Lakeside Loft

About this property

Enjoying a secluded spot on a working sheep farm at the foothills of the Black Mountains, this gorgeous bolthole surrounded by unspoilt countryside, interesting wildlife and seasonal fauna is the ultimate romantic couples retreat for those craving an escape from everyday life.

Affording wonderful countryside views, the light and bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner perfectly marries sophistication with comfort; stylish contemporary design combined with homely touches, including sumptuously soft furnishings and a characterful sloped ceiling, sets the scene for pure relaxation. On a fine evening, throw open the patio doors to unwind to the soothing sounds of the local lake. Boasting a charming arched window and plenty of natural sunlight, the spacious double bedroom provides a haven of tranquillity to retire to before kick-starting your next adventure with an invigorating shower in the elegant shower room. Enjoy your misty morning coffee at sunrise or a glass of something chilled at sundown from the comfort of the fabulous, enclosed balcony, which offers panoramic rural vistas. Before bedtime, take a soothing stroll around the lake and surrounding farm walks. Private parking is available for two cars.

This glorious countryside location in the shadow of the Black Mountains is a haven for anyone who loves nothing better than walking, hiking and cycling the great outdoors. Join the Offa''s Dyke trail to walk across the magnificent Hatterrall Ridge (6 miles) to the Hay Bluff (15.5 miles) and be rewarded with spectacular rural vistas.
