The magnificent red kites at the feeding centre (3 miles) are also a must-see as well as the National Cycling Museum in Llandrindod Wells (9 miles).

The contemporary kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to create a tasty meal. The lodge also benefits from a much-loved wood burner which is the perfect addition for the winter months when you just want to snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy a movie.
