Property code: BN296

Perfect for families, this unique lodge offers plenty to do from canoeing along the river Wye to exploring the Offa’s Dyke path before returning for a long hot bubble bath and relaxing evening in front of the wood burner.

With private access to the River Wye, canoe hire and a glorious rural setting, escape to this eco-friendly cottage for time away from it all. Perfect for families and groups of friends, this humble abode welcomes two of your canine companions along and houses two wood burners, one in the bedroom, so you can stay toasty warm throughout your stay.

Make your way inside and bask in the warmth of the lounge where artwork adorns the walls and an L-shaped sofa invites you to put your feet up by the wood burner. The lounge is also home to the beautiful dining table which looks out over the magnificent Black Mountains. Find all you need to cook up a storm in the kitchen which has a wood-fired range-style oven, perfect for slow-cooked dishes full of flavour. The pantry and laundry room lie just beyond the kitchen where you can find further facilities. Surrounded by woodland and gardens, fire up the BBQ on sunny days and enjoy an al fresco feast outside where the views reach far and wide across the landscape. When it’s time to head to bed, the king-size bedroom with en-suite bathroom and wood burner sits on the ground floor, whilst the two remaining bedrooms are situated on the first floor. The first-floor bedrooms are treated to panoramic views through quirky windows.

Forget the car and hop on the Offa’s Dyke Path and Wye Valley Walk straight from home, or make a splash and hire a canoe from the owners to wind your way down the River Wye. Close to home, the charming literary town of Hay-on-Wye is less than a mile away and boasts a plethora of bookshops and places to eat.

This is our 4th time staying at Racquety Farm, 2nd at the lodge. Its just perfect. Beautiful rural location with fantastic dog walks by the river and only a short walk across the fields to Hay on Wye. The house itself is so comfortable and well equipped and Ros so welcoming and relaxed it feels like our second home. Will be back again next year.

What a fantastic place to stay! We had a wonderful week in Racquety Lodge. It was warm, well equipped, light and spacious and had the most beautiful views and walks from the door. It was just a ten minute walk into Hay-on-Wye but felt remote and rural when you were on site. The owners were extremely helpful and the information package comprehensiveRead more and very useful. We would definitely love to return one day! Hide
