Enjoying a great location with farm walks and wildlife ponds for you to explore, more challenging walks can be enjoyed upon the Brecon Beacons, taking in the heights of Pen y Fan (14 miles), Cribyn (13 miles), and Fan y Big (9 miles). Mountain bikers should take on the famous Taff Trail, which passes through the village and stretches to Cardiff in the south. For something a little more serene, discover the spectacular waterfalls at Blaen-y-Glyn (7.5 miles) and the large, picturesque reservoir at Talybont (3 miles), which is often teeming with migratory birds.

After a long and busy day, stock up on supplies at the shop in the village or sample local delights in one of the two village pubs. Enjoy the views across the valley before you step inside this beautifully finished lodge, finished to an exceptionally high standard, just perfect for couples wanting to get away and enjoy the countryside. The open plan living space has been well configured offering guests a cosy space to relax and unwind in front of the wood burning stove (first basket of logs included), for dining, a table, and chairs, and for the chef amongst you a bespoke built kitchen that is well-equipped to offer an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher, and washing machine. A generously sized king-size bedroom with garden views offering access to a shower room with a double walk-in rain shower, his and hers sinks, and WC.

Outside the garden has an open aspect within sympathetically landscaped grounds, there is a hot tub where you can relax and enjoy the dark skies, and there is a table and chairs for dining and BBQ. There is guest parking for two cars within the site car park.

I booked this property at the last minute, for a weeks break with my husband who now relies on a small portable mobility scooter to get about outdoors. From this point of view, it proved to be perfect, with paved paths to the single-level Lodge, and a short lane to the canal for flat towpath explorations and access to the local canal-side Shop & CaRead morefe or pub. Secluded properties, lovely views, beautiful birdsong, plus hot tubs for those who wish. Hide

The wonderful and well equipped lodge was set in a very peaceful and beautiful location with walks along the canal or up into the mountains from the door. Wildlife in abundance, a place to unwind!

Fantastic stay in a great location. The lodge is very well equipped and comfortable. Lots to do in the surrounding area. Lovely views, lots of bird song (late April/early May).
