Take a break at this elegant period lodge which is brimming with character. Ideally suited to multi-generational families or friends looking for a getaway together, the property is surrounded by natural beauty and offers a selection of spaces for you to socialise, from the sunny conservatory to the beautiful garden. Whether you’re looking to relax and enjoy the local market towns, climb the Devil’s Staircase (8 miles) or wander through the whimsical woodland at Cwm Rhaeadr Forest (12 miles), you’lll not be short of wonderful days out during your stay.

Upon arrival, head straight to the library hall to gather with your guests, light the fire and get comfortable on the soft sofas and armchairs. Another reception is located across the hall with a TV and more comfortable seating, ideal for taking some time away and getting lost in a good book. The kitchen is at the heart of the home, finished to a high standard with a breakfast bar to bring the family together. When it’s time to dig into a feast cooked in the kitchen, the conservatory is furnished with a grand dining table, surrounded by idyllic scenery to admire through the dual-aspect windows. Take the staircase and you’ll find the four bedrooms, all tastefully decorated with special features of their own. The master bedroom boasts a super-king-size bed and a balcony overlooking the majestic countryside whilst the bunk room has playful decor and is well-suited to children. In addition, there is a further king-size bedroom and a twin offering flexibility in the sleeping arrangements. When the sun is shining, there’s no better place to be than in the garden which is filled with mature plant life as well as a lovely stream and a wildflower meadow.

Lovers of wildlife could pay a visit to The Red Kite Feeding Station (20 miles) to visit the daily spectacle of dinner time for these fascinating birds on the 160-acre farm – it offers a little something for all the family from orienteering walks to farm animals. Two quirky market towns can be found on the border of the Brecon Beacons, Brecon (23 miles) and Hay-on-Wye (30 miles), both perfect places to spend a leisurely afternoon with historic spots, bookshops and whimsical walking routes to explore.

What a cottage. Great surroundings with plenty of walks from the doorstep. Visited surrounding areas Conway, Llandudno and a stop of at Abergelee on the way home. The Lodge caters for large groups with a superb kitchen which is the heart of the Lodge. Two magnificent log fires to sit by and cosy up to on a chilly day. Five stars from the May family

This is a fabulous place to stay. The location is perfect; quiet, rural and beautiful for walks and relaxing. The Lodge is well equipped, with lots of basics provided for cooking, making that first night so easy. And the welcome hamper, fresh flowers and surprise cake in the fridge was such a lovely touch. We will definitely be going back!

What a lovely house in a lovely location. Walks from the door are great, and the river and wildlife it attracts is wonderful to see. It was too hot one day so we stayed at the cottage and it still felt as if we were on holiday as it is so spacious.

Far enough away from town to be peaceful yet close enough to Denbigh for a food shop or take away. Perfect! Hide
