Dramatic riverside Welsh border ruins with a tall Norman keep, free to explore and welcoming to dogs.
Clun Castle is a ruined Welsh border castle on a rocky mound beside the River Clun, on the edge of the small, picturesque town of Clun. Founded shortly after the Norman Conquest, it still has its tall 13th century keep, which unusually sits on the side of the mound, along with extensive earthworks to wander around.
Tip: Wear sturdy footwear as the grounds have steep slopes and uneven ground; there is a free car park next to the castle, with toilets, reached by a footbridge with steps.

A ruined Norman castle above the River Teme with views over the Shropshire countryside.
Ludlow Castle is a partly ruined medieval fortress in the Shropshire market town of Ludlow, standing on a high promontory above the River Teme. Probably founded around 1075, it was one of the first stone castles built in England and later became the seat of the Council of Wales and the Marches.
Tip: There is no parking at the castle itself, so plan to park in the town and walk in.
Sat nav: SY7 9AH
A moated medieval manor house in Shropshire that has changed very little since the 13th century.
Stokesay is a moated, walled manor house near Craven Arms. Though it looks like a castle, it was really a lightly defended mansion, with work completed by 1291. The stone hall and solar block sit behind two stone towers, and the hall keeps its 13th-century wooden-beamed ceiling. The timber and plaster gatehouse at the entrance dates from the 17th century.
Tip: Book advance tickets online through English Heritage, and finish with a break in the tearoom, which is open to all and welcomes dogs.

A castellated Herefordshire manor house with walled gardens and 1,500 acres of parkland to explore.
Croft Castle is a castellated 17th-century manor house that has been the home of the Croft family for many centuries. Inside, you can look round the castle rooms, while outside there are colourful herbaceous borders, a secret garden and a walled garden with a small working vineyard, historic apple trees and a glasshouse.
Tip: Dogs on leads are welcome in the garden and parkland but not in the house. Satnav users should enter HR6 0BL, as the National Trust recommends.
Sat nav: HR3 5DG
A restored Norman castle and Jacobean mansion in Hay-on-Wye, with a rooftop view over the town and River Wye.
Hay Castle is a medieval fortification with a 17th-century mansion alongside, right in the centre of the book town of Hay-on-Wye. Founded by the Normans and rebuilt in stone around 1200, it has been attacked and burnt several times over the centuries.
Tip: Use the large public car park off Oxford Road, which has free electric vehicle charging points. Dogs must stay on a lead, and are welcome on the ground floor, in the café and in the grounds.
Drive times are typical times by car with no traffic. Check opening times and book tickets on each attraction's own website before you go.

Set in a beautiful area, perfect for exploring. We were really lucky with the weather, not a drop of rain, so made the most of all the walks in this stunning area.
Excellent location and good value for money!
Nice spacious lodge with large hot tub. Very rural with lovely views over the hills. Welcoming host. Great area to visit with lots to see and do, including the beautiful Elan valley.
We loved the lodges spaciousness and the big hot tub was a real bonus. The rural setting with stunning hill views was perfect. The host was super friendly and friendly. Loads to explore nearby, especially Elan Valley!
We had a fantastic time here! The setting is stunning and really peaceful. The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed. The hot tub was definitely the highlight-it made our weekend so special. Well absolutely be coming back soon!
We loved this place. Its a great location with beautiful surroundings. The lodge was very clean and well equipped. The hot tub was brilliant! Really made the weekend. I wouldnt hesitate to stay here again and am already planning a return visit.
Very handy and well thought out
Everything you needed was there
A good location with much rest and relaxation. Kitchen and utilities were very dirty, the kettle needed to be descaled, cups hadn't been washed, pots had food on. Nothing looked non felt clean. Pillows were very flat and had no plow protectors on, no mattress protectors. A very convoluted heating system. A slightly cold hot tub. A great product due to location and how much effort was put in designing the lodge, Sadly if these standards are not met it could be very risky.
Really enjoyed the stay
We had a lovely stay at the lodge! It was spotless and the beds were super comfy, making for a great night's sleep. The place had most things we needed, but do remember you're about seven miles from the nearest shop, so it's best to bring some essentials with you. Bedding and towels are provided, but you'll want to bring your own toiletries and food to avoid last-minute shopping. Overall, a nice spot!
We recently stayed at this lovely lodge and really appreciated the warm welcome from the owners, who were super friendly and helpful. The location is stunning and the place itself is really spacious, which we loved. The hot tub was a real highlight-owner even adjusted the temperature for us, which was a nice touch! A few small things could be improved, like adding hooks outside for towels and providing more cutlery. Also, wed suggest new pillows with protectors, mattress toppers and towels specifically for hot tub use. We couldnt find a hairdryer or a first aid kit either, which was a bit surprising. The main bedroom only has patio doors, so we kept it closed at night, making the room quite warm. Still, the air conditioning in the living area worked brilliantly. Overall, a great stay!
We had a lovely stay! The lodge and hot tub were fantastic, though the bathrooms could use a bit of a sprucing up. Wed come back!
We loved the peaceful setting and stunning views. The fenced garden was perfect for our dogs and the private hot tub was a real treat!
Excellent location! Very peaceful & beautiful landscape. Large fenced off garden, great for the dogs. Clean private outdoor hot tub, definitely worth a visit!
Really enjoyed our stay, would recommend it.
We had a fantastic stay! The lodges location was lovely and the hot tub was just what we needed after a long day. The owners were super helpful, always ready with more logs for the fire. Definitely plan to come back - highly recommended for a relaxing break!
We loved the peaceful setting and breathtaking views. The hot tub was a real treat after exploring. Facilities were spot on, definitely recommend!
We really enjoyed our stay here, though the shower was a bit underwhelming. The highlight was definitely relaxing in the hot tub, gazing up at the stunning night sky! Lovely experience overall.
We had an absolutely cracking time! The location was spot on, with stunning views that really made the trip special. The hosts, Andrew and Ellyn, were lovely and made us feel right at home. The hot tub was a definite highlight - always warm and spotless. The lodge was super spacious, perfect for relaxing. And those fresh pulled suedes? Delicious! Thanks a bunch!
Had a lovely stay! The scenery was stunning and the family running the place were so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for a chill break!
We had such a lovely time during our second stay here and weve already booked for next year! The cabin offers plenty of space, which is perfect for us and the outdoor area with the hot tub is definitely a highlight. Being a bit away from the other lodges really gives you that peaceful vibe, especially since our kids are quite loud. The WiFi and air conditioning are real bonus features-they make relaxing so much easier. The owner was friendly and we appreciated how discreet he was during his early morning hot tub checks. Also, they were really understanding when our son managed to get nosebleed on the sheets. The only thing Id suggest is trimming the hedge a bit to get a better view from the deck. Otherwise, its a fantastic spot!
We had an amazing time! The kids loved having plenty of space to run around and the hot tub was a massive hit with everyone-couldn't tear them away! The hosts were super helpful and quick to respond whenever we needed anything. The lodge was well-equipped, with WiFi and Netflix, which was perfect for relaxing evenings. We also enjoyed exploring the nearby lake; the walks were truly stunning. Overall, it was a fantastic break and were already thinking about coming back. Such a lovely holiday! Thanks so much!
Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely book both lodges again.
The flies were a real pain, but honestly, everything else about the place was spot on! Quite impressed.
The lodge was cosy and welcoming, honestly we felt right at home instantly. The hot tub was a real treat, especially with that stunning view. Hospitality was spot on, they couldnt have been more friendly or helpful. Would definitely recommend it for a relaxing getaway, we loved every minute!
The lodge is really charming and the owner couldnt be more friendly.
Great trip, stunning scenery, definitely planning to return!
Really enjoyed our visit, just wish the weather had been better.
Very friendly service, made us feel very welcome.
Very nice and relaxing a few more brochures at lodge of places to visit would be helpful.
Lovely lodge, in the middle of nowhere, difficult to find first time, better signage would help
Our family of 5 adults and 2 dogs had a lovely week at Sais Lodge. Owner was very welcoming and helpful. Beautiful location and spacious accomodation. Would definately visit again.
Lovely Lodge, maybe needs a little TLC in places. The owners have thought of everything to make your holiday stress free. So peaceful and relaxing.
Had a great stay at castle pren lodges, much bigger than I thought it would be! Location is beautiful and it’s so quiet. Would definitely recommend. Host was very helpful too!
The photos dose not do the lodge any justice, when we arrived we was very surprised how spacious it was. The kitchen was fully equipped, and very Clean.
The hot tub was amazing!! And the weather was ok. Looking forward to coming back.
Only issue if I was being picky is the shower, you couldn’t get it at a good temp.
But very good value for money
So relaxing . Would highly recommend here.
Went for my birthday and had a great time
Castle Pren Lodges absolutely blew us away upon arrival. The location is fantastic, so much wildlife and great views in every direction. We came to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life and Castle Pren definitely delivered!
We stayed here as a family and have to say it was perfect. Andrew was a great guy and even let the kids feed the lambs which was a nice touch.
The lodge itself was lovely throughout and the hottub was great.
Would definitely recommend and will be returning in the future.
Truly a beautiful place; the lodge was beautifully clean, spacious and tidy. We had everything we needed. The location is phenomenal and watching the sun set each evening is a real treat. We were lucky to see the lambs at this time of year too.
This family run, amazing getaway is a real gem for families and we had a great few days unwinding and having fun visiting local nearby attractions.
Hot tub, beautiful views, log burner…spot on! We’ll be back for sure - thanks for a lovely stay at your wonderful place.
This was such a beautiful lodge, with beautiful surroundings. The staff and everyone in the local area, were just so helpful. The lodge had lots of little touches, that were just so sweet and really added to the whole experience.
We are already looking at booking again.. as we can’t wait to return.
If you are seeking to escape from everything, this is the place to be.
The lodge is well equipped and a lovely size for a family.
We enjoyed a peaceful and restful weekend here, enjoying some of the local walks with our dogs.
Beautiful lodge and beautiful surroundings, the photographs don't do it justice, everything in the lodge you could possibly want
Awesome place with amazing scenery. Just a shame with the weather we couldn’t go anywhere but the rain didn’t stop me having fun and the hot tub kept me going all weekend. Would definitely recommend. If I was gonna criticise anything it would be that you have to drive 20 minutes to the local town if you need anything but that’s only if your picky which I didn’t mind as you get to see what else is around scenery wise. As previously stated would definitely recommend and I will be back soon. Job well done
This lodge is situated 8 miles from the local town, and is I a scenic calm place. If u like this sort of a thing its beautiful. We didn't have any issues . The kids loved it. And had a great time. The only thing I will say is the shower wasn't at all powerful and water was trickly.
