Stay far from the madding crowd at these seven secluded Welsh cottages

With one of the UK’s lowest population densities, dark skies that are just right for stargazing and secret waterfalls nestled peacefully amongst ancient woodland, there’s no better place than the Brecon Beacons for a relaxing getaway.

If you’re looking for somewhere secluded to hide out in that’s far from the everyday hustle and bustle, Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottages have compiled seven of the most remote retreats where you can recharge your batteries during 2022:

Forest Nest | Sleeps 2 – a cabin in the woods near Hay-on-Wye that’s surrounded by nature and comes with a firepit to gather round for an evening under the stars.

Yr Allt | Sleeps 3 – a characterful stone cottage with lots of original features, hidden deep in rural Powys near the Begwyns.

Woodman Parry’s Cottage | Sleeps 3 – a whitewashed fairytale cottage with a magical riverside setting and a cosy wood-burner.

Ashford Cottage | Sleeps 4 – this holiday home is perched high on a hillside above Talybont-on-Usk with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.

Ty Watton | Sleeps 6 – a secluded country cottage with gorgeous gardens in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park with waterfalls, lakes and reservoirs all close by.

Llynn-y-neadd | Sleeps 6 – a traditional 17th-century longhouse with original stone fireplaces and exposed oak beams that’s nestled within acres of ancient Welsh woodland.

Esgair Berfedd | Sleeps 7 – there are wildlife walks from the front door of this isolated cottage in Crychan Forest and picturesque valley views to enjoy.

This is just a small selection of the remote cottages available to book from Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottages for short breaks or longer holidays throughout the year.
