Description

This luxurious, spacious lodge makes the perfect holiday home for family or friends wanting to get together and enjoy quality time in beautiful Welsh surroundings. The lodge is set on private grounds and you instantly start to appreciate the beauty and tranquillity of the lake and surrounding area as you drive to the property. The lodge is situated just 3 miles from the picturesque market town of Rhyader, otherwise known as the outdoor capital of Wales. The town offers plenty of shops selling local produce, and places to eat and drink. 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. On the ground floor, you’ll also find two super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite wet room. There is also a second separate wet room on the ground floor. On the first floor, there are two spectacular super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms with free-standing baths in the bedrooms, en-suite wet rooms and Smart TVs. The front bedroom includes a balcony that overlooks the lake, while the rear bedroom overlooks the beautiful countryside.

Head outside and you’ll find a delightful, enclosed terrace, with a six-person hot tub, and a dining table and chairs. This area is fully covered, so can be enjoyed whatever the weather. Enjoy some al fresco dining using the charcoal BBQ situated on the lawned area or embrace the serenity of starry nights nestled by the crackling fire pit, where tranquil surroundings and lakeside views picture pure relaxation. Create unforgettable memories in the games room, where a pool table, TV, football table, dart board and table tennis promise endless hours of laughter and friendly competition. 

Reviews

Fabulous lodge, ideally located for Elan Valley, which was why we booked it originally. Very peaceful, extremely spacious and very comfortable. None of us had any complaints. Hot tub was a hit with the teens, as was the games room. The owner was a friendly host who was very accommodating. Would highly recommend this lodge.

Miss O,

A fantastic property of high quality. It felt comfortable, like a home from home equipped with everything you could want. There was plenty of space to be as a group or to break off if needed. The games room and hot tub completed the package. Already recommended it to my friend. We will definitely return.

Mrs P,

The cottage was outstanding, exceptionally clean and well appointed, quality of the facilities were the best. The hot tub was perfect to unwind in after a day out, so relaxing. The location was perfect, so peaceful and close to the Elan Valley and Devils Bridge, a week was not long enough.

Mr L,

We had a great time at Lapwing. The hot tub was lovely, being under cover meant we could use it whatever the weather. The games room was where we spent most of our time. Great for a bit of competition with it having table football, pool, table tennis, darts and the ring hoopla game. The house was nice and warm and very well equipped and the beds were very comfy. Hope to return in the future.

Miss G,

Fabulous,spotless lodge with excellent facilities,will definitely be going back.

Mrs S,

nice location great for visiting powis castle the eden valley the red kite feeding station

Mr F,

A super place to stay, we would love to go back again, a perfect place to escape from every day life, thank you.

Miss W,

We had a fantastic time in Wales in a beautiful location visiting various parts of Powys and South Wales including the Kite feeding event in Rhayader, New Quay to see the dolphins, Devils Bridge to see the waterfall, Merthyr Tydfil to ride a steam train and Ellen Valley to see the stunning scenery which was all over wherever we travelled. The cottage had ample space and fantastic facilities and was situated in a very secluded location with wildlife all around. The games room greatly appreciated and used frequently as was the hot tub.

Mr A,

Had a fantastic time for my wife’s 40th with the family. Absolutely stunning property. Could not recommend enough.

Mr B,

Our stay was quite enjoyable. The place was very nice, clean, and well-stocked upon arrival. It was well-equipped, which we appreciated.

Mr S,

This is a beautiful Lodge. It came with the unexpected use of a games room which is great for kids in wet weather. The hot tub was a great size and very clean. Good location for travelling (driving) to other places and plenty of parking space. The whole place is spacious with very good decor and very comfortable and clean. Andrew, the host, was always quick to respond to messages and happy to help with anything. I would highly recommend and would be very happy to stay again. In fact we were very sad to leave. Thanks for a great week.

Miss S,

This was a great venue for a family get together. The visit to see Andrew's new born lambs was a delightful bonus. We have already recommended this lodge to friends! Thankyou

Mr S,

Amazing, 5 Star, cosy and high spec! Lovely location.

Previous G,

We absolutely love this cabin, amazing space with a home feeling to it. Everything was decorated to perfection and had everything we needed from the microwave to the oven. The amazing views take it to another world. I definitely will be coming back to this amazing cabin. I miss it already.

Previous g,

Great property and the bathrooms on top floor were excellent. Fabulous week with fabulous weather, was this really Wales? We loved the geese and goslings, certainly the perfect time to visit

Previous g,

Just back from a wonderful stay at Red Kite Stargazing Lodge. The lodge is stunning, with everything you could possibly need. The large decking area with hotub is a lovely place to relax and unwind with friends & family. It is so quiet and peaceful here. The small town of Rhayader is only a few minutes drive away with places to have a bite to eat. The Flag & Lamb being our favourite pub to eat in. The surrounding countryside is beautiful too, Elan valley with its reservoir & dams is a must see!

Previous g,

We have just returned from the most beautiful holiday in the gorgeous lodge and setting. It was a small slice of pure relaxation and Andrew was brilliant & responsive if we needed anything. We had brilliant weather and the surrounding area was so lovely for walking or just viewing. Definitely go back again just perfect!

Previous g,

Previous g,

Stunning Lodge in. Scenic location.

Previous g,

The lodge is the perfect place for family or friends to come together and enjoy a restful time away. Plenty to do and see and was even invited by the owners to visit their farm to see the new lambs. Every room was a luxury space and very comfortable. Plenty to do at the lodge on rainy days with the hot tub and games room. Will definitely visit again !!!
