For a taste of Americana a little closer to home you can’t go wrong with this restored vintage Airstream for two. Set in its own private dell in the westernmost corner of the Brecon Beacons National Park, it has everything you need for a peaceful weekend away: cosy double bed, small kitchen, dining area, sofa and hot water.

More than 4,000 miles from its US birthplace, you’d be forgiven for thinking the silver bullet-like caravan came from outer space, yet rest assured it is more than at home in the lush Carmarthen countryside. Most importantly, whether you’re inside (with its cosy elegant decor) or out (on the decking flanked by rolling Welsh hills and the neighbouring woodland nature reserve), you feel a world away from home. There’s plenty to see nearby too: stock up on essentials in the vibrant market town of Llandeilo, a 20-minute stroll away; walk or cycle along the beautiful Beacons Way; or take the 20-minute drive to The National Botanic Gardens of Wales, which houses exotic horticulture from around the world.

Or, of course, you could simply relax and deer-spot from the comfort of your Airstream while making idle plans to restore a vintage trailer of your own at the bottom of the garden when you get home.
