantastic, exciting  day out.
• Gardens – two of the best in Wales are on our doorstep.  Aberglasney Gardens ‘A garden lost in time’ this is the house and garden featured on television that have been lovingly restored and now offer a glorious day out.  The National Botanic Garden of Wales, on the other hand, is a purpose built garden (apart from the restored double walled garden) with an inspiring dome in the grounds in another Carmarthenshire mansion. Both gardens have cafes with tasty food and lovely gift shops.
