About this property
This woodland eco-lodge near Hay-on-Wye in the Brecon Beacons, is set within an organic farm and surrounded by peaceful forest and river views. Just one mile from the famous book town of Hay-on-Wye, this sustainably built retreat combines countryside tranquillity with easy access to independent shops, cafés, galleries and the popular weekly market.
Perfect for nature lovers, walkers and families, the lodge sits in an elevated woodland position rich in birdlife and wildlife, with opportunities to spot foxes, badgers and native birds right from the property. The River Wye is nearby for wild swimming, canoeing and riverside walks, while renowned trails including the Wye Valley Walk, Offa’s Dyke Path and the Black Mountains offer outstanding walking, cycling and scenic exploration within the Brecon Beacons National Park.
