Overlooking the stunning Usk Valley from the foothills of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, this comfortable lodge is perfectly suited to small families and groups of up to four humans and two hounds. Boasting an impressive gastronomic reputation and more walks than your four-pawed pal could wish for, the local area is a delight to explore with a plethora of quintessential villages and bustling market towns to discover. Weary from your busy day, return to relax on the terrace with a glass of wine and a few treats for Fido.
Comfortable and spacious, the property offers beautiful views and is encircled by shared gardens and a small patch of woodland occupied by roaming pheasants. Head inside to unwind with family films and leisurely meals - cooking up a storm in the country-cottage kitchen under the watchful eyes of Rover. There are two bedrooms to provide a welcome sanctuary after a busy day, one featuring a double bed and the other a zip and link king-size bed, sharing a contemporary shower room, and there is a shared on-site laundry room to take care of all your washing needs. For the humans there is a private sauna nestled among the gardens where you can relax and recharge after long walks while your pooch has a snooze in the lodge. You’ll have sole use of a private decked area outside with a table and chairs, but your waggy-tailed companion will appreciate a good nose around the shared gardens and woodland too. Start the day with a coffee in the sunshine then begin your adventures from your doorstep by following the trail leading up the mountain.
Venture into historic Crickhowell 2 miles away to investigate the motte and bailey castle, independent shops, and eateries, or take the short 5-mile drive to Abergavenny to sample an array of local delights including fine cheeses, rustic bread and locally distilled whisky. Browse the market or time your visit with the annual food festival to soak up the celebratory atmosphere, rounding off with a stroll along the river with a very full-bellied pup.
