Nestled amongst the rolling hills of the Welsh countryside on the banks of the River Usk, this contemporary lodge is ideal for friends/families. Known for its natural beauty and exquisite flora and fauna, the Usk Valley in South East Wales is located between the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so walking opportunities are plentiful. And when you don’t feel like cooking, there’s a Michelin guide restaurant 1.3 miles up the hill and a farm shop a short stroll away.
Light and airy throughout, this single-storey property is immaculately styled with careful attention to detail. You’ll soon feel at home amongst the luxurious fixtures and fittings and will be reluctant to leave at the end of your stay. The traditional oak-framed porch is a great place to discard muddy boots before entering the property. There is a large open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with comfy sofas, a well-equipped kitchen and floor-to-ceiling windows and double doors offering rural views. Beautifully presented, the two bedrooms wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique hotel, whilst the bath and shower rooms complete the accommodation. When the sun’s shining, throw open the double doors and enjoy al fresco dining on your private terrace against the stunning backdrop.
With so many trails nearby, including the Usk Valley Walk, hikers will be spoilt for choice. Keen adventurers can climb to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain (10.5 miles) for the breathtaking panoramas. For something more sedate, but equally as beautiful, venture to the nature reserve and activity centre at Parc Bryn Bach (19.5 miles). If you’d prefer to explore the waterways, head to Goytre Wharf (3.5 miles) on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. History buffs, on the other hand, might prefer to visit the Big Pit National Coal Museum or Tintern Abbey (within 20 miles).
