Ptarmigan Gilestone Farm, Brecon

Ptarmigan Gilestone Farm sits proudly in Talybont-on-Usk within the Brecon Beacons National Park. This 5-star lodge is one of four exclusive retreats perched on elevated ground with jaw-dropping views across the Usk valley. Perfect for couples who want natural beauty without sacrificing luxury.

The farm location gives you direct access to stunning Welsh countryside. Take walks from your doorstep to wildlife ponds or tackle the challenging peaks of Pen y Fan. Fancy two wheels? The Taff Trail offers excellent mountain biking routes. After a day outdoors, the village has two pubs for a well-earned pint. Who needs Netflix when you've got those views? Though you'll have Wi-Fi too if you insist on posting jealousy-inducing photos.

This single-bedroom lodge punches above its weight with premium features. The bedroom boasts a king-size bed with garden views. The bathroom? A double walk-in rain shower with his and hers sinks. The kitchen comes fully equipped with everything from dishwasher to washing machine. Outside, your patio area includes table, chairs and BBQ.

Nearby attractions include Talybont Reservoir (1 mile, 5 minutes), spectacular Blaen-y-Glyn waterfalls (4 miles, 10 minutes), Brecon Mountain Railway (12 miles, 25 minutes) and Brecon town with its cathedral and shops (7 miles, 15 minutes).

Ptarmigan Gilestone Farm offers pure romantic escape with private hot tub stargazing. Book it before your friends do and smugly tell them later how amazing it was.
