Nestled in the picturesque town of Hay-on-Wye in Herefordshire, this charming early Victorian lodge is ideally located just half a mile from the town center and the scenic River Wye. The accommodation is perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the rich culture of the area, with an abundance of second-hand and antiquarian bookshops, eclectic boutiques, antique shops, and art galleries to explore. Guests can also enjoy delightful dining options at local eateries or opt for a relaxing picnic by the river, making it a versatile destination for various interests and activities.
For the more adventurous, the lodge serves as a great base to engage in outdoor activities, such as canoeing or cycling. The nearby Black Mountains offer stunning landscapes and hiking opportunities, while a short 15-mile journey leads to Brecon, a gateway to extensive mountain trekking and cycling trails in the renowned Brecon Beacons. This balance of relaxation and adventure makes the lodge an appealing choice for both families and groups of friends seeking an enjoyable getaway.
This unique cottage, over 200 years old, boasts an array of delightful period features, including flagstone floors, oak beams, and beautifully crafted oak doors and floorboards. While the lodge is set on one level, it does have a couple of steps leading into the bedrooms, which may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. Accommodating up to four guests, the lodge features a separate kitchen, dining room, and living room, complete with a cozy wood burner for those chilly evenings. The dining room opens onto a sunny terrace, perfect for enjoying meals al fresco during warmer months.
The lodge's bathroom is equipped with both a bath and an electric shower, catering to different preferences, and guests can choose between two elegantly styled bedrooms—one king-size and one twin. Surrounded by a spacious garden that includes a lawn area and terrace with garden furniture, the lodge provides an idyllic setting for relaxation. Visitors can unwind on the terrace, taking in the stunning views of the hills and valleys, or enjoy a peaceful evening after a day of exploration. With the added incentive to bring along a BBQ, this lodge promises a delightful and memorable stay in the heart of England.
