For a restful holiday on the England-Wales border, stay at this modern wooden lodge on the outskirts of Presteigne (0.5 miles), a charming historical town known for its music and arts festivals. While away mornings admiring local black-and-white timbered buildings, cobbled streets and cosy tea rooms that transport you to a bygone era. Fans of history will love visiting the Grade II-listed Judges’ Lodgings (0.5 miles), a Victorian museum complete with restored apartments, a courtroom and cells. Because of the area’s elevation (around 270 metres), breathtaking views are the norm, making it wonderful for exploring by foot or bike. Nearby trails include the Mortimer Trail (7 miles) and Offa’s Dyke (3 miles), with scenic gems like Wigmore Castle and Croft Ambrey (11 miles) along the way. Kington (7 miles) is celebrated for its Hergest Croft Gardens, while Ludlow (16.5 miles) has a medieval castle and an atmospheric market. A little further away is Hay-on-Wye (18 miles), famous for its bookshops and the gateway to the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Once you’ve admired its impressive alpine-style appearance, step inside this delightful home to find a welcoming open-plan kitchen and living area. Cook up yummy holiday meals in the kitchen, perhaps with produce from Presteigne’s monthly farmers' market. On the ground floor, you’ll find a cosy double bedroom with an en-suite shower. The rooms boast lovely large windows allowing plenty of natural light in. Head up the wooden staircase to the first floor, where you’ll find a king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, alongside an inviting twin room featuring its own en-suite shower.
Outside, you’ll love the garden space, complete with two patios: a covered patio ideal for lounging and a second patio with a picnic bench surrounded by grassy banks – a perfect spot for al fresco dining or soaking in the scenery. As night falls, slip into the warming hot tub and gaze across the starry sky. Private parking for 3 cars.
