Black Mountains Yurt
Black Mountains & Brecon Beacons
Black Mountains Yurt is the ultimate, luxury outdoor escape. It's incredibly cosy inside, with sheepskin rugs, warm Welsh wool blankets and an enormous wood burning stove kicking out lots of heat, as well as boiling the water for your morning cuppa!
In a spectacular location, a short drive from one of our favourite mountain towns, Crickhowell and a short river walk to the local pub. This yurt was originally designed for the owners to live in, so they have picked the very best spot on the 50 acres plot to pitch it. With amazing views and an eye for detail ensuring every comfort is taken care of.
Literally off the beaten track, Black Mountains Yurt is set just below a hill-farm, completely private and unseen from the country lanes, you can really escape modern day life and worry about little else than catching some trout in the river, stoking the fire and finishing your book. Pass by the friendly cows and new apple orchard en-route, once there you just won't want to leave, the view is simply beautiful.
Set on a wooden base to ensure the yurt stays warm and dry, there is local master craftsmanship and a commitment to recycling on show throughout. With a hand-made, oak double bed, hand-made "kitchen" worktop and fabulous large dining table and benches, made from wood cut from the surrounding land.
Step across the track to your own hand painted shepherd hut, with an old fashioned claw foot bath and piping hot running water ensuring you can luxuriate in a long soak, with a view, at the end of the day. There is a basin and loo too, with another wood burner in the bathroom to ensure you keep really cosy.
The mountain biking and walking is second to none and should you get tired of all that greenery (!), then the famous book town of Hay on Wye is just thirty minutes away, the market town of Abergavenny with its fabulous food festival is ten minutes drive, Crickhowell is just 5 minutes down the lane and the village pub is within walking distance!
