Explore hot tubs, characterful interiors, rural stays and star-filled skies across the Dark Sky Collection.
Dark Sky Collection brings together cottages, farmhouses, eco lodges, barns and a shepherd's hut around a fourth-generation family farm at Crai. The collection offers individual escapes, large group stays and exclusive-use retreats beneath some of the darkest skies in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.
Current properties range from The Mallard shepherd's hut for two to cottages, farmhouses, barns and combined sites sleeping larger family, friend or business groups. Facilities vary and can include enclosed gardens, hot tubs or swim spas, wood-burning stoves, games rooms, Wi-Fi, EV charging and pet-friendly options. Visitors should compare the individual property page rather than assume every facility is universal.
The Crai Valley setting provides dark-sky views and walking from the accommodation. Guided stargazing, farm tours, gin tastings, a mobile sauna, bike hire, catering and other local experiences can be arranged under the current availability and booking terms. The family's regenerative-farming, biodiversity and lower-impact energy work forms part of the collection's sustainability approach.
Combined properties and exclusive hire can support reunions, celebrations, corporate retreats and tailored group stays, with the team helping to arrange catering, activities and team experiences. Because access differs between properties, visitors with particular requirements should request the relevant access statement before booking.
