The Lodge at Abercamlais Estate, a traditional stone grotto-style lodge in the Brecon Beacons National Park, is available to book through holidaycottages.co.uk. The property features a wood burner, an enclosed garden and access to outdoor activities, making it a potential option for an autumn break.
Lodge features and location
The lodge stands alone at the head of a private country estate and includes a traditional storm porch. Inside, there is a lounge with a wood burner and TV, a bespoke kitchen, a bathroom with a deep bath overlooking the garden, and a bedroom with a king-size bed.
The property has a secure garden, which previous guests have praised, along with access to a stretch of the River Usk for wild swimming, free fly fishing during fishing season, an all-weather tennis court and a wild meadow walk. Bike storage and parking for two cars are available, and tours of the estate and local produce can be arranged with the owner.
Guest reviews
One visitor wrote: "Beautiful cottage in a stunning location, with a large, enclosed garden, which was great for our dog. The paddock was lovely for morning and evening strolls, with the river Usk running through the estate grounds. Friendly and helpful owners."
Another added: "An absolutely lovely lodge with everything you need. Location perfect for exploring the Brecons and beautiful walks right on the doorstep. We had an amazing time and will be booking next year for a longer period."
A further review said: "Wonderful cottage close to the River Usk for some lovely walks. Great secure garden for a dog." Another described it as: "Absolutely stunning lodge which was very comfortable and had everything we wanted and more. Lovely accommodation, very comfortable and clean - great garden area set in fabulous grounds with very accommodating hosts."
Alternative accommodation
The lodge sleeps two guests, so larger groups may need alternative accommodation. Mill House on Luxury Cottages sleeps up to 10 guests across five bedrooms and five bathrooms, combining 260 years of history with modern comforts. Another option is The Ariel at Nash Point Lighthouse on Rural Retreats, a former lighthouse keeper’s cottage that sleeps five guests and welcomes two dogs, offering access to sandy beaches and coastal walks.
