Escape to a charming and tranquil lakeside log cabin in South Wales with bright interiors from the large glass bi-fold doors, a warming wood burner and BBQ (bring your own charcoal) for warm summer evenings. This property is ideal for a group of five human and two canine guests who are seeking a relaxing stay with easy access to nearby beauty spots such as Newport Wetlands, Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) and Monmouthshire.
Step inside the property to find yourself in the open-plan living space with bi-folding doors which open up onto the patio which overlooks the lake. The ‘L’-shaped kitchen is well organised and modern. Next to this is the wooden dining table. The lounge is cosy with two sofas and two armchairs in front of the wood burner and TV. You’ll also find three bedrooms in the property – a twin, double and single. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath and a WC. Outside is a large patio with furniture and a chiminea.
During your stay on a working farm near Bassaleg (1.5 miles), an outer suburb of Newport, there will be scenic walking routes from your doorstep including a local dog walking field within a quarter of a mile. Bassaleg is also home to an array of canine-welcoming restaurants and pubs. If you’re a history geek, the moated 13th-century Caerphilly Castle is just 8 miles away and will make an excellent day out. Further afield is Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons National Park) (14 miles) – here you’ll find the Mynydd Garn-Wen nature reserve, the Clydach Gorge and Sugar Loaf Mountain all within 25 miles.
