4 very peaceful nights

Glamping Pod - Black Mountain Pemberton Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot TubJul 2025Myself and my husband spent four peaceful nights at 68 Degrees West in Cradoc, Brecon, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish.
Location & views (10/10). Set in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, the setting is simply stunning—with uninterrupted views over the Black Mountains and Pen y Fan. The peaceful, elevated position made it feel like our own private retreat.
Pods & amenities. Our pod was cosy, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything we needed. The kitchenette came stocked with tea, coffee, sugar, cutlery, a gas hob, toaster, kettle, and small fridge—perfect for quiet meals in front of a roaring wood burner or with the doors wide open to enjoy the summer evenings. The bathroom and shower was a little small, but exactly what you'd expect in a little glamping pod, and they were immaculate and well maintained. While the pod was very comfortable, the only potential issue is the fridge is quite small—adequate for basics, but limited for larger items.
Hot tub & outdoor space. The private hot tub overlooking the rolling hills was the highlight—ideal for an evening soak for us after a long day of riding on the motorbike on the way down from Holyhead. The deck area and BBQ made it perfect for unwinding and star-gazing.
Hosts & service. Hosts Rachel and Lewis were warm, attentive, and helpful—providing local recommendations and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Their hospitality was much appreciated.
Wonderful weekend

Glamping Pod - Black Mountain Pemberton Ensuite Glamping Pod with Hot TubMar 2025We really enjoyed our weekend glamping.
The site itself was well laid out and quiet, although I think every pod was occupied. We had a warm welcome from the owners who took time to explain how things worked and where everything was.
The pod was gorgeous, so compact and absolutely spotlessly clean. Lots of lovely touches such as soft blankets in case the weather was cold, coffee machine and tea/coffee/ sugar etc available when we arrived. The hot tub was amazing - especially in the rain the first night of our stay.
Just as lovely on the warmer and drier second day, it gave a really luxurious touch to the glamping experience. The views from the hot tub were amazing, seeing the sunset colouring the mountains as we sat in the hot tub was magical. We will definitely be back, it was a fantastic stay.
Breath-taking views, pure relaxation

Glamping Pod - Glamping Pods with Hot TubsJan 2025Myself and my partner had the most peaceful wonderful weekend staying at 68 Degrees West.
The views were breathtaking and I've never felt so relaxed. Is what we both needed. We ate out on both nights and only took around 5 minutes or so in the car to get to restaurants or even popping to the shop, which was handy.
The communal showers and toilets were spotlessly clean. We couldn't fault the place. We will definitely be returning.
