Breacon Beacon's

I had a week off for midterm break while my parents were here so we decided to go to Wales for a couple of days. We stayed one night in the Breacon Beacons National Park (where we went the GreenMan Festival). We stayed at this old manor house that was converted into a hotel and it was amazing. We arrived just around dusk and got to spend some time walking around the grounds.








Our room
We decided we were probably in the old servants quarters since we had to take the back stair way up to our rooms. There were a variety of rooms ranging from very expensive to cheaper. We stayed in the cheapest rooms which were still around 100 pounds a night.  We got a view at some of the more expensive rooms and they looked amazing- like the kind of thing you see in the movies.

me looking at old pictures of the place. They have great fishing in the river and many of the pictures are of people catching some really big fish. It was an amazing place and we wished we would have spent more than one night there.

We went into the closest village for dinner that night and we ate at the Bear which is suppose to be one of the best pubs in the UK and it was. The food was amazing!
