Access Statement

The lodge is situated on a farm track (no gates to open). Immediately adjacent to the property is a fenced-off parking area with a wide gateway but there is also plenty of room for car parking and turning round outside this area.  The side door is accessed via a paved area and doorstep.  There is ramped access onto the large front decked balcony with three sets of French windows (two into lounge and one into downstairs twin bedroom).  The French windows have low sills. 

 

There are no steps within the ground floor of the lodge and there is new oak flooring throughout, except the shower room which is tiled.  The living room, kitchen and dining room areas are open plan and the doors to the utility area, twin bedroom and downstairs shower room are 820mm wide.  The walk in shower is set low to the ground so has a very small step (less than 2ins) into it. 

 

All internal doors have latch handles.  Walls are painted in pale colours and rooms are well lit with ceiling lights and lamps are provided in the bedrooms and the living room.  There is a colour TV and DVD player with remote controls.  There is full central heating throughout with thermostatic valve controls.  There is a large wood-burning stove in the lounge. 

 

The stairs have a handrail on one side and lead up to the double bedroom.  The stairs, bedroom and mezzanine room are all carpeted and the bathroom has a tiled floor.  The mezzanine area overlooks the main living area and is accessed through the upstairs bedroom with a step in the doorway between the two. 

 

A garden table and chairs to seat four are provided on the large balcony and a small table and two chairs on the upstairs balcony.  A barbecue can be provided by arrangement.  The large balcony over the pond is gated at both ends and railed on all sides, however the garden areas around the lodge are not completely child or pet proof and children must be accompanied at all times by a responsible adult due to the close proximity of the water. 

 

The nearest railway station is 4 miles away at Caersws and National Express buses stop at Llanidloes (4 miles).  Shops and places to eat and drink can be found in Llanidloes.

 

There is no telephone at the property, however most mobile phones have operational coverage inside the lodge (some networks are better than others).  There is an information pack and OS map of the locality.

Reviews

Lovely, peaceful, relaxing lodge very well equiped & comfortable.

Mr W,

Extremely cozy and comfortable accommodation. In a quiet and tranquil location. Very well equipped lodge. Lots of dog walking available on the door step. Kind and hospitable hosts.

Mrs P,

Perfect location and accommodation for a short getaway. Despite poor weather it had everything we needed. Really enjoyed the games room.

Mr R,

Perfect. The views from Derw Lodge are phenomenal. It's on a working farm so there were views of cows and sheep in fields right next to the lodge. A DVD player is provided though with a list of DVDs available from the hosts. The upstairs mezzanine has its own small living area which was perfect for our teen, they had their own 'flat' but were still there just above the main living room. There are plenty of walks direct from the farm, our dog came home very tired from all the walking! It's ideally located for any other site seeing that you may want to do. Log burner for those cooler nights as well. Everything was provided and the washer/dryer was invaluable for the weather we had when we stayed. I'd highly recommend it

Mrs W,

Cottage was perfect and better than we had imagined. The owner was so lovely and welcoming and was at hand for any issues we had. Will definitely be returning, the perfect location for a break from a busy reality!

Mrs Alicia G,

The Lodge is in a wonderful location and extremely comfortable. The balcony is perfect for sunny breakfasts listening to the birds, and the deck catches the afternoon and evening sun. We very much enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning next year.

Mr W,
