Property code: OC-BOW138

This bright and spacious property provides incredible lakeside views within a countryside backdrop. Situated on a working farm, the modern lodge is a great location for a family of five or group of friends to explore more of what South Wales has to offer.

Inside this contemporary accommodation, the open-plan lounge/diner is the social hub of the house, and the place you’ll enjoy family films over mugs of hot chocolate. Turn local ingredients into feasts for the soul in the adjoining kitchen space and serve up at the dining table. On balmy evenings, go alfresco and sit around the picnic bench enjoying a BBQ well into the night. Choose from three beautiful bedrooms – a twin, double and a single and a bathroom for washing off the day’s adventure. Slide open the bi-fold doors and embrace majestic vistas over the lake from the large patio area, or take an early morning stroll around it.

If you can tear yourself away from the views of this property visit the fourteen locks visitor centre and enjoy setting off on the 3-mile walk following the canal towpath. Spot kingfishers and dragonflies on your journey, and drink in the scenery, step by step. Further afield, sports enthusiasts will enjoy playing a round at the Parc Golf Club (3 miles) or make a real splash at the water sports centre of Llandegfedd, (11 miles). Less than half an hour drive will bring you to the lively city centre of Cardiff, where hearty pub dinners can be found on the majority of corners: or take a tour around the gothic fairy-tale towers of Castell Coch or visit the majestic Cardiff Castle, which has over 2,000 years worth of history under its belt.

Lovely lodge, beautiful location. So peaceful. Linda was very warm and welcoming and we were very grateful for her letting my daughter (11) visit the stables and horses. Highly recommended, good base location for visiting the local area including Cardiff.

Lovely location, and amazing view! Sitting on a warm evening overlooking the lake as the sun sets was so relaxing! Very comfortable, and in easy driving distance of both Newport and Cardiff. Our dog enjoyed the enclosed garden, and barking at the geese when they flew over!

We loved our stay at the lodge, the location is beautiful and perfect for a relaxing stay with plenty of bird life to watch on and off the lake. The lodge is comfortable and well equipped, very spacious. We would definitely like to return and would certainly recommend.

Beautiful calm and peaceful location. Clean, well equipped cottage with all utensils needed included BBQ utensils. Linda was kind enough to show us around the farm and meet all the animals which our kids loved. Absolutely loads to do in the area. Well connected location and was easy to get to and from.
