Property code: 78741

If you’re looking to escape to a romantic rural retreat in south-east Wales, this property is perfect. Under an old oak tree, this charming lodge is small, but perfectly formed. Be at one with nature, as you dine alfresco under the covered terrace or enjoy a spot of stargazing whilst sitting around the roaring fire pit. You can spend lazy mornings sipping coffee, reading a book and watching wildlife from the comfort of your bed, or if you prefer, the terrace. For something a little more strenuous, there are plenty of walks across the unspoilt Welsh countryside from your doorstep.

Despite its secluded position, this lodge has the style and comfort of a contemporary hotel room, with the advantage of stunning countryside views from your bed. Handcrafted, the wooden exterior blends into its natural setting. Inside, there’s an open-plan living space, with a separate shower room to the rear. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you’ll need to cook up a light lunch or an evening meal, which you can eat inside at the breakfast bar or outside on the terrace. The sofa is positioned in front of the TV, with the double bed beyond that. Outside, there is a BBQ and a fire pit for al fresco cooking.

The biggest attraction here is undoubtedly the stunning scenery. The Brecon Beacons National Park lies to the west with its many lakes, waterfalls and caves to discover, as well as its endless routes/trails for walkers and cyclists. For something different, the bustling market town of Abergavenny is 6 miles away, with other towns such as Crickhowell and Raglan, famous for its castle, within 12 miles. To take to the water, head to Goytre Wharf (7 miles) where you can enjoy a number of activities on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal.

This cosy shepherd's hut on its own in the middle of a field and under the stars is a perfect getaway. It's warm, has all amenities we needed, and the outdoor firepit was an extra treat. We took 2 dogs, who were safe in the enclosed drive and garden. The hut is near some great walks, including Sugar Loaf, and just about 45 minutes from Pen Y Fan.

A perfect spot for a countryside getaway - the lodge is set in completely private and enclosed (and dog proof) grounds, with absolutely nobody overlooking the gardens save for cows and sheep! It was remarkably well equipped and comfortable, with a good shower, plenty of kitchen equipment (no oven, but a hob, microwave, toaster, fridge with freezer Read morebox, and a very fancy barbecue on the deck), and a bed big enough for my 6'5" husband to get a decent night's sleep. We would highly recommend. Hide

The most perfect get away, as farmers ourselves it could not of been a more peaceful place to stay as we were able to completely switch off. The accommodation was super modern and had everything we needed. The views are stunning and the sunsets even better. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking to have a quiet break away.
