Get lost with purpose in the Welsh Hills: Forage for wild food with a local expert

Wonderfully remote, cosy and very stylish The Cow Shed is the perfect place to meet Sugar & Loaf's expert forager. He is passionate about finding wild food and knows the winding lanes and rolling hills that surround the cottage better than anyone. Sleeping four, The Cow Shed sits on the lower slopes of the Black Mountains, surrounded by nothing but incredible views and birdsong. After a morning foraging, return to the sink-in sofas, deep bath and cosy log burner.

The Cow Shed sleeps 4 and is from £340 for a three night weekend stay

Make a little something: Christmas Wreaths and handmade chocolates to Oak Stools & Hazel Hurdles
