Oak Lodge is a white timber three-bedroom lodge near the River Lugg in Llangunllo, Powys, mid-Wales. Part of the River Lugg Lodges collection, it sits in a rural hamlet surrounded by rolling countryside with woodland views and the sound of birdsong. The hot tub on the decking overlooks the river a genuinely special spot day or night.

This is proper countryside. Red kites overhead, riverside paths on the doorstep and Offa's Dyke just 7 miles away in Knighton. Glyndwr's Way National Trail passes through Llangunllo itself. The village even has its own railway station on the Heart of Wales line.

The lodge sleeps six across three bedrooms. The first-floor king-size bedroom has a Juliette balcony and en-suite walk-in shower. Both twin bedrooms also have en-suites. A sofa bed on the first-floor landing sleeps two extra guests bringing capacity to eight. Three bathrooms total. Open-plan kitchen-dining-sitting area seats eight with an electric fire and stunning countryside views.

Knighton is 7 miles away. Presteigne with The Judge's Lodging museum is 9 miles. Medieval Ludlow with its 13th-century castle is 25 miles away. Elan Valley's Victorian dams are roughly 40 minutes by car.

Oak Lodge works brilliantly for families or groups wanting real countryside with serious comfort. Two dogs welcome too.
