Brecon Beacons
Located close to the literacy town of Hay-on-Wye, the property was once part of the farm serving a Cistercian monastery founded in 1176. Steeped in history, the individual barns and buildings have been lovingly restored and updated to create a stunning home-from-home space.
Beautiful gardens create a multitude of private oases to relax in spread across the 4 individual buildings, each with their very own unique style and character, that you inhabit during your stay.
You have a choice of 5 single occupancy rooms with double beds and an ensuite bathroom, 4 single rooms with a shared bathroom with another room, and a twin room with a shared bathroom with one other room.
The Wheat Silo is a quirky accommodation for two people sharing a double bed, and it has its own kitchen, bathroom, and living space and stunning views of the Brecon Beacons.
The Silver Silo is like the Wheat Silo, but it has 3 bedrooms. One double en-suite is a single occupancy room but can be a double on request. It has two single rooms with a shared bathroom and a shared living / dining / kitchen space.
The yoga studio is a beautiful, long barn conversion full of natural light and double doors that open up into the inner courtyard and the valleys beyond.
Program
Join AdventureYogi in Wales, in the county of Breconshire, where the rugged Welsh landscape of the Brecon Beacons inspires and takes your breath away each visit. If you love to be in the Welsh countryside, surrounded by rolling hills, rivers, streams, nature, and peace and quiet, this is the right yoga retreat for you.
With the closest town being Hay-on-Wye, you are in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. About 3.5 hours from London or 1.5 hours from Bristol, take time out of your busy schedule to really relax and restore body and mind in this healing space.
You can choose to be as active or relaxed as you like on this yoga retreat, enjoy the free guided hike, and then enjoy the grounds of the retreat to relax.
For those who want even more, Brecon Beacons activity holidays offer a variety of activities to choose from, like canoeing down the River Wye, horseback riding, or wandering into Hay-On-Wye as it is only 10 minutes away and exploring the infamous book shops and cafes.
