A perfect retreat for the whole family as well as a four-legged friend, this property boasts a laid back and rural vibe. Stunning country views prevail over both the impressive Black Mountain range and a glistening lake. There’s lots of things to do for all the family, including a games room and of course the lake which is great for swimming or fishing.

 

The luxury property is cosy but spacious enough for everyone to fit comfortably throughout, with the lounge retaining a traditional feel with exposed beams and a wood burner; relax on one of the comfy sofas with your canine curled up at your feet. For the kids, there is a selection of family games to enjoy of an evening whilst drinking in the views of the garden. If you need to work during your stay, there is a handy study with desk – so no need to stress about not getting your work done. Five light and airy bedrooms are spread across the property. There is a games room which is fun for all the family and there is a piano, punch bag, table tennis and table football there for your enjoyment.

 

The Welsh Border town of Hay-on-Wye is just 3 miles away. Why not take a cycle ride to the town before browsing the shops it has to offer; it also hosts a world-famous book festival. Take your four-pawed pal for the walk or run of its life on the Black Mountains whilst taking in the beautiful scenery on the endless trails. Further afield, the Cathedral town of Hereford is 24 miles away; enjoy the Hereford Cider Museum or drop into the Weir Garden for a lovely walk. Further afield, Brecon Beacons is well worth the 20-mile journey with an endless list of adventures on offer: rock climbing, abseiling, gorge walking, rafting, canoeing, archery, caving and pot holing to name a few.

We had a lovely family holiday week at The Lake House. There were 10 of us covering 3 generations. The house is very spacious and great for cooking and enjoying meals together. We all particularly enjoyed the games room, set up for playing table tennis and table football. The garden and lake are amazing and canoeing on the lake was a big hit with tRead morehe kids especially. We even spotted an otter walking across the garden to the stream. We would thoroughly recommend this property. Hide

This is the best place we have stayed in for many years. Having a large adventurous dog means a private lake and grounds really reduces the stress on us plus durable furniture and hard floors mean inside is also well set up for dogs ( and children!)
