Here are some of our favourite handpicked staycation spots:
Bryn Bettws Lodge
Located in the beautiful Afan Forest, Bryn Bettws Lodge has four log cabins on site that sleep five people per cabin. There is also the Bunkhouse which sleeps 18 people, and there are nine rooms in the main lodge which sleep 2-6 people per room.
Bryn Bettws Lodge is dog friendly, and it’s fantastic for guests who love the outdoors, with numerous walking and mountain bike trails just a stone’s throw away. One of these trails is the Richard Burton Birthplace trail, which takes you through the quaint town of Pontrhydyfen.
