Overview
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.

Surrounded by beautiful gardens that are rich in wildlife, this charming lodge is one of three properties set opposite the owners' home, and simply perfect for exploring the various trails and footpaths that will guide you onto the Sugar Loaf Mountain. Weary from your adventures, the local pub 0.5 miles away has a fine selection of real ales and hearty meals to save you from cooking. The local area is renowned for being popular amongst foodies, with two Michelin-starred restaurants and celebrated gastropubs within 9 miles. If you time your visit to coincide with the Abergavenny Food Festival in September, you’ll be in for a treat.

Accessed via a gently stepped path from the parking area, the property itself is a cosy retreat that sleeps two guests. The comfortable lounge is bright and spacious with natural light that streams in through the French doors and the room is equipped with a snug sofa and armchair, and a TV/DVD player. There is a spacious kitchen diner where you can enjoy home-cooked meals from the well-equipped kitchen complete with an electric cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, toaster, and coffee maker. The bedroom is spacious with a super-king-size zip-and-link that can be made into twin beds at the time of booking. And, for total relaxation, you can take advantage of the electric sauna. There is a shower room with a shower and a WC off the bedroom. Shared laundry facilities can be found on-site. The friendly owners can also be approached to ask about the best routes for exploring the area.

Outside, you'll find a sunny terrace with seating, alongside 3.5 acres of attractive gardens and a small area of woodland, home to a few curious pheasants that wander throughout the area. There are goats and pigs in the surrounding fields too. If you want to explore the local area, there is a path to Sugar Loaf Mountain right from the sun terrace.

We had fabulous time in Woodpecker Lodge. It was the perfect place for Hygge style long weekend with the local pub serving a gorgeous Sunday roast by an open fire. Accommodation was perfect and cosy. We definitely want to go again.

This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful and tranquil location. Whilst we had rain most of the week, we still enjoyed our stay. It was nice to see the pigs and goats in the adjacent field. It was well equipped and the shower was amazing, so rejuvenating after our days out.

Spacious and very well equipped accommodation. Facilities, garden and views very good. Local pub very good. Lane from main road to property is long, twisty and undulating. There are a good number of passing points but you do need your wits about you. It is worth it though!

A nice cottage for 2 people in a stunning location. The local village is also a scenic village with interesting features and hosting events such as a flute and piano recital. Local pub about 100M from the cottage is a gem.

We enjoyed a lovely break at this excellent property. It was spacious and comfortable for myself and my wife. The mattress was soft for our liking but wasn't a real problem. The large bedroom had an adjoining bathroom with a very nice shower. The Dragon's Head pub is within walking distance but seems sporadically open. There are some nice local walRead moreks, especially along the river past a 12th-century chestnut tree. If you go there, avoid driving along Llangenny Lane as it's a bit narrow. Hide

We stayed in woodpecker, Cottage is great practically ready to move into if you wanted. Very comfortable and has everything you need. Location is great, many walks in the area great pubs nearby as well. You feel like your in the sticks when in the garden as you cant hear or see any neighbours. It says they have sky but it's only the usual channels,Read more no extra like movies or sports. The mattress needs replacing as one side has a visible dip in it and the sofa isn't big enough to sleep on. Hide

An extremely peaceful week's break at Woodpecker Lodge. The apartment is spacious for two persons and is well equipped. The hosts are welcoming and on hand if needed - without being intrusive. Ideally placed just outside Crickhowell and the Dragons Head pub only half a mile away is ideal for an evening meal if you want to stay local.
