Dardy House, Crickhowell

Dardy House in Crickhowell, Mid Wales is a massive nine-bedroom mansion that sleeps 16 people. This former workhouse infirmary has been transformed into a luxury group accommodation with nine bathrooms - yes, that's one per bedroom! Perfect for large family gatherings or that annual friend getaway where nobody has to fight over shower time.

The property sits with jaw-dropping mountain views across the Welsh countryside. You're just a mile from the pub and 1.5 miles from shops in Crickhowell. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to Table Mountain and Sugar Loaf for hiking adventures. The Brecon Canal towpath offers gentle walks when you're feeling less energetic or slightly hungover from the night before.

Accommodation includes two super king rooms, two king-size rooms, two zip-and-link kings (flexible as twins), one double and two single rooms. Most bedrooms have smart TVs and en-suite facilities - one even features a free-standing bath for those who fancy a proper soak. The catering kitchen has a gas range with double oven, making group meals a breeze.

Nearby attractions include Big Pit at Blaenavon (industrial heritage that's actually interesting), The National Show Caves (underground adventures without the claustrophobia) and Brecon Mountain Railway (15 miles, 25-minute drive). Fishing is available on-site for those who prefer their activities sedentary.

The games room with pool table and the seven-person hot tub are crowd favorites at Dardy House. After a day exploring, nothing beats soaking in bubbling water with a glass of something cold while debating who's cooking dinner.
