<p>The Brecon Beacons is not only wildly beautiful – it’s also where the Welsh patron saint of lovers, St Dwynwen, once lived. So what better place to visit for a romantic getaway? Perched on the water’s edge, Lily Pond Lodge is a cosy wooden cabin where couples can watch swallows skim across the water lilies, stroll through the pretty garden or wallow in their own private hot tub. Short breaks from £132.50 per person, based on two sharing. <em>[Photo: breconcottages.com]</em> </p>
