Property code: 84647

A cosy retreat set within the banks of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, perfect for two. Enjoy endless walks from the doorstep and plenty of welcoming country pubs nearby.

Tucked away in the pretty village of Llangenny, not far from bustling Crickhowell, this charming cottage offers the perfect base for a romantic walkers’ retreat. Sleeping two guests and a dog, the property comes equipped with everything you may need for a comfortable stay in the Brecon Beacons, including the additional luxury touch of a sauna for easing those aching muscles after a trip up Sugar Loaf mountain. Discover nearby Abergavenny or simply make yourselves at home in Crickhowell, always returning to the cottage’s comfortable surroundings wherever your day’s adventure may take you. On arrival, you’re met with a cosy lounge that’s perfect for two, complete with a love seat sofa and a TV to keep you entertained. Continue through into the spacious kitchen which offers an ideal sleeping spot for your four-pawed pal. All of the appliances have been thought through to take the load off throughout your stay, including the addition of a dishwasher and a coffee machine. For dinner, you have the option to step out via French doors to dine alfresco from the pretty lounge or settle at the dining table indoors. Also on the ground floor is a bedroom with a zip-and-link super-king-size bed for versatility. As they’re often on hand to offer advice on the local area, you may perhaps ask the property’s owners which walking routes they’d recommend. Located in the foothills of Sugar Loaf mountain, you’ll even find a waymarked pathway leading to the summit from the cottage’s back garden. Should you wish to try out a less taxing hike, Table Mountain is close by (3.5 miles) and offers a great view of Crickhowell (2 miles). Head to the top and admire the view whilst planning which Crickhowell or Abergavenny (5 miles) restaurant you wish to frequent that evening.

We loved Woodpecker Lodge. It is in a peaceful location overlooking the hills. It was well equipped and decorated to a high standard which we appreciated and worthy of 5 stars all round. The local pub The Dragon Head served excellent value for money food but was only open from Thursday onwards.

Had a lovely week in Woodpecker Lodge. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. Milk in the fridge and Welsh cakes were a nice touch. The cottage is situated on the side of a hill which makes for steep walks. Great views from the gardens which are lovely with many interesting plants. Owners friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommendRead more. Hide

Was slightly worried that the lodge was on the ground floor with another lodge on top. If the top lodge has noisy visitors it could be a problem, Our holiday neighgours were quiet. The grounds around the lodges and the views are wonderful and the area is very quiet. Great pub in the village with very good food at cheap prices.
