Property code: OC-84647

Surrounded by beautiful gardens that are rich in wildlife, this charming lodge is one of three properties set opposite the owners' home, and simply perfect for exploring the various trails and footpaths that will guide you onto the Sugar Loaf Mountain. Weary from your adventures, the local pub 0.5 miles away has a fine selection of real ales and hearty meals to save you from cooking. The local area is renowned for being popular amongst foodies, with two Michelin-starred restaurants and celebrated gastropubs within 9 miles. If you time your visit to coincide with the Abergavenny Food Festival in September, you’ll be in for a treat.

Accessed via a gently stepped path from the parking area, the property itself is a cosy retreat that sleeps two guests. The comfortable lounge is bright and spacious with natural light that streams in through the French doors and the room is equipped with a snug sofa and armchair, and a TV/DVD player. There is a spacious kitchen diner where you can enjoy home-cooked meals from the well-equipped kitchen complete with an electric cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, toaster, and coffee maker. The bedroom is spacious with a super-king-size zip-and-link that can be made into twin beds at the time of booking. And, for total relaxation, you can take advantage of the electric sauna. There is a shower room with a shower and a WC off the bedroom. Shared laundry facilities can be found on-site. The friendly owners can also be approached to ask about the best routes for exploring the area.

Outside, you'll find a sunny terrace with seating, alongside 3.5 acres of attractive gardens and a small area of woodland, home to a few curious pheasants that wander throughout the area. There are goats and pigs in the surrounding fields too. If you want to explore the local area, there is a path to Sugar Loaf Mountain right from the sun terrace.

Our host was very welcoming and helpful. Woodpecker Lodge is in a very tranquil setting but unfortunately our stay was spoiled by the neighbours in the lodge above us, who were excessively noisy and totally inconsiderate of others.

The location is brilliant, but the layout is poorly considered - the shower doesn't accommodate shorter individuals or have enough shelf space - neither does the sink; the dining table is too small and its circular shape is impractical; the layout of the kitchen is impractical as well with the dining table right next to the bedroom door and the disRead morehwasher stuck in a corner Hide

From arrival to departure it was a wonderful stay. The owner was on hand but never intrusive, gave a brief run down on arrival and then left us to make ourselves at home. The fresh milk and tea/coffee was very welcome on arrival. The lodge had everything required for a homely stay, was very clean and well equipped. The gardens are absolutely stunniRead moreng and the resident pigs and goats are entertaining. It's a perfect location for walkers, and not too far to Abergavenny or Crickhowell for supplies etc. All in all, a wonderful stay which I'm sure won't be our last! Hide

Our accommodation was lovely. Spotlessly clean. There was two pints of milk, tea, coffee, sugar, Welsh cakes and biscuits all provided.

This cottage was first class for us as a couple. Warm and spacious. The directions on the web site took us to the cottage which is not an easy drive, as may be expected. The local pub was not serving food on the day we thought to go, and we drove to another.

We enjoyed a lovely break at this excellent property. It was spacious and comfortable for myself and my wife. The mattress was soft for our liking but wasn't a real problem. The large bedroom had an adjoining bathroom with a very nice shower. The Dragon's Head pub is within walking distance but seems sporadically open. There are some nice local walRead moreks, especially along the river past a 12th-century chestnut tree. If you go there, avoid driving along Llangenny Lane as it's a bit narrow. Hide
