Remote Adventures Wales ( 'RAW')
offers luxurious accommodation
from a hill-top barn in the
Brecon Beacons of South Wales.
Dukes Barn is a contemporary 15th century barn in a spectacular
rural setting in the Welsh hills. It is the perfect location to
relax and enjoy a wide range of adventure
activities, and only two and a half hours drive from
London.
We offer first class accommodation for up to 8 people and assist
and advise on local activities with a focus on mountain
biking, road biking,
rock climbing and hill walking.
Guests also have exclusive use of Dukes Barn's amenities ,
which comprise an indoor climbing wall,
counter current swimming pool,
sauna, steam room and it's own 2km
mountain bike circuit!
We take bookings for a minimum of 2 nights, and with a little
pre-planning with yourselves, we can suggest an activity
programme tailored to your needs.
We are happy to advise and assist in planning your activities
and we can arrange formal rock climbing
instruction for novice and intermediate rock climbers by arrangement.
Guests can also explore the private, 12 acres of woodland and
meadows and hope to spot the prolific wildlife including hares,
pheasants, foxes and owls. Alternatively you can relax inside
with full use of the spa facilities, loungers and log fire,
or browse through the library for a good book.
Our aim is to provide a relaxing, luxurious, rural retreat
- an ideal base for you to pursue your chosen outdoor adventure
activities - a similar ethos to our sailing
venture!
We provide breakfast as standard, and packed
lunches on request. In the evenings local restaurants and gastro pubs offer a
wide range of dining or you can stay at the Barn for some hearty,
home cooking or BBQs!
