You can also enjoy driving, walking, cycling, and canoeing around the Elan Valley (5 miles) and Claerwen Valley (8 miles), as well as experiencing breathtaking views. The magnificent red kites at the feeding centre (3 miles) are also a must-see as well as the National Cycling Museum in Llandrindod Wells (9 miles).
Stepping through the front door, you enter a bright and spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which is a perfect place for socialising and relaxing after a busy day of hiking or cycling around the local area. The contemporary kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to create a tasty meal. The lodge also benefits from a much-loved wood burner which is the perfect addition for the winter months when you just want to snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy a movie.
