The Sleeping Giant Lodge, is situated on the Cribarth mountain, often referred to as the sleeping giant, based in the heart of the Brecon Beacon National Park. The Sleeping Giant Lodge has a lovely log burner stove to keep you warm and toasty on winter nights.
We are a small holding and love our animals, on site we have rare breed sheep, Alpacas (walks available) chickens and goats, your welcome to come and say hi to them all
During your stay the area is so quiet you can hear the owls hooting after dark, there are amazing sunsets and a beautiful place for stargazing! Situated in the Brecon Beacons National Park, with many picturesque walks in waterfall country and a short walk is possible to the local pub. The water fall walks are a local attraction and have featured in numerous movies, including batman. That blissful peace and quiet is the reason most guests cite for choosing a stay here. Located on a small holding, guests will find spectacular views, friendly animals and walks that start right from the door! Craig y Nos Castle and Country Park are within walking distance and allow guests a scenic stroll around the grounds and Castle of the worlds most famous opera singer Adelina Patti. Maybe take sneak peek at the pavilion where she performed many fantastic shows, a beatiful place where you can enjoy a picnic on the grounds. Take advantage of the outdoor cooking area, enjoy your evenings outdoors watching the sunset or stargazing from the hot tub. A truly magical stay with a warm Welsh welcome guaranteed. This truly is glamping at its best!
