Pretty lodge with everything that you need. Nicely furnished with tasteful decor. In grounds of a nice looking country restaurant which was unfortunately closed but will be reopened by time this review is published

What a wonderful place, the accommodation was amazing, so clean and comfortable! It had everything in there that we needed. We met the owners who were lovely. Perfect place to have a few days break away from the children.

A fantastic lodge with its own little enclosed garden. It’s beautifully decorated and furnished and set in a really quiet area. We had a great week here and really enjoyed the hot tub in the late afternoons having been out walking for the day. The restaurant next door was in the process of being reopened under new management so we didn’t get to use it, but I’m sure it will be great for future guests at the lodge. We loved Hay-on-Wye which was a 5 minute drive away. Our dog loved the walks along the River Wye, a swim at Glazebury and the Brecon Beacons.
