  • "What a wonderful lodge, a gem of a find."

    My husband and I (and our two dogs) had a very pleasant stay with fantastic views, accommodation and facilities, everything you would need and like for a relaxing break away as a couple, family or group of friends. Banty and Rachel had thought about the customer experience very well, which included a rather lovely and well thought out welcome pack, and also for the pooches. There was various books and games to play too. The accommodation was very comfortable to stay in, including the beds. We took our PS5 so we could also watch Netflix, Sky Go, listen to music, or play on the console as desired. The hot tub was very well maintained, one of the cleanest we’ve been in, and was very relaxing taking in the breathtaking views. The dogs loved being able to run around in the enclosed garden and to watch and listen to the sheep in the fields and also numerous species of birds. We enjoyed it so much so that we’ve booked to return again in a couple of months time.

    Thank you so much Lindsay for your fabulous review. We have been blown away by our guests reactions to our cabins. We work hard to try and ensure everything is perfect so reading reviews like yours puts a big smile on our faces. Banty will be particularly pleased with your hot tub comments!! See you soon Rachel x Property Owner

  • "From start to finish we cannot fault this beautiful little gem."

    Location and lodge were amazing , the hamper was very well thought out and welcomed. The lovely large sofa in front of the beautiful view was where we spent alot of time. The super kingsize bed allowed me to have the best quality sleep I've had in years and the furniture is so beautiful, honestly i could go on and on. Wifi is scatty which is only down to how beautifully remote and isolated you are. We took our own and it worked perfect Rachel and Banty were superb hosts. The hotub was simply amazing with views to fully appreciate. Dark Skies allowed endless star gazing aswell. We have found our little peice of Heaven and within 20 minutes of being here we secured a xmas booking . Thank you Rachel and Banty. See you soon xxx

    Thank you both for taking the time to write such a fabulous review. We work very hard to provide a perfect stay for our guests and reviews like yours make our work worthwhile. We have been so touched by people’s reactions to our cabins and their setting. I know there were issues with WiFi during your stay, you will be pleased to hear we had a new system installed the day after you left which is working well. Thanks again, see you at Christmas, Rachel & Banty Property Owner

  • "We absolutely loved it!"

    We have travelled worldwide and this cabin is one of the best places we have stayed. The accommodation was so tastefully decorated and extremely well equipped; the beds were so comfortable and furnishings excellent. The hosts Banty and Rachel were so helpful and kind and nothing was too much trouble. The views across the valley were to die for . A perfect secluded place for relaxation and recuperation.

  • "Wonderful Cabin in a stunning location with views to match."

    The owners were friendly, attentive and always available for anything, including when I was stuck behind some sheep on a nearby lane. Secure Garden for small or larger dogs. Tub was cleaned discretely every day and new towels were provided during our stay. The little touches of the Robes, Slippers, welcome gifts just topped off a great week away. We will be returning. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

  • "Thank you so much Rachel and Banty for a wonderful few days."

    You were fantastic hosts and had thought of everything when equipping our cabin. Everything was luxurious, immaculate and so well co ordinated. However the outstanding experience of the cabin paled into insignificance in comparison to the stunning, awe inspiring setting and panoramic views. Thank you - we will be back.

  • "Dol Blodau is a beautiful place, both the accommodation and the location."

    From the moment we arrived we were blown away by how beautiful everything was. The view was amazing and really made our trip special. The cabin had everything we needed and more for both us and our dogs. I can’t recommend this place enough. We booked it for my partners birthday and Dol Blodau has certainly given us memories we’ll never forget.

    So glad you had a fabulous time and made such happy memories here. Hopefully we will see you again soon x Property Owner

  • "We thought we were visiting to explore the local towns."

    But we rarely went further than a couple of miles on foot, coming back to soak in the view (and the hot tub) loafing on the sofa watching the clouds change the colours in the landscape and listening to birdsong and the lambs. A very well appointed cabin and everyone so friendly. We left once for a meal at the recommended 'The Triangle', fabulous. The first reveal as you open the lounge door though, unforgettable.

    Thank you Margaret, really good to hear you were both so happy here. Hopefully you will visit again for more relaxation in the future! X Property Owner

  • "Perfection!"

    - I can honestly say this is the best accommodation we have stayed in. It was immaculate. It had everything you need for your stay; cooking and cleaning up equipment, a hairdryer, robes and towels for the hot tub all provided. The finishing touches and attention to detail was exceptional, including a welcome basket of treats, and even some for the dogs. There are a selection of books and games available to play, my son particularly enjoyed the sketchbook and pencils to draw. The show stopper though, is the incredible floor to ceiling views you could watch all day from inside, outside, or the hot tub! You can explore parts of the surrounding land and head out up The Hill for even more spectacular views and if the night sky is clear you can take advantage of the darkness and gaze at the stars above. Thank you for a brilliant few days, we have already been look at dates to return to unplug from busy city life and relax in perfect surroundings.

    Thank you so much for your fabulous review Alicia, so glad you and your family relaxed and enjoyed! Your sons sketches are awesome, looking forward to welcoming you back soon x Property Owner

    We didn't take our dog but the enclosed garden would have been perfect for him, will definitely bring him when we visit again! If you're looking for peace and quiet with a relaxing hot tub then this is the place, thank you so much for having us and we will definitely visit again.

  • "What a charming cabin!"

    We needed a relaxing weekend break and we couldn't have asked for more - gorgeous views of the valleys, countryside, not to mention all the baby lambs we saw on the drive in/out! The interior of the cabin feels immensely fresh and stylish, with so much attention to detail, and a full range of cutlery and utensils which was fab! There is mobile signal and wifi which was an added bonus though still feel so disconnected from the rest of the world which is exactly what we were hoping for. The hosts were lovely to meet and very quick to answer any questions! The cabins are easy to find so long as you follow the directions correctly. So many wonderful places to explore. Our small dog and toddler were able to play at their leisure in the enclosed garden. There is a second cabin too which if travelling in bigger groups would make a great additional space, as well as an extra hot tub! The hot tub was especially relaxing and very easy to work. We will definitely be returning! You will not regret staying here, thank you so much for having us ♡

    Thank you Connie, we really appreciate your fabulous review and hope to see you again soon Property Owner

The property

Dol Blodau is new to Sykes for summer 2024 and is a delightful lodge resting in the heart of the Welsh countryside, just a short distance from Newbridge on Wye.

Home to standout views of the countryside and positioned away from the noisy roads and towns, this lovely property is the one to pick for a memorable retreat.

As you open the door to your new home away from home you will find the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area which is full of everything you could need from a well-equipped kitchen, sophisticated dining seating and a sitting area with a Smart TV so you can keep up on all your shows while you are away.

The traditional decor is a lovely sight inside this property as well as the views of the sprawling green countryside that greet you from the windows.

You also have the absolute privilege of indulging in your own private hot tub, spacious enough for all four guests at once, which allows you to soak up the joy in the bubbling tub while you enjoy those charming views.

When the sun sets, the super-king-size bedrooms will invite you to take refuge under the covers for the night before you rise the next day and prepare yourself in the shower room with a soothing rinse.

Dol Blodau lies in the heart of some of the most unspoilt scenery in Wales, you are surrounded by traditional hay meadows and areas of woodland, parkland and wet pasture leading down to the banks of the River Wye.

The Cambrian Mountains are the undiscovered heart of Wales, an area of outstanding natural beauty which offers wild empty spaces, from woodland walks to the more challenging routes that take you into the vast moorlands, one of the least visited spots in Wales you can feel that you have the place to yourself.

For star gazers you must visit the Elan Valley Estate, an International Dark Sky Park, made up of 6 Dark Sky Discovery Sites and the perfect place to see the night skies at their best.

This spot of countryside is also steeped in history which can be seen at the Nant-y-Gro Dam remains, Hafod Estate and Llanwrtyd & District Heritage & Arts Centre all of which are easily accessible by car.

Your wonderful escape is calling to you, treat yourself and those dear to you by booking your stay at Dol Blodau.

Note: This property can be booked with ref.1128628, sleeping up to 6 guests.
