Property code: OC-WAA345

Stay in a charming wooden lodge on the edge of a wildlife-rich pond surrounded by mature trees and tranquil views of the surrounding farmland. Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee from the decking before long countryside walks with Fido around nearby nature reserves with picturesque viewpoints, waterfalls, forests and reservoirs. When you return to this property there is a games room on the grounds to enjoy and plenty of outdoor facilities like a tennis court and play area. Or if you want to relax, get stuck into a book on the mezzanine or sink into a bubble bath.

Step inside and walk across the oak flooring in the open-plan living area. There are two sofas in front of the wood burner and TV, next to the French doors which open up onto the decking. Cook a special meal for your guests in the spacious ‘U’-shaped kitchen around the corner before dining at the table and chairs. There is also a bathroom, utility room and a twin zip-and-link bedroom on this floor. Upstairs is a reading area on the mezzanine and a double bedroom with French doors that lead out to a balcony with a bistro table as well as an en-suite. Outside is a decking with furniture and a BBQ.

During your stay just 1 mile from the sleepy village of Trefeglwys, you’ll be within easy reach of numerous beautiful areas for tranquil dog walks. The closest is Clywedog reservoir (9 miles) and HIDE nature reserve (9 miles). Near here are Ffrwd Fawr Waterfall (8 miles), Glaslyn Nature Reserve (12 miles) and Cadair Viewpoint (11.5 miles). If you’re up for a challenge, Penygader is 27.5 miles away, where you can climb to the top of Cadair Idris in Snowdonia National Park for dramatic lake and valley views.

Derw Lodge lived up to our expectations as the location was great both for peace and tranquillity and for the sporting activities it offered. It was really spacious, internally, met all our culinary needs, and the beds provided real pleasure with undisturbed night's sleep (very important). The pond also provided stimulation with all its teeming wRead moreildlife visiting,. During the day. As it was on a working farm, we were able to use all the open footpaths to visit the surrounding villages and countryside and even reached the reservoir by foot. Nearby visits to Machynlleth and Corris added flavour to our appreciation of Welsh culture. We are happily recommending the lodge and, hopefully, will be staying again. Hide

We stayed for 7 days on this beautiful chalet, surrounded by trees, feeding birds and squirrels on the decking overlooking the pond, The dog was allowed in most of the fields as the cattle and sheep has been brought in for the winter, and as the darkness arrived we lit the wood burner every evening. This is a good base for exploring mid Wales. WeRead more thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Hide

This truly is a wonderful place to stay. The location is stunning, in peaceful surroundings, and the lodge itself beautiful, cosy and well equipped. One of the most relaxing places we have stayed in a long time. Great for dogs (especially nervous ones!), with quiet walks right from the front door. Thank you to Helen, for such a lovely stay.
