  • A delightfully quirky 1890's Victorian cottage that wears its history for all to see
  • A stone’s throw from the literary town of Hay-on-Wye
  • Walk, ride or drive through the dramatic scenery of the Welsh border
Property code: BN226

Situated a short distance north of Hay-on-Wye, this characterful former gatehouse provides a great base for exploring the ‘town of books’, the River Wye and the borderland of England and Wales.

Sitting on a side road through to Clifford, and close to Hay-on-Wye, renowned for its bookshops and culture, this lodge is perfect for families with four-legged friends. A great base for adventuring your way around the Brecon Beacons National Park, spend days out and about before returning home to snuggle up by the wood burner or watch the sunset from the terrace.

 

This single-storey cottage boasts a handful of traditional features such as oak beams, flagstone floors and oak doors. Step inside and make yourself at home in the cosy lounge where a wood burner sits in the traditional fireplace and light floods in through the large windows. The kitchen is also a light space and has all you need to cook delicious feasts, including a double oven for roasting and cooking up a storm. Plate up at the dining table where you can raise a glass to time spent together and gaze out through the patio doors. If the sun is shining, open the patio doors and head outside to dine alfresco. The large garden boasts lovely views across the valley. Step up three steps in to the main king-size bedroom or choose the light and airy twin bedroom, where you can rest your head before soaking in the tub to get the day off to a relaxing start.

 

Walk less than a mile into the literary town of Hay-on-Wye where there are bookshops galore and plenty of places to grab a tasty meal or walk along the River Wye. For a lovely picnic spot by the water, head to The Warren (1.5 miles) where a shingle beach is great for laying down a blanket and tucking in. Travel into the National Park and climb the highest peak in South Wales, Pen-y-Fan (24 miles) or visit the largest natural lake in South Wales, Llangorse (13.5 miles).

The location of the cottage is fantastic, close to town but surrounded by countryside. We had fantastic weather during our stay so thoroughly enjoyed the lovely garden, and the visiting woodpeckers were a bonus!

Another wonderful stay at Lower Moor Lodge. Such a lovely place to retreat to. Beds were incredibly comfortable. The garden is lovely and although just on the outskirts of Hay it feels completely remote. For meals out, We recommend trying the burgers at The Globe at Hay.

A wonderful period property full of the nooks and crannies that you'd expect from something 200 years old. Perfect for those that are prepared to leave there sense of entitlement at home and just appreciate the property for what it is. Lovely views over the fields and close enough to Hay on Wye to walk into. Nice and cosy with well equipped kitchenRead more - more than enough for one or two couples.

We had a great stay, brilliant weather and lovely, characterful cottage. Although on the road, it wasn't busy and handy being close to Co-Op, and Hay itself, only used the car once which was a treat. Cottage was compact but worked well for us and our two children, kitchen well-equipped, TV had Sky and DVD player, and the beds really comfy.
