The Experience

Walkers, cyclists and nature lovers will be happy: space for muddy boots, an outdoor hosepipe for the dog, homemade Welsh cakes and an honesty fridge with all your favourite tipples. Breakfast is brought to your room: Greek yogurt pots with homemade granola, fruit compote from the garden in season, home-baked bread, smoked salmon bagel or a bacon sandwich, croissants with homemade jam – lots of veggie options too.

You eat at a table in the window looking at the views or a bank of flowers opposite with the sound of the stream. Each south-facing room has its own bathroom with underfloor heating, Myddfai soaps and fluffy towels. Wind down with a glass of wine at sunset on your own little terrace or wander the paths through the stream-fed garden to a little lake and a nature reserve with bird hide.

Set off to explore through fields of sheep and an ancient chapel; tackle Pen-y-Fan, bring bikes – this is God’s own country.

Reviews

Walkers, nature lovers and cyclists will be outdoors all day. But it's rather a good place to stay in and be lazy too.
Inspected Nicola Sawday's Inspector

Joyce, Nottingham

A superb place to stay. Spotless room, comfy bed, great shower and the table and chairs looking out onto the garden made it a very relaxing and enjoyable. So quiet at night too. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and served to our room. Clare and John were lovely hosts and really helpful. Their attention to detail meant that everything was just right. We really appreciated them sharing their lovely garden with such amazing views. It was a fabulous place to stay with our dog and we look forward to visiting again.


Martin, Usk

What a fantastic place this is. Great for a relaxing break. As others have said, the hosts are charming and very helpful. Our dog loved the open spaces and the large pond. The location is good as a base for walks as well. Cwmbach lodge is definitely worth a visit.


Rachel, Hong Kong

An outstanding place to stay. Wonderful hosts, glorious room with spectacular views, and the most divine breakfast delivered to my room. Couldn't have asked for more! We will go back.


Karen, London

Cwmbach Lodge is an outstanding and truly luxurious B&B, made even more special by its amazing hosts. We loved absolutely everything about our two-night stay - a very warm welcome, an exquisite room and breakfast served in the room. We hope we can return soon for a longer stay as Cwmbach Lodge is so brilliantly situated for both serious hiking and visiting Hay. Bravo Clare and John!


Location

The neighbourhood

Glasbury-on-Wye is the nearest proper village – there's a canoe centre there and you can swim in the river. Hay-on-Wye is just over four miles for books, art and Chapters restaurant. You can join Offa's Dyke here or set off on the Wye Valley Walk from the house. Bring bikes and John will 'truck' you to the top of the mountains so you can charge down them without being out of puff. You're on Sustrans Route 8.

Local points of interest from Clare Booth

  • Hay on Wye - market town famous for its book shops, out door market, galleries, quirky independent shops , restaurants and cafes and of course its annual Literary Festival is only a short drive away
  • Glasbury 0n Wye - our nearest restaurant Foyles and the Harp Inn are less than a mile down the road. A place also to enjoy the river . It has become known as a canoeing centre and a great place for wild swimming.
  • Walking Galore - the Black Mountains, The Brecon Beacons, The Wye Valley Walk and Offas Dyke Walk - don't forget your walking gear! We have a drying room should you need it.
  • Cwm Bach Lodge has a magical garden bordered by streams and views to die for. We have recently renovated the swimming pond. We love our guests to explore , relax and soak in this little piece of heaven - may be even take a dip!
  • Castles - It's Wales. Also a short scenic drive from the beautiful Llanthony Abbey.
  • The Welsh Coast, Cardiff, Swansea and Hereford are a day trip away. Cwm Bach Lodge is a great place to base yourself and explore this stunning part of the world.

Introducing

Clare Booth

Clare was a practice nurse and is Welsh born and bred. John, a retired chartered accountant, is from Huddersfield. They are both gardening mad and they'd always dreamed of running a B&B. Well-travelled (they lived in New Zealand for two years), thoughtful and fun, they enjoy making guests happy and nothing is too much trouble. You'll also meet Winnie the whippet, their sweet lockdown puppy.
