Overview
Property code: OC-BOW197

Take in awe-inspiring views from the balcony, patio or conservatory of this remarkable lodge on the River Wye. Benefiting from an exceptional rural location yet just 2 miles from the bustling hub of Builth Wells, a stay here offers all guests the chance to truly get immersed in country life. The lodge itself sleeps seven guests across four beautifully presented bedrooms. Spend time as a family either indoors or out, making use of the sprawling garden with remarkable river views or stepping inside for fun-filled evenings of snooker and pool.

This holiday let is authentically rustic with original beams, rich oak fixtures and a farmhouse kitchen with stone-flagged flooring and a working Aga. The kitchen acts as a real social hub of the house, complete with a breakfast table on one side. Elsewhere there are two large lounges to relax in, one with the adjacent games conservatory, an impressive inglenook fireplace with a wood burner and a Smart TV to turn on as you curl up in a cushy sofa or armchair. There’s a second spot with plush seating and a Smart TV in the downstairs snug, alongside two ground-floor bedrooms and a shower room. Step upstairs to discover two further bedrooms, each benefiting from remarkable views in their elevated position. The master bedroom is truly stunning with French doors leading out onto a private balcony.

A superb base for fishermen, the River Wye is mere metres away and plenty of private beats provide day tickets close by. Those who prefer to leave the rods at home will enjoy lacing up walking boots and setting off on a hike, following The Wye Valley Walk which passes by mere meters away or setting off in the car to embark on adventures far and wide from the Brecon Beacons National Park (18 miles).

We are a family of 5 adults and our dog stayed at this beautiful lodge with a wonderful outlook over the river. Plenty of red kites were spotted in the mornings having breakfast under the canopy. The birdsong and gentle mooing of the nearby cows were the only sounds we could hear. Being away from the traffic was bliss. The lodge had everything we nRead moreeeded. Good quality bedding and soft towels. Several hours were spent around the pool table after a busy day of sight seeing and an enjoyable break was had by all. Hide

It was just perfect - house, location, condition, all! Oh no, one thing: the internet is more than poor up there. It was a matter of chance to be connected.

The router and internet connection need sorting out, a few other small issues to do with some of the kitchen kit, but dealt with by the extremely capable housekeeper, Jo. Jo was simply brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. We are already deciding what dates to return.

Fantastic location, beautiful cosy property, fantastic kitchen supplies, views and bathroom facilities. The only issue our children had was the low level of Wi-Fi (but that didnt bother us, it was nice to be a little off grid for a week!)

Both bathrooms have been refurbished since the photos on the website were taken, there is now a large walk in shower in the downstairs bathroom and a large bath upstairs. Excellent improvements.

The property was essentially perfect in every way. Location, peace and quiet, quality, facilities all outstanding. The view from the property was worth every penny if the cost. Only small gripe: We had a few equipment pieces missing, eg a whisk, the kettle was only big enough for 2 cups of tea (7 of us in the property!), no bin bags, no linen bagsRead more as per the departure procedures, snooker table had cues but most had no tips, no fans (very hot week!), WiFi was poor (not that I was bother but my teenagers were upset they couldnt watch Netflix!). Have used many other cottage companies before but on this experience will consider Original Cottages for our next bookings. Wish could have stayed in this one forever :-) Hide
