The space

With room for ten people, this is a space you’ll fall in love with. The Lodge has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, with large communal areas both inside and out in the private garden and a fully fitted kitchen. There’s room to bring the whole family, including four-legged friends who are very welcome at The Lodge too, and will no doubt love the countryside walks much as you do. To get a feel for the layout, take a look at our floorplan of The Lodge.

Perfect for a visit in any season, you can cosy up around the wood-burning fire after a day in the countryside or relax in the sunshine on the terrace. The enclosed terrace also has a BBQ and a fire-pit to enjoy.

Local culture and groups

Enjoy all the inspiring culture that England and Wales have to offer in this beautiful corner of the countryside, such as Hay-on-Wye’s book shops and Literature Festival, which are only a 20-minute drive away.

Interest groups such as yoga, walkers and sports are very welcome, but we do not accommodate hen or stag parties. The Lodge can accommodate a maximum of 2 dogs. Unfortunately we cannot permit guest access to the farm itself due to livestock and heavy machinery.
