Property code: BN134

Experience the best of both worlds in this magnificent property, which has a rural setting, yet is just 0.5 miles from the centre of Brecon. Sleeping five guests, the detached house makes the perfect couples’ retreat, as well as being ideal for small families. The property’s piece de resistance is its immaculate garden, where you can unwind and admire the far-reaching views. The surrounding area is a haven for walkers, with routes from your doorstep deep into the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The house has been lovingly furnished, with a fine collection of furniture, well-stocked bookshelves, and gorgeous artwork. The property has a quaint sense of style, with floral and gingham fabrics in the living areas and bedrooms. Steps lead to the reception hall of the period stone property and into the light and bright kitchen area. Rustle up a tasty meal from ingredients collected on your travels, to enjoy at the round table in the bay window. After dinner, get cosy in the lounge in front of the warming wood burner, to read a book or gaze out the window at the glorious view across the water meadows. French doors take you to the beautiful, enclosed garden, which is laid to lawn and has a patio area for al fresco dining. It’s easy to have a car-free holiday at this property, setting out on foot for memorable walks along the River Usk or Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, followed by a delicious lunch at one of the many independent cafes or restaurants in Brecon. Alternatively, head to the Canal Basin, where you can hire a canal boat to get a whole new perspective on the landscape. Picturesque Hay-on-Wye makes a lovely day out, especially for book lovers, and is just 16 miles from the property.

This was our fourth stay at 'Dinas Lodge' and we still love it as much as on our first visit. The location is perfect - on the edge of Brecon but within a couple of minutes walk to the centre. The house is spacious and very comfortable and we spent a lot of time if the huge and beautifully maintained garden - thanks to Duncan!. The River Usk alongsRead moreide offers lovely walks, as does the footpath on the other side of the house. We'll probably return for a fifth time next year to 'our' Dinas Lodge. Hide

This is a beautiful and homely property with amazing views of the river. The decor is good quality, traditional chintz, which was lovely and suited the character of the house well.
