Retreat to this sumptuous stone house in gorgeous grounds, with a lake, close to Hay-on-Wye. Sleeping 10 guests, the luxurious, five-bedroom retreat nestles in magnificent gardens where you and you family and friends can fish, canoe and go wild swimming.

Make your way inside to gather in the lounge in front of a roaring wood burner. Play group games in here, watch the TV and open the doors to the garden on summer days so everyone can spill outside.

We had a lovely family holiday week at The Lake House. There were 10 of us covering 3 generations. The house is very spacious and great for cooking and enjoying meals together. We all particularly enjoyed the games room, set up for playing table tennis and table football. The garden and lake are amazing and canoeing on the lake was a big hit with tRead morehe kids especially. We even spotted an otter walking across the garden to the stream. We would thoroughly recommend this property. Hide

This is the best place we have stayed in for many years. Having a large adventurous dog means a private lake and grounds really reduces the stress on us plus durable furniture and hard floors mean inside is also well set up for dogs ( and children!)
