Property code: OC-515921

Retreat to this stylish glamping hut nestled in the scenic national park of the Brecon Beacons for a real romantic holiday with your loved one and your four-legged friends. With so much to explore during the day and evenings snuggled by fire light, this lovely stay even has a hot tub for nights under the stars.

Handcrafted from Welsh oak and red cedar wood, this unique glamping hut welcomes you and your canine companions to get super cosy in the open-plan space, which is bright and cleverly designed for the ultimate stay. Watch the world go by from the king-size bed, whilst your waggy-tailed pals catch a stick or two outside. The kitchen and dining space consists of a fold-away table for a romantic tea for two, while a cosy wood burner heats up the space and provides delightful cuddles with double patio doors that provide views to stunning countryside vistas. Kick back after a long day of exploring and whilst pups want to carry on the fun, the windows and double doors provide the chance to keep a watchful eye on the antics of your canine companions right from the comfort of the hut. For an alfresco feast, head outside and sizzle up a storm on the BBQ before sipping bubbles in the hot tub.

Situated at the bottom of a valley and within a working organic farm, you and your furry friends can choose from a range of walks, including the ascent up the Brecon Beacons to the summit, or take the historic Brecon Mountain Railway (25 miles). For those keen to try the local cuisine, the charming market town of Brecon is 7 miles from the property and boasts a wealth of eateries, including The Three Horseshoes pub, which presents high quality Welsh cuisine in front of a stone fire.

Its set in a great location with no noise disturbance and not that much light pollution which makes it great for star gazing. I would highly recommend staying here.

This Property was brilliant! They had everything you could want there so no need to pack anything but clothes and some food. Was super dog-friendly. Being set on a large field made it perfect for my dog to walk around whilst we are at the cabin. The hosts made sure the place was spotless for us and they included booklets with local shops, restauranRead morets, etc, and all things you can do in the area. They had a large bowl and a small one for your dog with a stand. There was plenty of room inside. The bed was super comfy! And they supplied plenty of BBQ and log burner supplies to keep you going for a good week . We have already booked our next stay with them next month ! Very very happy with our stay and would recommend to anyone Hide

Perfect location and really enjoyed the hot tub. Some soft seats would be a bonus but overall a great glamping experience - there was a wasp nest in the left of the drive in the bank just for info

Lovely stay at the Mallard. Bed was very comfy, used the hot tub and the BBQ facilities. Bathroom was good and shower had hot running water. Check-in very easy, property was left open for us to arrive. Was perfect for our 3 night stay in Wales. About half an hour drive from attractions such as Pen-Y-Fan and Zip World.
