Brecon Beacons Hotels

The Brecon Beacons mountain ranges of South Wales are some of the most popular locations for walkers in the world, and certainly in the UK. The old red sandstone peaks are famous for hikers everywhere, and the trails south of Brecon are a perfect spot to stay if you’re looking for a country ramble.

Famous walks

The countryside here has plenty of variation, so whether you feel in the mood for a leisurely stroll or a hard core trek you’re well catered for. Leave the car at home and take a bus to one of the many starting points of the local strolls. Take in the scenery with the freedom to stop at one of the little pubs along the way if the mood strikes, and simply return to the bus stop for collection later on. If you want to learn more about the walks, take an audio tour. You’ll be drip-fed interesting facts as you make your way around the countryside and discover just how the local land was formed. If that wets your appetite then geo-trails are an exciting way to move through paths worked in by local weathering. They’ll show you a host of types of scenery.

Digs on your travels

Brecon Beacons hotels are a perfect fit for the idyllic scenery. Typical Welsh bed and breakfasts are all over, so choose from places like the Usk and Railway Inn of Stennybridge, where you’ll have the perfect base camp to explore the local scenery. If you’re looking for something a little posher then the top-draw and plush surroundings at The Plough Inn of Rhosmaen could be a great fit for you.

Once you’ve chosen the right hotel for your retreat be sure to sample the local pubs. The town of Brecon has some of the finest Welsh pubs and cafés around. You’ll be able to start your day at the Bijou Deli Café, a quaint and quiet place just off a small town street, and return from you activities later on to The Shoe Makers Arms to grab a pint.
