Birthdays & Celebrations
These homes were made for sharing laughter, raising a toast and making the kind of memories that last. Both venues, all yours.
Short Breaks & Holidays
Slow riverside mornings, easy walks, long breakfasts and fireside evenings. No itinerary, no agenda. Just time.
Stag & Hen Do's
Wild enough to remember, calm enough to actually enjoy. Space, riverside and no neighbours to worry about.
Corporate Stays
Away days, retreats and off-site meetings — both venues have the space, the quiet and the flexibility to make them genuinely productive.
Peaceful escapes in stunning surroundings
Wild swimming in clear rivers, wandering hill trails, mountain biking, rounders on the lawn and marshmallows over the fire pit. Or just a good book, a long lunch and nothing to do. Both venues sit in some of the most beautiful countryside in Wales — it’s impossible not to feel better for being here.
Wilde Summers
Both venues open up fully in summer — bell tents, camping, outdoor spaces and the rivers on your doorstep. The best time to bring everyone.
Wilde Winters
Cosier, quieter and just as good. The lodge and cottage are yours, the fires are lit and there's 15 acres or a riverbank to explore. No bell tents, no crowds. Just the right people in the right place.
Wilde walks and adventures
For the adventurous at heart, explore the Welsh borders with hikes across the Brecon Beacons or along Offa’s Dyke, take on mountain bike trails, or trail run the rolling hills. Slow down and amble beside the rivers Wye and Teme, visit local castles, and stop by cozy pubs and eateries. Whether you’re wild swimming, picnicking in peaceful spots, or simply relaxing on a hay bale with a good book, it’s all about fresh air, good company, and making the most of your time together.
