Perfect for families, this unique lodge offers plenty to do from canoeing along the river Wye to exploring the Offa’s Dyke path before returning for a long hot bubble bath and relaxing evening in front of the wood burner.
Hay-on-Wye is a brilliant destination for literature lovers, and it is easy to see why. The pretty streets are home to a staggering array of book shops for your perusal, and there’s more than a few tempting cafes in which you can enjoy your new purchases over a coffee. Maybe you are more of a seasoned explorer keen to take on the winding routes leading through the Brecon Beacons National Park instead. Either way, there is something for everyone here. Your eco-friendly accommodation has sleeping space for seven along with two dogs.
Perched on the cusp of the River Wye just a short 0.5-mile walk from the main town, your abode is surrounded by woodland and pleasantly secluded with timber-framed windows and mid-century-style decor inside. Club together and create hearty meals in the kitchen, appreciating the spacious worktops and selection of appliances before gathering at the table to eat. For the ultimate old-world feel, the range-style oven provides the property’s hot water. Next, the open-plan lounge/diner is kept toasty by a wood burner – perfect for perching at the table to gaze out of the windows. The bedrooms continue the vibe, one of which boasts its own wood burner and an en-suite bathroom. Outside, there’s a BBQ for casual summer dining.
You’ll have private access to the River Wye for long days of game and coarse fishing, and there’s on-site canoe hire should you wish to take to the water in a different sense. Wildlife is in abundance here, whether you are navigating the trails leading from the property or taking on the famous Offa’s Dyke Path or Wye Valley Walk. Slightly further afield, Waun Fach is a must for hardened walkers with a spectacular route leading through Y Grib, affectionately referred to as the Dragon’s Back locally.
