One of two holiday lodges with lakeside views surrounded by countryside, this delightful property offers peaceful, comfortable accommodation to couples or small families with the dogs in tow. The host village of Madley sits just one mile away, where you’ll find a local shop and a welcoming dog friendly village pub. Walkers and lovers of the outdoors will delight in the choice of trails all around, with popular spots including the famous Offa’s Dyke Path which passes through Hay-on-Wye (16 miles), which is otherwise known as the Town of Books thanks to the wealth of charming bookshop's that line its historic streets. Spend the day in the city of Hereford (7 miles) or visit the National Trust's Weir Garden (4.5 miles). Also within 16 miles are the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park – both of which are havens for outdoor adventures.

On arrival to this peaceful holiday lodge, take a moment to appreciate its elevated position and the splendid views of the nearby fishing lakes and distant, rolling countryside. Step into the vibrant entrance hall where you can kick off muddy walking boots or wipe down muddy paws, and walk into the heart of the lodge, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. After days of countryside rambles, settle in the comfortable seating where you can simply enjoy the views through the glass doors or flick on the Smart TV to catch up on your favourite shows. When it’s time to eat, find that the well-equipped kitchen sits at the rear of the living space and boasts everything needed to cook up holiday feasts for your loved ones. Gather around the traditional dining table here to enjoy the chef’s work, or outside on the terrace to dine alfresco-style. When day turns to night, head into the hallway which leads to two cosy bedrooms, both with calming decor and verdant views. Choose from a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, or served by the well-appointed family shower room, a welcoming twin room.

Outside, the tranquil garden space offers splendid views across the countryside and nearby fishing lakes. Enjoy al fresco morning brews and evening meals using the table and chairs on the terrace, and feel free to explore the shared grounds where you’ll find three lakes and lush farmland.

Lovely and quiet place with everything we needed in the lodge. Fishing was fun and a challenge! Great place for some r&r and the dog enjoyed it too. Owners are close by if you need anything and very friendly, happy to help with anything you need. Would definitely return if we wanted to be in that area again.

What a great find! We booked this holiday two weeks prior to the start date for Grandad to share his fishing lodge with our grandson. Very roomy. Furnishings were good and the kitchen well equipped. It was lovely to sit on the sofa with a coffee and watch the antics of the resident ducks, Coots and Swans while the guys were fishing across the pool.Read more Some good catches.

We had an amazing time here, owners were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The fishing was great and a 15lb fish was the highlight for my Son.

We had a lovely week at Kingfisher. The location is gorgeous and I loved having my morning tea sat outside with the lake view. The cotrage is new and is spacious and very well equipped. Both bedrooms are a good size. Owner is a friendly and helpful host.
