Discover Cartref: Your Home Away From Home in the Heart of the Brecon Beacons
Tucked away in the stunning landscapes of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park lies a hidden gem that perfectly blends comfort, space, and the freedom of the great outdoors. Welcome to Cartref—the Welsh word for “home”—a stylish and spacious rental cottage set within the peaceful grounds of Nant Ddu Lodge & Spa.
Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a walking holiday with friends, or simply craving a change of scene in nature, Cartref offers everything you need for a memorable escape in the Welsh countryside.
Space to Relax, Room to Breathe
Cartref is a detached modern house designed with both comfort and convenience in mind. With space to sleep up to nine guests, it’s ideal for larger families or groups. The interior is bright and airy, with a welcoming family lounge that invites you to kick back in front of a 62” HD TV—perfect after a day hiking the hills or exploring nearby waterfalls. Patio doors open out onto a generous garden, where you can soak in the fresh Welsh air, dine alfresco, or simply enjoy a morning coffee with birdsong as your soundtrack.
The dining room, seating nine, also opens directly to the garden, making it a wonderful hub for shared meals and long, chatty breakfasts. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you’d expect (and more), including both gas and electric hobs, two fridge/freezers, a dishwasher, washer and dryer, coffee machine, and all the essentials to keep the cooks in your party happy.
Entertainment for All Ages
One of Cartref’s standout features is its dedicated video games room, complete with a 65” TV and PlayStation—an absolute hit with kids and teens (and, let’s be honest, plenty of grown-ups too). Each of the three bedrooms is fitted with a 42” TV, offering everyone their own little retreat for lazy mornings or quiet evenings.
- Bedroom One: 1 super king bed (can be converted to twin)
- Bedroom Two: 1 super king bed (also twinable) + large, adult-sized bunk beds
- Bedroom Three: 1 super king bed
The house is fully heated and easily adjustable, keeping things cosy all year round.
The Best of Both Worlds
Step outside and you’ll find ample private parking and a large, enclosed garden perfect for games, BBQs, or unwinding under the stars. And just a short stroll away? The fantastic facilities of Nant Ddu Lodge & Spa—a real bonus for anyone keen on a spot of pampering or a good meal out without the need to drive.
The Ideal Base for Adventure
Located in the heart of one of Wales’ most spectacular national parks, Cartref is perfectly placed for walking, cycling, sightseeing, and outdoor adventures. Whether you’re scaling Pen y Fan, enjoying a scenic drive, or simply relaxing in the spa, you’ll find that Cartref truly lives up to its name: a welcoming and well-equipped home away from home.
So if you’re dreaming of wide skies, mountain air, and a stylish retreat to return to each evening, Cartref is calling.
