A holiday park with 40 ‘eco-sensitive’ cabins is less than an hour-and-a-half away from Bristol by car. The Forest Holidays complex at the Brecon Beacons National Park has cabins that all come with hot tubs and woodland views.

The Garwnant park was the company’s 12th UK location, with Forest Holidays also operating parks at the Forest of Dean, Snowdonia and Cornwall.

The 40 eco-sensitive timber cabins are designed to allow guests to immerse themselves in nature, and each come with large decked outside spaces.

Garwnant is just an hour and 17 minutes’ drive away from Bristol city centre, across the Prince of Wales Bridge.

Accommodation choices range from the stylish Golden Oak Hideaway cabins made for two to more-spacious Golden Oak Treehouses which sleep up to 10 guests, as Hull Live reports.

There are also several White Willow Premium cabins, complete with extra features including outdoor kitchens containing a pizza oven, barbecue, and fridge.

The multi-million-pound investment has created local year-round jobs and become a significant new addition to South Wales growing tourism economy, according to the company.

Forest Holidays champions sustainable tourism, which encourages guests to visit local attractions, explore the surrounding areas and eat, drink and shop locally during their stay.
