Brecon hostels

To experience the archetypal Welsh Valleys holiday, choose one of the Brecon hostels in the countryside. Brynderwen is one of the top picks, in a lush rural location that’s also only about 3.5 miles (6 km) from the centre of the town itself. It’s a great all-round place to stay that will suit most travellers, from couples to families to groups of friends. There’s a wealth of rugged hiking trails surrounding the accommodation. If the weather is inclement, as it can often be in this region, there is indoor entertainment in the form of a shared lounge and TV area or a selection of puzzles and board games. These are especially useful if you have children with you.

If you like to take holidays that involve plenty of healthy, physical activity and you’re looking for Brecon hostels through KAYAK, a suitable place to book is Ty Newydd B&B. It’s a really charming place to stay, and serves as a base for cycling trips, horse riding and canoeing. Fishing is available right there on the premises. You’ll have a choice between a traditional English or Irish breakfast and, once suitably fed, you can set off for nearby tourist attractions like Brecon Cathedral, which is roughly 4 miles (7 km) from your accommodation. If you want a taste of Welsh history, it’s well worth making the roughly 10 mile (17 km) drive to visit Bronllys Castle.

For a cosy couples’ getaway, one of the best Brecon hostels, complete with four-poster beds, is Castle Lodge B&B. You’ll have your own kitchenette and dining area, and your hosts will organise grocery deliveries on request, so that you don’t need to leave your nest. There’s a picnic area, and you can also use the outdoor BBQ and patio. For on-site entertainment, there’s a games room, and you can go horse riding and hiking too. You can get packed lunches for this, and there are also a couple of shops selling essentials.
