I do like to get to Madeira for a week every year and hopefully the States (Chicago, Boston, NYC) for a week also.tbh BB I can't rem the last time I had a package holiday overseas it was so long ago. We tend to holiday in the uk now the kids have flit the nest although I do enjoy the occasional european 3/4 day city breaks (Lisbon in spring) plus an annual golfing break. I can't rem the last time that I was away for longer than a week. Brecon was a friends wedding (you are right the countryside around there is beautiful) and I stayed for a long weekend with 10 others in a large 6 bedroomed house in Anglesey a fortnight ago for another friends 60th birthday celebration. Dined in the Marram Grass restaurant too.
As for farm cottage breaks / chalets / statics they are OK but I can't really see the point given that where I live is usually much better in every aspect (the tide goes out too far by about 20 miles though). Must say I do fancy installing a good sauna though.
Most of our hols are in the UK these days. You must look at this place in Dumfries and Galloway: www.orroland.com. I used to take my daughters every year and my oldest loved it so much she got married there last year, I booked the 3 properties for a week and we all had a fantastic time. It is ideal for dogs and is less than 2 hours drive.
I have a mate who was born and still lives on Anglesey. He just took severance from Wylfa Power Station and has just bought a house in Amlwch Port with his severance to do up as a holiday let - I hope to be an early customer and will tell you what it is like. Mind you his own Cottage is lovely, best sea view on the Island and 5 acres of land left to wildlife.
