4. The Weir, Ewyas Harold
Situated in the pleasant and rural village of Ewyas Harold, this characterful farmhouse is an excellent holiday base between the Brecon Beacons and the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With a lovely local village shop, chippy and several inns, you have all the essentials on your doorstep.

The Temple Bar Inn - @thetemplebarinn
The Temple Bar Inn has been licensed since the 1850s and provides a relaxed environment with a varied menu - tuck into a juicy steak with a glass of red before ending your meal with a sugary sweet white chocolate cheesecake. Meanwhile, The Dog has been open for over 500 years, offering that touch of history to your dining experience.
