Our properties are situated within an area of Outstanding Beauty which is also a designated 'Dark Skies' area. You can visit our local country pub and restaurant - The Carpenters Arms - or visit Llandegfedd Lake Watersport and Visitors Centre which offers designated walking trails around the reservoir and numerous water sports without having to get into your car as both are within walking distance. If golf is more to your taste, we are also less than 6 minutes’ drive to Greenmeadow Golf and Country Club which has a public restaurant and bar. We are situated within the rural countryside but are only a short distance from traditional villages with quaint tea rooms and modern shopping centres with their shops, bowling alleys and cinemas. You can either relax and enjoy the lodge's Jacuzzis and saunas or if you want to do something more active you can take part in the local water sport activities on the lake or go on one of its 4 designated walks around the reservoir and into the surrounding countryside. If water sports and walks don't appeal to you then you can sit down in the Visitor's centre cafe, relax and watch the world go by while enjoying Bara Brith, Welsh cakes, scones or a full breakfast or other meals from the Visitor Centre's menu.
If you want to avoid the shops, supermarkets including Iceland, Sainsburys, Waitrose, Morrisons, Asda and Tesco offer a reliable delivery service so you can arrange to have your shopping arrive after you do. Other places to visit include Cwmbran Boating Lake, Blaenavon World Heritage Centre, Usk's rural life museum (also Roman Fort (ruins), coffee shops, range of small traditional art and craft shops) and Caerleon's Roman legionary fortress of Isca as they are only a short driving distance away. No visit to Wales is complete without a visit to Cardiff's St Fagan's National History Museum - a leading open-air museum (in the castle grounds). We are also within travelling distance of castles, beaches and other attractions.
