At the foot of the Cambrian Mountains, an ancient whitewashed cottage with cosy, light-flooded interiors – a perfect rural bolthole for two

Small, snug and beautifully furnished with pops of earthy colour, a roaring wood-burner and a window seat for reading and gazing. Add to that a mezzanine bedroom framed by hefty beams and a pretty stained glass window, a bathroom with a big tub, and a neat kitchen with a sweep of beech worktop, and two people will be happy holed up here whatever the weather.

Outside are big hills, a rushing river valley and endless walks through a blissfully tourist-free slice of rural Wales. There's a pub on the river, Towy Bridge Inn, a couple of miles away or you can pick up delicious organic produce from Wright's Food and whip up supper at home, cosy in front of the fire or out on the terrace on balmy evenings.

The owners are experimenting with regenerative farming practices and they've already seen an increase in biodiversity across their 75 acres: you may spot spotted heath orchids, waxcaps, hawk moths and dark green fritillary butterflies.

Nestled at the foot of the wild Cambrian Mountains overlooking the Brecon Beacons National Park. Waterfall walks from the door, RSPB reserve Gwenffrwdd Dinas for Celtic rainforest and spectacular cascades. Incredible dipping pool for wild swimmers.
45 mins from Pen y Fan. We can fill you in on the best routes and walks in the mountains - the busy and the secret. The Cambrian Mountains are a scintillatingly wild area. Think lakes, windswept hills and waterfalls. Elan Valley and Teifi Pools are superb.
We can recommend days out filled with views and vistas to fill the soul and tucked away foodie places to fill your boots. Follow our wild swimming trails and try some icy dips in the stunning hinterlands. Hit the trails to find our fave lakes & waterfalls.
Immerse yourself in nature with our Wild Collective. A group of talented local people who can take you on 121 experiences of foraging; wild swimming; hill, full moon and sunset walks, felting and crafting, astrophotography and 4x4 safaris.
If R&R is more your thing, grab your book and mooch around our 75 acre farm with our diverse meadows from floodplain to upland. Or sit down next to the stream and wile away a few hours waiting to spot the kingfisher.
A plethora of pretty market towns with antiques, galleries and crafts. Plus 2 of the best gardens in Wales - The Botanic Gardens of Wales & Aberglasney. Gorgeous estuary towns Laugharne and Llansteffan are on the doorstep or go west for secret beaches.
