Property code: 84647

A cosy retreat set within the banks of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, perfect for two. Enjoy endless walks from the doorstep and plenty of welcoming country pubs nearby.

Set within 3.5 acres of beautiful gardens and woodland, this cosy lodge in Mid Wales is a pup’s paradise. When you’re not sniffing for pheasants amongst the trees, tackle the mighty Sugar Loaf Mountain, just steps from the front door, before stopping for a bite to eat at the dog-friendly pub just half a mile from home. After adventure-filled days, return to this spacious retreat for a moment of relaxation in the sauna, an al fresco dinner on the terrace or a cosy evening curled up on the sofa with your tired pooch nearby.

 

With hardwood floors, generous rooms and easy access to the garden, this one-bedroom lodge is a fuss-free pad for romantic getaways with the dog. Offering plenty of space for entertaining, the kitchen/diner is fitted with everything you could need for preparing home-cooked meals for pet and owners. Meanwhile, the comfortable lounge is an inviting space for relaxing by both day and night, with its TV/DVD player and patio doors to the garden. When the day is done, retire to the tastefully finished king-size bedroom for the night. Outside, find plenty of space to roam, relax and get back to nature with your four-legged friend.

 

With no shortage of routes to discover, let your pooch lead the way as you follow one of the many trails and footpaths towards Sugar Loaf Mountain. One of the highest in the Black Mountains, this iconic peak is a haven for wildlife, a thrill for walkers and a playground for pups with its heather-clad slopes and enticing smells. Meanwhile, more leisurely strolls can be enjoyed along the banks of the River Usk. This gentle river winds its way to the Georgian town of Crickhowell (1.5 miles), home to an Iron Age castle, selection of eateries and spectacular views.

We loved Woodpecker Lodge. It is in a peaceful location overlooking the hills. It was well equipped and decorated to a high standard which we appreciated and worthy of 5 stars all round. The local pub The Dragon Head served excellent value for money food but was only open from Thursday onwards.

Had a lovely week in Woodpecker Lodge. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. Milk in the fridge and Welsh cakes were a nice touch. The cottage is situated on the side of a hill which makes for steep walks. Great views from the gardens which are lovely with many interesting plants. Owners friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommendRead more. Hide

Was slightly worried that the lodge was on the ground floor with another lodge on top. If the top lodge has noisy visitors it could be a problem, Our holiday neighgours were quiet. The grounds around the lodges and the views are wonderful and the area is very quiet. Great pub in the village with very good food at cheap prices.
