Derw Lodge

This lovely wooden-clad lodge, located on a farm, is a great escape for couples or small families, set in a tranquil location with pretty countryside views to be enjoyed from the decked garden. Pack a picnic and discover the 70 miles of the Elan Valley taking a gentle stroll beside one of the lakes, or venturing out along the Elan Valley Walk to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this area.

The open-plan living area is a great space to kick back and relax in the warmth of the wood burner in the colder months, or to throw open the French doors to extend the space out onto the decked garden and an unfenced pond. Featuring exposed beams and wooden furniture throughout, the property retains much of its original charm which makes it feel like home from the moment you step inside. When you’re craving a homecooked meal, the spacious kitchen is equipped with everything you’ll need, with the dining table located just around the corner for family mealtimes. The first bedroom features zip-and-link twin beds , which can be made up as a super king-size bed on request, and which has French doors which open out to look over the wildlife-rich pond; a tranquil place for a morning coffee. Next door is a downstairs shower room. Up on the first floor is the second bedroom which is a double, with windows that open out onto a quaint balcony with a table and chairs where you can soak in the sights. This room also boasts an en-suite bathroom and access to a mezzanine reading area.

Take a trip into the town of Llandeilo (4 miles) to experience the colourful local culture which offers up a great selection of local eateries, from pubs and cafes to fish and chip shops and restaurants. Head to Hafren Forest (13 miles) for a day out surrounded by natural beauty in the form of majestic waterfalls, fascinating wildlife and adrenaline-inducing biking trails. Here you can see the source of the River Severn and embark on a stretch of the Severn Walk which stretches for 210 miles in total through mountainous landscapes alongside Britain’s longest river.
