Bear
Bear
Set high on the edge of a Welsh valley, with sweeping views across endless woodland, Bear offers a real escape from everyday life. Surrounded by nature and complete with a private hot tub, it’s a place where unwinding comes naturally and the outside world feels far away. The views from Bear's picture window, fire pit and hot tub is one of our favourites, showcasing the vast forest of towering trees.
While it feels remote, Bear is walking distance from a welcoming village pub and the local shop, and is on the doorstep of the Brechfa Forest, a gorgeous woodland spanning 14,000 acres and laced with scenic trails to explore of foot or bike. For days out, the National Botanical Gardens of Wales are only 25 minutes away, while those seeking deeper relaxation can visit the woodland wellness retreat Sauna Y Coed, around a 45-minute drive away. He also shares a site with Seren, if you're looking to escape with friends or as a small family.
Built for comfortable living in nature, Bear has a hot shower, a cosy log burner, and hotel-quality bed linen by Piglet in Bed. He’s stocked with games, books, and an instant camera - everything you need for a proper digital detox surrounded by woodland and fields.
Dogs are very welcome at Bear. For their safety and the local wildlife’s, we recommend keeping them on a lead while exploring.

The setting was beautiful, it was super comfortable and we loved the radio and games provided!
I absolutely LOVED the cabin! I cannot speak highly enough of it - and will be recommending it to everyone I speak to. The little touches and attention to every detail were so impressive and meant we could really relax. I seriously loved sitting there at the edge of the forest, listening to our Kylie and Madonna tapes on loop ❤️ I am hooked - it will be an annual tradition now for sure. I may even do it on my own… as I found it totally transformative in terms of my mood, focus and creativity.
