Situated on a private estate gives this pretty lodge a romantic and secluded feel where you can completely submerse yourself in country life. The picturesque town of Builth Wells (8 miles) nestles in the heart of Powys and lies on the banks of the River Wye. This historic market town is bursting with life and home to the Royal Welsh Show, one of the biggest agricultural shows in the country. If you are seeking adventure, then take a day trip to the magnificent Brecon Beacons National Park (17 miles). Hike up Offa’s Dyke for a viewpoint that will take your breath away or try your hand at one of the various water sports available such as kayaking, white water rafting and paddleboarding.

 

This idyllic lakeside retreat is part of a small complex, accessed by a quiet private lane and steep path. Arranged over one floor, the lodge has been designed to offer an intimate and romantic style of accommodation. Entering the property, the open-plan layout is bright and fresh where large double doors open out onto a covered wooden balcony with BBQ, providing additional living space to enjoy all year round. The galley style kitchen is equipped with a two-ring electric hob, mini oven, microwave, slow cooker, electric steamer, fridge and toaster. Tucked peacefully away in the alcove lies one double bed adjacent to the shower room with shower and WC.

 

The lodge is accessed by a steep path and benefits from a spacious decked balcony area, boasting glorious hillside and valley views. This is the perfect setting to enjoy a glass of bubbly together in your own private hot tub whilst waiting for dinner. A rockery style garden surrounds the lodge that sits in a tranquil meadow setting. There is ample parking for two cars.

I stayed at Lilly Pond Lodge for a week - and spent my entire time there as a week of total relaxation. It was fantastic. The lodge, balcony and surrounding pond/grass area was perfect for my dog to just come in and out as he pleased. We used the back fields every day and, as an elderly dog, it was enough for his couple of walks a day. The balcony Read morewas great for sitting outside, in any weather, and the views were awesome.
