1 bedroom Cottage near Abergavenny, South Wales, Wales

Feel at one with nature when you stay at this gorgeous South Wales retreat. Nestled at the heart of Bannau Brycheiniog, also known as the Brecon Beacons, the lovely, one-bedroom log cabin offers exquisite accommodation for two near Crucorney, 4.5 miles from Abergavenny. Overlooking the still waters of a beautiful, wildlife lake, it makes a perfect romantic bolthole for couples.

Follow the wooden walkway across to your own secret holiday haven, which has been carefully created with reclaimed timber. Pull off your walking boots or wellies under the covered veranda and wander inside to find a warm welcome in accommodation featuring an abundance of wood. The lounge/kitchen/diner has a high ceiling and glass doors to your waterside balcony. Light the wood burner in here on chilly days, then cuddle up on the sofa. Read your books, make plans for the following day and decide what to rustle up for tonight’s candle-lit dinner. Discover the kitchen area is well-equipped to help you in your preparation of tasty meals. Pull out the table in here to dine or carry your plates out into the fresh air. When night falls, amble through to your delightful double bedroom to enjoy a wonderful night’s sleep in this secluded setting. The bedroom has an en-suite shower room. Step outside to watch the wildlife and relax with a cup of coffee or glass of wine as you look out over the water.

Venture out on long walks from the lodge, including up the Sugar Loaf Mountain. Make trips into Abergavenny, which is renowned for its local produce, to stock up on provisions and dine out. Visit the castle ruins while you are here too. Plan a day trip to Hay-on-Wye, 22 miles away, to potter in the many second-hand book shops and canoe on the River Wye.
