Summary:
A bespoke, high-quality cabin, with unspoilt views over the Taf Fechan valley from the elevated wraparound decking, Flora’s is the epitome of escapism.
Situated in the village of Pontsticill, Flora’s offers a perfect base to enjoy the best routes and scenery the Brecon Beacons has to offer – less than 20 minutes from the base of Pen y Fan or the famous Ystradfellte Four Waterfalls, as well as a choice of outdoor activities and equipment hire available within the village.

We have installed a hand-crafted copper outdoor bathtub and outdoor seating area, looking out over the valley, a perfect way to unwind in the setting sun or under the stars after a day’s exploration in the surrounding area.
Despite our beautiful rural location, the nearest corner store and takeaway are only 10 mins away, and the nearest supermarket and petrol station are less than 15 minutes away should you need them. If you need anything else locally, we're happy to recommend!
Just be mindful that the front and internal doors of the cabin are a little smaller than standard - mind your head!
