Cadarn Bed and Breakfast

Situated in the Brecon Beacons National Park and originally a small welsh hill farm, the Cadarn bunkhouse is surrounded by its own land with fabulous views of the Black Mountains and the Wye Valley.

A warm wellcome is assured for those wanting to stay at our Visit Wales 4* graded farmhouse. We have four rooms, mostly ensuite and can accommodate up to 12 guests at a time.

You don't have to be horse mad to stay with us, there are plenty of wonderful walks and mountain bike routes from our doorstep.

Be treated to a real local breakfast with bacon, eggs, sausages all coming from local farms.

Outstanding views of the Brecon Beacons are easily accessed by foot or bike. These routes are not heavily used so you probably won't come across another walker or mountain biker for miles.

The Accommodation is only 4 miles from Hay on Wye, famous for the Sky Literature Festival held in May each year. The market town of Brecon famous for its annual Jazz festival in August is only 10 miles.



Talgarth is only 5 miles and has a gliding club where you can book gliding lessons.

Nearest Public Transport

Unfortunately, we are not well served with public transport links.

Nearest railway stations are Abergavenny and Hereford, both about 25 miles. From Abergavenny the best option is taxi. From Hereford, there is the option of catching the bus towards Brecon, Stagecoach No 39. Get off at Three Cocks (Old Barn Inn stop) and exercise your legs!

There are also National Express coaches to Hereford or Brecon. For small groups, we can pick up from Hay-on-Wye and the bus/railway stations by prior arrangement.
