The Experience
It’s as neat as a pin and very pretty inside, so even if it’s raining you’ll feel cosy indoors with the wood-burner blazing (logs supplied from the estate) and plenty of books, maps and games, or a smart telly. Views through the little windows are very rural and there are lots of footpaths for walkers nearby, or you can wander up through acres of the estate for wonderful views of the Brecon Beacons.
Two sweet, simple bedrooms have deep mattresses, feather and down pillows and duvets, Welsh blankets and nice views. The shower room is in the middle – spruce, shining and warm. The kitchen is a good size, you eat at an antique table and you’ll find all the kit you need for cooking along with tea, coffee and milk. The Felin Fach Griffin is 15 minutes in the car if you want to eat out.
Cyclists will love the smooth, quiet roads. Serious walkers will head to the Beacons for hill climbing, waterfalls and sublime views.

Glan Honddu is a delightful place to stay. The cottage is well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable break and with many thoughtful extra touches such as vases of beautiful flowers in each room and the welcoming provision of fresh eggs, freshly home baked bread and other goodies. We much appreciated the warm welcome as well as the beautiful landscape all around within easy reach of the town of Brecon and a wide range of sights, walks and activities in the National Park, Black Mountains and surrounding countryside.

A delightful cottage close to the Brecon Beacons and to Hay-On-Wye where we were visiting the festival. The cottage was very clean and well-equipped. It was cosy with the wood-burning stove and the host, Lulu, was very welcoming. There were vases of fresh flowers and some local food products when we arrived. It is a good location for walking and the festival. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful place to stay. Every aspect of the cottage was perfect and made for such a relaxing experience, everything you might need is provided and the welcome pack really was special. The inside is furnished so beautifully and everything is obviously done to a very high standard. The host was so friendly and welcoming, a wealth of knowledge for local walks - nothing was too much trouble if we asked of it. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back ☺️

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lodge! From the tastefully furnished bedrooms, to the high quality kitchenware and vases of freshly-cut flowers - this was a delight to return to after a day’s exploring in the hills or nearby Hay on Wye.

The lodge is a small unexpected delight. Its functional stone exterior is 200 years old and hides wonderfully adapted living rooms and bedrooms, decorated with taste. The style of the inside is a wonderful counterpoint to the gruff protective outside. All around is walking country on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, and a feast of exploration within the hills of mid-Wales. You have it all here.

Location
The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Lulu Robertson
- The Brecon Beacons offer the most incredible opportunity to walk, hike and explore the National Park – we're just 5.6 miles from the famous ‘Pen y Fan’ and ‘Corn Du’ which is a moderately easy walk with good paths maintained by The National Trust.
- We're perfectly located for the Hay Festival. Hay-On-Wye is a beautiful place to visit with its famous bookshops, the newly renovated castle and a great choice of cafes and shops – 25 minutes/14.5 miles.
- The stunning 4 Waterfalls Walk is an absolute must – 30 minute drive/19 miles. A coastal walk at Rhossili Beach is a glorious day out, fabulous to swim, walk and fly a kite! 1hr 45 mins/65 miles.
- We have the most incredible walks all around Glan Honddu, guests are welcome to enjoy our beautiful parkland, farmland and woods. Pen y Crug is on our doorstep, an easy 1 hour walk directly from The Lodge, enjoy stunning 360 degree views at the summit!
- Glan Honddu is situated on the banks of the River Honddu – trout fishing is available during the season.
- Cradoc Golf Course and Driving Range is a mile away - a fantastic course run by a very experienced and welcoming team.

Introducing
Lulu Robertson
This family estate in the Brecon Beacons has acres of beautiful gardens, woodland and farmland to explore. The owners live in the Georgian house at the end of the drive and are continuing to develop various farm buildings.
What a wonderful way to spend Autumn in Wales: a week at Glann Honddu Estate. Lulu was very welcoming and helpful. Fresh flowers and herbs from the garden, homemade bread and jam, a large share of the hens' produce (never tasted such good eggs!). The living room is cosy with the fireplace (and plenty of wood). The bed was comfortable, and the shower (including lovely organic Goodwash Products) was a delight. All in all: a great stay. We are Lulu and Nicholas very thankful and hope to be back sometime.
