The Mallard is a handcrafted glamping hut built from Welsh oak and red cedar, sitting proudly on a working farm in Brecon, Mid Wales. This 5-star rated shepherd's hut offers spectacular views across the Brecon Beacons National Park and makes the perfect romantic getaway. Who needs a standard hotel when you can wake up to rolling hills and fresh country air?
Set in a Dark Sky Reserve, this spot offers incredible stargazing opportunities - perfect for when you've had a few too many glasses of the owner's homemade gin. The peaceful location means zero noise disturbance, just the occasional sheep telling you to get out of the hot tub because you've been in there three hours.
The clever open-plan design features a king-size bed with views across rolling fields, a fold-away table with cushioned bench seating and a wood burner to keep things toasty. There's even a loft double bed accessed by ladder (not for small children or after too much gin). The bathroom includes a full-sized shower, WC and basin - all the mod cons you'd expect from luxury glamping.
Nearby attractions include Pen-Y-Fan (30 minutes drive) for hiking enthusiasts, Zip World (30 minutes) for adrenaline junkies, plus fishing opportunities right on the doorstep. Mountain bikes are available to hire from the farm (£25 full day/£15 half day) to explore the stunning national park trails.
The Mallard is perfect for couples seeking a quirky escape with a touch of luxury. The private hot tub, BBQ deck and dog-friendly policy make this the ideal base for exploring the Welsh countryside - or just lounging around pretending you're outdoorsy.
