If you want a break from the noise and bustle of town/city life this is the perfect place. Great facilities for the children to play safely. Lovely to be able to enjoy the use of both a jacuzzi and sauna. We loved the fire and it quickly warms up the whole lodge.

We had a fantastic weekend stay in blackthorn lodge and couldn’t have asked for more. The hot tub, sauna and play area were highlights and made the whole experience incredibly relaxing and fun for the little one.The bungalow was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with every essential we needed and a great informative information book with literally everything you would need to know local spots to visit and which supermarkets deliver to the bungalow which made the stay completely stress-free. The hosts julia was extremely helpful with all the pre arrival information and her husband joe was very helpful and attentive when showing us how to use the logfire, hotub and sauna and happy to assist with anything we needed. It was clear a lot of care had gone into making guests feel welcome. We would absolutely recommend this place and would love to return in the future.

Lovely few days at Blackthorn Lodge!

We had an amazing stay at Blackthorn Lodge. Joe and Julia were fantastic hosts. Joe was there to welcome us on arrival and explain how everything worked. Blackthorn Lodge had everything we needed. The Hot tub and Sauna were a welcome treat after a day on the lake and hiking in the Brecons. Couldn't get the kids out of the Hot tub! :) Thanks Joe & Julia for a great couple of days away. Just what we needed.

Comfortable peaceful cottage, great hot tub & sauna

The 3 of us (2 adults, 1 child) had a great week at this nicely rural property. Hot tub and sauna were well looked after and a treat to have exclusive use. The cottage shares the site with another holiday cottage, with a large shared grassed area to the front - good for football! 10 min walk to the local pub for dinner and the reservoir for watersports. No shops within walking distance but plenty in the nearby towns. Overall a great base from which to explore the local area. Recommended.

Hi glad that you enjoyed your stay. You are correct in saying that there are no shops within walking distance in the rural village of Coed y Paen but the ‘Cwmbran Shopping’ retail area is less than a 7 to 10 minute drive away. Also the local supermarkets including Asda, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Iceland and Tesco all deliver to Blackthorn Meadow so guests often arrange a delivery on their arrival day. . The other holiday let is Hawthorn Lodge which we also own. Guests often book both lodges so that friends or family can go on holiday together but both have some time alone.

New Year Break Away

The house was clean and presentable, and easily accessible. Plenty of kitchen utensils/cups and plates etc. Main bedroom bed was very comfy, the childrens single beds were a little hard and our daughter struggled. Children loved the hot tub, downside being you have to walk around the front to the back and especially when it's cold was off putting but others may not be bothered by this - it was just hard with a toddler. Main sticking point was the wood burner fire/heating - it was either freezing cold in the mornings and you had to wake up throughout the night to restart the fire or it was so hot we had to have the doors open in a wind/rain storm. Toddler loved feeding the geese and chickens.

Thanks for your review however, all of our mattresses are 'Doze Luca' mattresses' from 'Dreams'. Had you let us know that you weren't happy, we could have given you a travel cot instead. Travel cot mattresses are firmer but your 2 yr. old may have felt more secure in one and settled better. Our Jacuzzi Spa Hot Tub and Red Cedar sauna are located in our private lockable garden area which is to the side and the rear of the bungalow. Hot tubs are not recommended for children under the age of 6 as they cannot control their body temp and as they can prove a health and safety issue when accessed by children without adult supervision most holiday let insurance companies - including ours - insist that they are securely fenced in to prevent unauthorised use and can only be accessed via a lockable gate. We always ask our guests whether they have experience of using log and/or multi-fuel stoves and we were given the impression that you had. Despite this we still provided step-by-step visual instructions on how to use the multi-fuel wood burner which runs the central heating and we were always on hand to answer any queries when we replenished your logs, anthracite etc. daily or via the Vrbo message service. The dial labelled 0 to 5 on the side of the fire controls the level of heat produced once the fire has established. Had the anthracite been stoked up inside the fire and the dial set to 3 at night the cast iron fire would have continued to give off a steady heat during the night.

fabulous christmas break away

Had a lovely christmas break in this accommodation. We needed for nothing. The hot tub and log burner were fab. The steam room was fab until we encountered some wasps and then my husband wouldnt go back in. The owners were lovely and left refreshments and plenty of wood and coal etc. Would love to stay in summer to enjoy the play area. The Christmas decorations were lovely.

Hi Wendy so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Blackthorn Lodge. With regards to the wasps - as our saunas are red cedar barrel saunas which are outside in the private garden area and our lodges are in a rural area - we did mention to you prior to your arrival that you should check before entering whether the intense heat of the sauna had woken up any hibernating wasps. I am a little confused though as your husband told us that - after using the sauna 3 times a day every day - he had dispatched a few very drowsy wasps but continued to use the sauna 3 times a day right up until the night before your departure. Most of our guests only use the saunas once a day so the additional hours of intense heat must have made the poor things think that summer had returned early. 😂 Thanks for the lovely review though.

Low key New Year

We had a lovely low key New Year (two couples). The cottage is clean and well equipped. It's heated by a stovax multi fuel burner but the shower is electric. I'm a cold person so I worried that I would get chilly at night but the place retains the heat really well, the hosts are also generous with the wood & coal and brought us more when we ran low (lots of places we have been are a bit stingy!). The hot tub and sauna were a lovely addition and treated every day. Kitchen equipment was well stocked and plastic glasses provided for the hot tub. I am disabled ( standard size manual wheelchair user) and was able to navigate the cottage and the bathroom is actually a wet room. Note there is a small strip of beach type shingle separating the hard pathway that leads round the back to the hot tub so I needed help navigating this. Julia was really communicative both before and during our visit, but not intrusive. The area is really nice with walks around. We went to eat and sample some craft beers at the Tiny Rebel Brewery on the outskirts of Newport and would recommend it! Overally we had a lovely stay and would definitely come again. Thanks!

Hi Ann, thank you for your lovely review of our property. I just want to clarify one thing, I’m the host for both Blackthorn and Hawthorn Lodge - it’s my business. My lovely husband Joe restocks the fuel for multi fuel fires and occasionally checks the Jacuzzi chemicals (under my supervision) when I’m busy doing other tasks like cleaning, laundry, taxes and other administrative tasks. or - given that both our lodges have been in great demand ever since we came out of lockdown - I need a bit of a break. .Hope you have a great Christmas, we look forward to seeing you again in January 2022

Om værten

Vært: Julia

Værtens profilbillede
We've been hosts since 2010 and the best part about it is getting to meet so many lovely people from all over the world and sharing our two lodges at Blackthorn Meadow with them. We are happily on hand if help or advice is needed and always do our best to ensure that everything is there for our guests' stay. We built both bungalows as stables and a barn back in the 1990s when we had Section D Welsh Cobs and converted them when the buildings became redundant so they are not and never have been residential properties. My husband Joe enjoys fishing, playing the guitar but I love films, gardening, taking care of our chickens, geese and our wild mallard duck visitors.

What do we enjoy most of all? Seeing our returning guests as you know that you must be doing something right when your guests come back year after year.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

Blackthorn Lodge is in a 'dark skies' area. It is a 2-3 minute drive - less than 10 minute downhill walk - to Llandegfedd Lake (Reservoir) with its Visitor and Water Sports Centre. The reservoir forms a 434 acre lake which has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its wildlife. The purpose built Llandegfedd Lake Water Sports Centre specialises in tuition and equipment hire. You may also bring your own kit and pay to launch your craft. They offer one of the best sailing experiences South Wales has to offer and is a fully accessible activity. Other water activities include windsurfing, dinghy sailing, stand up paddle boarding and pedal boarding, canoeing and kayaking. They have brand new kit for hire including the first fleet of Stand-Up Pedal Boards in Wales. They offer fishing and open water swimming. Llandegfedd Lake’s open water swimming sessions are regulated under the close supervision of their fully-trained team. Pre-booked organised sessions are tailored to clubs, groups and individuals who want to have a go at this hugely popular activity. Llandegfedd Lake also has 4 designated walks that can take you around the reservoir and into the surrounding countryside. Hawthorn Lodge is also close to three local golf courses.

Usk town offers a range of small traditional rural tea shops and restaurants while Cwmbran - less than 4 miles away - offers a Bowl Plex, Vue Cinema, Community Farm, Boating Lake and a host of cafes, restaurants and large retailers.

Local attractions include Blaenavon World Heritage Site, Big Pit, Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre, Llandegfedd Lake (Reservoir), Usk Picnic Area etc. The property is less than 6 miles from the M4 motorway which provides easy access to local castles and numerous other attractions including St Fagan's and Cwmcarn Scenic Drive

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

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.
