What a fantastic place to stay. Lovely location, with a excellent local pub/restaurant. A short walk to the reservoir which has a good cafe and equipment hire.
The accommodation is extremely well equipped. We were greeted on our arrival and the log burner was already lit for us.
The Jacuzzi was excellent and secluded.
We are hoping to return again this year.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming little house, complete with a relaxing Jacuzzi and sauna. Right outside is a large communal play area, offering a fantastic variety of sports equipment and toys for all ages.Inside, the house was spotless and thoughtfully laid out. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the lounge was cosy and comfortable — perfect for relaxing after a day out.The bedrooms were clean and inviting, ensuring a great night’s sleep. The bathroom was spacious, with a powerful shower that was a real treat.The location was excellent — just a few minutes from the nearest town, and within walking distance of the lake and watersports centre.

comfortable property and lovely location
We really loved the property and location. The jacuzzi was a lovely treat and the bungalow was comfortable and clean. Outdoors there is a well equipped children's play area. The log burner / stove was easy to operate and made the place very cosy. As this operated the central heating it did tend to be cold when we got up in the morning and it took a while to get the fire going and the radiators to warm up. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to be back.

So glad that you enjoyed your stay at Hawthorn Lodge. Hard to believe that last April we were in the middle of a heat wave and this year it was one of the coldest ever. Rural temperatures do tend to be lower than those within towns and cities however it is possible to bank the fire up with anthracite before you go to sleep and turn the dial down to 2.5 so that it continues to heat the bungalow well into the night. As the bungalow is well insulated it does tend to hold the heat. Had we known that you were feeling the cold we could have told you how to do it and we could have given you our electric convector heater to use until the central heating kicks in. It heats the room very quickly and is available on request. When you come back remind me and I'll make sure that it's there for you to use. Hope to see you all again soon.

A little gem in South Wales
We really enjoyed staying here. the hose was clean, comfortable and well equipped; outside the animals were a diversion for our son, and the hot-tub a real bonus in a house this size.
The property is conveniently located for the major sites, with glorious countryside and venues within 30 minutes drive. The village pub is also excellent.
The owners drop by the care for their livestock and (usefully) keep an eye on the hot-tub, so are readily on hand to answer any questions. All in all, highly recommended!

We had one of the best weeks, it was literally home from home, everything you could think of was there, even an air fryer which I loved there was a linen line usually places have a washing machine but no line !!. The hot tub and sauna was used every day. We loved the geese, chickens and ducks and Julia and John were lovely people they always made sure everything was ok. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great for a relaxing break
We had a really enjoyable stay at Hawthorn Lodge. The hot tub and sauna are fantastic additions. The location is walking distance to a local pub - booking advised - and a reservoir with full range of water sports. We booked some kayaking which the kids loved. Good lunches and breakfast also available. The property’s kitchen is well stocked with fridge freezer and washing machine and the property is heated via a cosy log burner. The owners were fantastic before arrival, helped with check in showing us where everything was and were available throughout for any questions - and additional logs! Thanks Julia and Joe for a lovely stay. Highly recommended.

And Eunice came too….
We spent a wonderful 3 nights in Hawthorne Lodge just as Storm Eunice was on her way! We are a family of 4 and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The TVs in the bedroom and living room allow you to login to Netflix etc which was great for a pre-bedtime family film, plenty of games in the drawer too if that’s more your thing! My husband had no issue at all with the log burner and we followed the instructions and even though it was cold while we were there we stayed warm and toasty inside even through the night in to the morning and there was plenty of hot water for washing up etc. we would definitely stay again when visiting our family in South Wales, Thank you Julia & Joe

Fantastic place
When we arrived Julia and Joe were there ready to meet, greet, and fill us with information - I think we’d of really struggled without them telling us beforehand.. so that was good!
The fire place is pretty cool!! It’s old fashioned but very cool, when you have the fire on it powers the central heating and heats the rest of the house.. I loved building a fire every morning!
The kitchen is surprisingly very well equipped.. sometimes when you go self catering you never know what to expect.. but it was brilliant!
The Hot tub was LUSH!! It’s maintained daily by Julia and Joe, which is a relief because I’d have no idea how to maintain a hottub 🙈😂
It was great for looking up at the stars! Because you’re far enough away from light pollution, we saw a few shooting stars etc..
The bathroom is great, and the shower is a wet room style.. my only gripe would be the water pressure wasn’t great.. but it’s enough to get by with.. it’s was SUPER clean when we arrived..
Overall this place is phenomenal value for money! And we’d Love to stay again!! Maybe in the summer though 😅

Hi Nathan, glad that you enjoyed your stay. The multifuel stove/fire has what is considered a contemporary design and our system which includes the Charnwood Cove 2 multifuel fire is less than 6 years old. The water pressure on the shower is not as powerful as a power shower. It's electric so has to heat up the water just before it is released as the water is not stored in a hot water tank. It wastes less water it is considered to be more environmentally friendly which is more than can be said of our beautiful Jacuzzi Spa Hot tub which on arrival holds 1100 gallons of fresh warm/hot water for our new guests to use. We hope to see you and your friends again however one word of advice. You will need to book as early as you can; we are already receiving advance bookings for up until mid-October 2022. Julia

Fantastic
We had a fabulous week stay as a family of 4, 2 daughters 3 and 5.
Firstly the check-in and finding the property was a breeze. Julia and Joe were very kind and helpful. The cottage was very well stocked and things we bought were already there- coffeee plunger, dishwashing tablets, games for the kids etc. The hot tub was fantastic and enjoyed by all and the barbecue was a welcome addition.
The location was great and we went a few times to the beach and out of all the beaches we tried Barry island was the best. There is is also Ragland a petting zoo and soft play area, which the kids absolutely enjoyed. The large yard and play area were and absolute hit.
This was a brilliant stay and as there is another cottage it makes a great place for two families.

Property was spotlessly clean and very well stocked with cleaning products, kitchen equipment and many extras which was a lovely touch.

Qui vous reçoit ?
Vous êtes reçu par Julia
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.
Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?
Hawthorn 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
Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?
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.
