One of a trio of modern pods tucked in the wooded grounds of a village pub, this rural retreat provides a restful base for two adults and their canine companion. A dream destination for walkers and nature lovers, this stylish abode is located within the Brecon Beacons National Park. Spend your days roaming hilly trails and exploring historic sites, then return here for cosy evenings by the wood burner and relaxing evenings in the pub.
Built in 2024, this dog-friendly pod is crafted from bare wood and divided into four cosy rooms. The interior has a sleek minimalist charm with wooden floors, LED lights and atmospheric curved walls. Rest and recharge after adventurous days on the comfy sofa watching TV, toes and paws toasty by the wood burner. Rustle up simple meals in the kitchenette (or venture to the pub if you prefer), then snuggle under the covers in the cosy double bedroom for a restful night’s sleep. An en suite shower room with a heated towel rail offers a refreshing start each morning, while outside there’s a shared garden with picnic tables for al-fresco meals and drinks. Private parking is available for one car.
Hillwalkers can challenge themselves climbing up Sugar Loaf Peak (5.5 miles) or traverse the wooded path up The Skirrid (3.5 miles), while Mynddu Forest (8 miles) has miles of mountain bike trails. If you prefer messing about on the water, head to Llangorse Lake (18 miles), where you’ll find a selection of water sports. There’s rich history to be explored from medieval Llanthony Priory (7.7 miles) to latter-day Blaenavon coal museum (9 miles), while the market town of Abergavenny is worth a visit thanks to its reputation as a foodie paradise with gastro pubs and a superb local market.
