For a restful Welsh escape with your partner and pet, stay in this brand-new wooden lodge on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. It’s located on the grounds of a charming 16th-century gastropub between the peaks of the Sugar Loaf (100 meters) and The Skirrid (3.5 miles), both excellent walks you can enjoy with your canine companion. The area is ideal for outdoorsy couples who enjoy exploring on foot or bike. Join the famous Offa’s Dyke trail just 1 mile away, providing access to Hatterrall Hill (7.5 miles) for fab views. History buffs can visit castles at Abergavenny (2.5 miles) or Raglan (12.5 miles), while book lovers will appreciate Hay-on-Wye (21 miles), known for its literary festival and farmers market. Pick up souvenirs in nearby Crickhowell (8 miles) or head to Llanthony Abbey (8 miles), an impressive 900-year-old ruin in the Vale of Ewyas.
Walk along the pathway to this cosy, single-storey pod then step directly into the kitchen, a compact yet functional space for whipping up quick meals after a day of adventure to an inviting lounge area. The pod's interior is all about natural charm, with bare wooden walls and floors, complemented by sleek LED spotlights. A door to the left leads to a lounge area with a comfortable sofa and a TV, along with a wood burner to keep you cosy on cooler evenings. Moving through a concertina door, you'll find a double bedroom offering a peaceful retreat, with a wall-mounted heater keeping you warm through the night. A shower room with a WC and a heated towel rail, accessible via the kitchen, completes the indoor space.
Head outside and explore the delightful, shared garden and enjoy a picnic on the benches with views out onto a working sheep farm. Just a short stroll down the pathway, you'll reach a parking area and a friendly local pub – excellent for enjoying a quiet drink at the end of the day.
