YHA Brecon Beacons 3 stars

Brecon

Quietly situated within 15 acres of ancient woodland, the YHA Brecon Beacons is in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Dating back to the 19th century, this farmhouse hostel has access to scenic countryside walks and overlooks the River Tarell, towards Y Gyrn. We were greeted warmly by the receptionist who showed us around the area as well as our accommodation. He was friendly and helpful. The accommodation itself (we chose camping pods) was lovely, clean and ventilated. Two regular plug sockets were available, so you should bring an extension cord if there are more than 2 people staying. The facilities were clean, comprehensive and easy to access. The kitchen is complete with ovens, microwaves, utensils, electric stoves, and pots and pans. We were a bit shocked at how complete the setup was. The toilets and showers were clean and spacious. You can chill in the cozy lounge with board games, or go out into the open and start a campfire as you watch the night sky which was full of stars that night (and shooting stars)! I took the breakfast for £9.95 and it was good with the continental options available as well. What I must advise, however, is to know the bus schedule of T4 and T14B (I found google maps quite reliable for this) if you do not have a car. Also, please let them know the stop is Llwyn y Celyn, NOT libanus as we have made that mistake before and had to walk 20 minutes on the A470 back to YHA. Overall, it was a lovely stay with warm people (staff and customers alike), conveniently located with access to public transport, with good facilities and a view to remember. I would recommend this and will definitely return.
