Wanderoo
As unglamorous as it sounds, Wanderoo is a truck. But not just any truck: It’s a truck that has been converted into an amazing living space and is parked in a beautiful part of the park with views of Pen-y-Fan and the Black Mountains.
There’s a king-size double bed above the cab, wood burner, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and even balconies. Last but by no means least is the hot tub which you soak in while admiring the views or stargaze from by night. Sleep two for £95 a night.
