Welcome to The Mallard, a unique shepherd's hut-style cabin located in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. This cosy retreat sleeps two and is perfect for a romantic getaway.

My wife and I spent 2 nights at the mallard for our 5 year wedding anniversary with 2 of our dogs. It was bliss. The views from everywhere were breath taking. The hot tub had a perfect picturesque scenes. The bed nook was so comfortable. The wood burner was a lovely touch and all the information to go on walks etc was fantastic. Our dogs adored Read morethe space they had to roam and loved the river at the bottom on the field. Loved our stay Hide

Brogan

Its set in a great location with no noise disturbance and not that much light pollution which makes it great for star gazing. I would highly recommend staying here.

Milly

This Property was brilliant! They had everything you could want there so no need to pack anything but clothes and some food. Was super dog-friendly. Being set on a large field made it perfect for my dog to walk around whilst we are at the cabin. The hosts made sure the place was spotless for us and they included booklets with local shops, restauranRead morets, etc, and all things you can do in the area. They had a large bowl and a small one for your dog with a stand. There was plenty of room inside. The bed was super comfy! And they supplied plenty of BBQ and log burner supplies to keep you going for a good week . We have already booked our next stay with them next month ! Very very happy with our stay and would recommend to anyone Hide

If you like peace and quiet, like we do, this place is perfect

Jonathan

The property more than met our expectations, the location was superb. For a thoroughly relaxing break we would have no hesitation in recommending the property.

Stuart

Perfect location and really enjoyed the hot tub. Some soft seats would be a bonus but overall a great glamping experience - there was a wasp nest in the left of the drive in the bank just for info

Natasha

Lovely stay at the Mallard. Bed was very comfy, used the hot tub and the BBQ facilities. Bathroom was good and shower had hot running water. Check-in very easy, property was left open for us to arrive. Was perfect for our 3 night stay in Wales. About half an hour drive from attractions such as Pen-Y-Fan and Zip World.
