Where luxury greets nature
Our trio of luxury lodges offer the ultimate in contemporary living. We’ve poured a lot of love into these lodges, aspiring to create spaces we would want to experience on our own holidays.
Each lodge has two bedrooms and sleeps 4/5 people + infant. Four legged friends are also welcome.
Indoor Spaces
In each lodge you’ll find a light-filled, open-plan living space with beautifully kitted-out kitchen, generous dining space for comfortable conversation-filled suppers, and super squishy sofas with glass-fronted log burner – perfect for cosy evenings enjoying our carefully curated book and games collection.
Upstairs are two serene bedrooms with luxurious linen and those all-important blackout blinds help ensure a peaceful slumber.
The master bedroom enjoys a sumptuous super king bed, while the second bedroom can be made up as either a super king or twins. A folding bed with mattress for a fifth person can be provided (£10 per night supplement, includes mattress, bedding and towels).
The family bathroom includes a ginormous stand-alone bath, separate waterfall shower, and wall-to-ceiling mirror to maximise the sense of space and light.

Outdoor spaces
Huge sliding doors and windows invite nature in, yet we are equally passionate about encouraging our guests to head outdoors, without compromising on the all-important comfort. We’ve chosen designer Scandinavian furniture for our terraces, alongside a luxury hot-tub and fire-pit with BBQ grill for toasting marshmallows or cooking up a feast with our quality cast iron cookware.
From each of our spaces – whether indoor or out – you can truly live in the landscape, absorbing the views across our meadow to the hills beyond. Ultimately, our hope is that our guests feel the whole lot of love we have poured into our lodges, and that adults and children alike return home inspired, rejuvenated, and wishing to come again.

A touch of magic for the kids...
Our vision was to create aesthetically pleasing spaces, enabling design-led parents to enjoy beautiful family holidays together, without compromising on style.
Peek under the stairs and you will find the secret den with nature books, binoculars and wooden toys to inspire creative play. Outside, discover the hand-crafted wooden swings dotted through our woodland, and make memories fairy-seeking in the meadow.
Yet with family life, we know practicality is paramount too. Each lodge is kitted out with stair gates, high chairs, kids crockery, and BabyBjorn travel cots. With blackout blinds in all bedrooms, we hope to enable a restful slumber for all.
Dog Friendly
As dog owners ourselves, we understand that your dog is a member of the family, and VIPs (Very Important Pooches!) are welcomed at Cynefin Retreats with as much warmth as their owners.
You and your canine companion will have a tail-wagging time exploring the local area and the wealth of walking opportunities nearby. Our woodland adjoins a public footpath leading directly onto the Wye Valley Walk– a fabulous path that leads directly into Hay-on-Wye and beyond. The Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons are nearby which are fantastic for scenic dog walks.
We welcome up to two well-behaved dogs per lodge. The cost per stay is £30 for one dog, £45 for two dogs.

We welcome guests staying 2+ nights. We usually cannot offer one night stays, but can on occasion if there is a gap between reservations that we can fill. Please contact us if you would like to know if any options are available.
During Hay Festival, we have a minimum stay of 5 nights. If you would like to stay for less than five nights, please contact us and we can see what may be possible.
Occupancy
The prices for our luxe lodges are based on an occupancy of 4 people (+ an infant). However, each lodge is incredibly spacious and can comfortably accommodate one further guest for a small surcharge of £10 per night, which includes provision of a folding metal bed frame with foam mattress, bedding and towels. Our folding bed works well for children. We are happy to welcome adults to use the folding bed, though please be aware it does not offer the space and comfort of a standard single.
