Swap the daily grind for some quality time out with your special someone at this former-boathouse sitting on the Llanover Estate on the banks of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. Sleeping two people in one bedroom and welcoming one canine companion, this single-storey detached lodge is the ideal retreat for romantic couples who want to explore the Brecon Beacons with their pup at their side. During the day, your pup’s tail is sure to wag during long walks along the canal towpath, and in the evening, you can come home to BBQ in the lodge’s pretty garden while your faithful friend enjoys the freedom to explore the enclosed space.
Step inside and make your way to the smart, spacious open-plan living/dining area. Slip onto a sofa and allow the elegant interior design to make you feel right at home. When it’s time to eat, head to the galley-style kitchen and whip up some dinner. You can then enjoy a romantic meal for two in the intimate dining area. Alternatively, head out into the garden, fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco. After dinner crack open a bottle of something cool and crisp and take in the country views until the stars come out, or relax in front of the TV in the living area. When the day is done, there’s a beautiful bedroom to retire to.
Spend a lovely day exploring the picturesque market town of Abergavenny (5 miles). Check out the boutique stores and galleries and then take a break in a dog-friendly café or pub. Alternatively, treat yourself to a tour and tasting at the lovely dog-friendly White Castle Vineyard (10.5 miles). Or head into Llangattock (11 miles), where you can hire a canoe at the boathouse. Your pup is welcome to join you onboard.
