Places to stay in Mid Wales

All our South and Mid Wales collections:

The best places to stay in South and Mid Wales are privately owned and full of personality, with excellent, good value food. Look out for local lamb, Black Beef and superb farm-produced cheeses.

Cross the Severn Bridge and you are soon in the Wye Valley or the Vale of Usk with the Brecon Beacons, where we have several recommendations, and Black Mountains beyond.

Or drop down to Cardiff, where there are highly recommendable places to stay, and Swansea, or rather Penarth, an unlikely setting for an excellent boutique hotel and spa.

The Brecon Beacons

The Brecon Beacons encompasses a large area of ground in mid Wales, and is one of its most popular tourist destinations. The National Park covers some 520 square miles and is a mecca for walkers and cyclists. The landscape is stunning with old sandstone forming four distinct ranges of hills, interspersed with major river valleys.

The Felin Fach Griffin is our top choice amongst the best places to stay here. This gastropub has a laid back atmosphere with squashy leather sofas surrounding a warming open fire, simple, stylish food and country style bedrooms with supremely comfy beds. Just what's required after a day in the hills!

The Wye Valley

Another huge draw to this area of Wales is the Wye Valley. Stretching from mid Wales to Chepstow, it runs a picturesque course through typically British countryside.

Obviously a must for keen walkers, the area also boasts great fishing and of course the only literary festival to be seen at - the Hay on Wye Festival.

Also not to be left out is the spectacular Tintern Abbey, whose ethereal ruins are well worth the trip.

The best places to stay in south and mid wales, if you're visiting the Wye Valley include the Bell at Skenfrith and Whitebrook Restaurant with Rooms, with its Michelin starred dining.

Swansea, Mumbles and The Gower Peninsula

Swansea is not the most beautiful city in Wales, but it is situated on Swansea Bay, a five mile swathe of stunning beach. It also offers the National Waterfront Museum and for fans of "Under Milk Wood", the Dylan Thomas Centre.

Venture to the southern tip of Swansea Bay and you'll reach Mumbles. This pretty seaside village is often referred to as the gateway to the Gower Peninsula and has a good range of boutiques, galleries, cafes and restaurants.

The Gower Peninsuta is famous for its gorgeous sandy beaches and coastline and is particularly popular with walkers and surfers alike.
