Located just 0.5 miles from the heart of Hay-on-Wye and the serene River Wye, this charming early Victorian lodge offers something for everyone. Spend your day wandering through Hay-on-Wye’s renowned second-hand and antiquarian bookshops, unique boutiques, antique stores, and art galleries. Afterward, enjoy a meal at one of the local restaurants or pack a picnic for a relaxing riverside retreat. For those seeking adventure, you can hire a canoe, hop on a bike, or venture a short distance south to explore The Black Mountains. Alternatively, take a 15-mile trip to Brecon, the gateway to the breathtaking trails and cycling routes of the Brecon Beacons.

This characterful cottage, now over 200 years old, is full of period charm, featuring flagstone floors, oak beams, and original doors and floorboards. While mostly on one level, it includes a couple of steps up to the bedrooms, which may not be ideal for guests with limited mobility. The lodge offers a well-equipped kitchen, a separate dining room, and a cozy living room with a wood burner, perfect for snug evenings. Patio doors in the dining room lead to a sunny terrace, ideal for warmer days. The bathroom includes both a bath and an electric shower, while two stylish bedrooms – one king-size and one twin – provide a restful retreat.

Set within a spacious garden, the lodge features a lawn and a terrace with outdoor furniture. The terrace is perfect for soaking up the sunshine, enjoying peaceful views of the hillside, or looking down the valley toward Hay-on-Wye. It’s also a delightful spot to unwind with a BBQ after a day of exploring this enchanting area.
