Brecon Beacons Mini Break
 |
 Rugged mountains. Roaring fires. Perfect for romance. |
Date Description |
     Out of London |
Far away, in the Mountains of Wales, you’ll find Danyfan. A small, boutique bed and breakfast, cradled in the Brecon Beacons with the most delicious food and magnificent views.
I say it’s far away – it actually takes about 3 hours from London, but it feels like another world. If you want supper on the way somewhere nicer than Membury services, try the Foxhunter – an award winning pub near Abergavenny. From there it’s another 45minute drive to Danyfan.
You’ll probably be offered gin and tonic on the terrace when you arrive (if it’s warm enough) or in front of the fire, before retiring to one of the three bedrooms. Ask for room two if you want a four poster bed, or room one for the best views.
Brecon is made for walking so pack your boots. On Saturday morning, after a hearty Welsh breakfast, take a walk up Penyfan (the highest mountain south of Snowdonia) and its neighbouring peaks, Corn Du and Cribyn. On a clear day you can see the Bristol Channel, the Malvern Hills, Pembrokeshire – pretty much the whole world.
Arrive back to a restorative afternoon tea with scones, and perhaps a game of scrabble by the fire. For dinner, you can stay in and enjoy a home-cooked three course meal of home-grown or locally produced food in the conservatory, or eat at one of the nearby country pubs like the Felin Fach Griffin.
On Sunday, after a leisurely breakfast with the papers, you could take a trip down the beautiful river Wye in a double kayak, finishing your weekend with a late lunch at the River Café at Glasbury and a doze on the banks of the Wye, leaving it late enough to miss the traffic back into London.
The perfect romantic mini break!
