#lksawaydays 4a/2020 today we decided to step back in time and enjoy a Welsh castle double header. Car packed, satnav set and the ipod on playing the back catalogue of the Manchester Orchestra (top tunes) Our first of the two planned castles was Carreg Cennen in the village of Trap inside the Brecon Beacons National Park. We arrived as the weather seemed to get murkier, perhaps a little bit of luck kept the rain away, we parked up in the free, quiet but again rather small car park. The site has a cafe and shop, these can be found around from the car park as you enter, all of which sit below the prominent ruins dwelling upon the hill. After paying £5 per adult we hiked up the slope and enjoyed the impressive views of Towy Valley, on a clear day it must be spectacular! The six towered castle built in the time of Lord Rhys in the late 1100's has sat in ruin since 1462, once inside you can move around the skeleton freely, walking across the base or along stairways to see more of the structure. Make sure you head down to the naturally made cave which runs under the castle and travels deep into the hillside. Be cautious, once you start walking along the cave it's pitch black and a little slippery under foot, we used our phone touches but you can hire torches at the pay hut for £1.50. #lksawaydays give Carreg Castle a 👍

"Good stay lots of equipment. Clean bedding and towels. Lloyd was very easy to deal with with professional, friendly and prompt responses. Good communal space. Sky is a nice touch same with the Alexa. The kitchen was clean overall but felt like it needed a deep steam clean. Equipment in gym was decent housed in a sep garage/unit. Front door needs adjustment to make it easier to close and lock. Clean hot tub. Overall a very decent stay. "

"Fabulous stay in a wonderful location. "

"Anne and Philip are fantastic host. When we arrived at the cottage, we were given some freshly laid eggs and home baked bread. The property has loads of character and a lovely large garden. We were very comfortable and would not hesitate returning. "

"Everything to make your stay perfect has been thiought of."

"This is a very spacious property in a lovely quiet rural location with the nearest town still close enough to easily get whatever you require. The standard of the property is high & it's very well located. From here Tenby, The Gower Peninsula & the Brecon Beacons are all no more than one hours drive away."

"It was really nice short break. Cottage was nice and cozy. We used to have clean linen and towels."

10/10 Excellent

Delta Hotels by Marriott Swansea

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a great location stayed as we were going to a concert and the venue is about a 2 minute walk away. Parking reasonably priced at £5 per night, could have been free but not a rip off. Restaurant food was really quite good and service excellent staff asked if we were going to the concert and served as promptly as we were. There are some nice flat walks locally which is great for a leg stretch after being in the car. Would recommend."
