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.
Sat nav: SY8 1AY
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.
Sat nav: HR6 9PW
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.

Great week away ????????
Great experience, would come back
Had a relaxed weekend, was peaceful with stunning views, spacious and clean, host was really friendly, will definitely be booking again
Pretty good overall
Everything was perfect
Been twice so far and were definitely planning to return again soon!
We have been there twice now and would definitely be going again
We stayed in this lovely quiet spot and loved the peaceful surroundings. The lodge itself has potential but definitely needs some updates - especially the beds, which were pretty uncomfortable and felt like theyd seen better days. We couldnt help but notice the curtains hanging off the rail and it seemed like there werent enough hooks to fix them properly. The kitchen wasnt very clean either, with the oven and utensils needing a good scrub. On the plus side, there were all the usual white goods like a washer, dryer, fridge and freezer and the heating worked well. It felt a bit like stepping back in time, so some modernising wouldnt go amiss!
Beautiful area, cottage in a quiet place. Furniture and fittings , especially the beds need replacing, the worst we have slept on in years. You could feel the springs as we got into bed . The curtains hanging down off the rail, I wanted to put them back on the hooks and tidy it up for them, but not enough hooks. The oven and utensils were unclean. However; there were plenty of white goods, washer dryer fridge and freezer. Heating that worked. The lodge felt like we had travelled back in time and needed updating to how cottages are nowadays.
We really enjoyed our stay. The secure garden was great for the kids and honestly, that hot tub was the highlight - best weve ever used! Being on a farm meant no traffic noise, which was pure bliss. Beds were super comfy and the lodge's facilities were spot on. The decors a bit tired now, but still totally functional.
Great stay, definitely preferred this lodge over the other!
We had an absolutely lovely stay at this lodge! The hot tub was a real treat and its kept sparkling clean daily by the friendly owners who live nearby. The place itself is spotless, with all the facilities we needed-washer, tumble dryer, cooker, fridge, small freezer and dishwasher-all working perfectly. The beds are super comfy and the walk-in shower plus bath made it feel luxurious. Plus, the big enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs to run around freely. We definitely plan on coming back soon!
We had a lovely weekend at the Primrose Lodge! The hot tub was a real treat and the garden was perfect for our pup to run around. The owners were super friendly and helpful. Not much nearby, but it's easy to drive to shops in about 15 mins.
Really enjoyed our stay! The house was lovely, super clean and felt very cosy. The hot tub was a highlight!
Really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and the location was perfect for a relaxing getaway. Beds could be softer though.
We had a fantastic stay at Primrose Lodge! The place was spotless and set in such peaceful surroundings. The hot tub was a real highlight. Thanks for a lovely holiday!
We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was roomy and super comfy, perfect for relaxing. The enclosed garden with the hot tub was a hit and the kitchen had everything we needed. Its peaceful out there, yet close enough to explore attractions and go for walks. Great family spot!
We loved the peaceful vibe here, perfect for relaxing away from the hustle. The countryside's lovely to walk through and the dark skies are stunning at night!
Great experience, definitely returning next year.
Really enjoyed our stay, the staff were lovely and the place was spotless. Definitely booking again soon!
The lodge was really charming and the owner was super friendly. The oven wasnt cleaned properly and a few little things couldve been better, but overall, wed come back for sure!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The peaceful surroundings and lush greenery made it a perfect escape from our busy routines. No noisy traffic, just calm and scenic views. We also discovered some lovely local eateries and friendly pubs. Everyone was welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend it!
We had such a lovely stay! The lodge was cosy and the garden perfect for Tilly, our dog. Storm Alex and COVID couldnt ruin our honeymoon - the hot tub was absolutely fantastic, probably the best Ive ever used. The locations so peaceful and private; we actually didnt miss WiFi at all. Were already planning to come back for a week next time!
We loved the peaceful setting, perfect for unwinding. The lodge was cosy and our dog enjoyed the secure garden. Hot tub was fab! Thoroughly checked daily.
We managed to snag Primrose Lodge just a day before our trip after a sudden cancellation and honestly, it was a stroke of luck! From the moment we arrived, we knew it was exactly what we needed - a big garden for our little Italian greyhound, a massive hot tub and all the cosy comforts you could want. The photos online dont quite capture how lovely it really is. No internet or signal was no trouble for us; it was a perfect break from the chaos, especially before I start my new job as a mental health nurse next week. We spent our evenings soaking in the hot tub, gazing at the stars with all the lights off, which was so tranquil. The only sounds were the distant silence and the other lodge, which we couldnt hear at all. During the days, we headed to Elan Valley, just half an hour away and the views and walks were absolutely stunning. Were already planning to come back!
Lovely day out with the family and dog.
We loved the peaceful setting, the lodge was charming and our dog adored the enclosed garden. The hot tub was fantastic, always well-maintained. Great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge comfortably fit four adults and two dogs and having an enclosed garden was a real bonus. Spending my birthday relaxing in the hot tub was just perfect. Wed definitely come back - it was a lovely break!
Totally recommend it
We loved how peaceful and private it was, just what we needed. The owners were super friendly and always around if we needed anything. The place was spotless and cosy. No WiFi, but EE worked perfectly for us. We'll be back for sure!
No staff were present or needed. Beautiful secluded spot and the best hot tub we have used.
The lodge was beautiful, the views are stunning. If you are looking for a break away with nothing at all to do apart from walk and relax this is the break for you! Because you are quite literally in the middle of nowhere ?
Fantastic lodge, excellent hot tub & the enclosed garden was absolutely brilliant for our 2 dogs to play.
Very quiet peaceful area, nice to relax. Nearest shopping was about 8 miles away (Tesco Llandrindod Wells) but we ordered online and arranged delivery to the lodge for our first day arrival which was perfect.
A bit further away (approx 40mins) is Newtown, more variety for shopping and a lovely park where dogs could run off lead and play in the river.
Highly recommend.
We had a amazing holiday! Went went during the hottest days of the year, heartsease lodges were a god send! because we took our kids and dog some afternoons we had to stay in the lodge thankfully the garden area was brilliant for them all, enough room to kick a ball, play stuck in the mud or tag, the hot tub was amazing. I would recommend these lodges to everyone they are perfect.
Really nice lodge to come to for a relaxing break, all facilities were clean/ in working order.
Staff were nice/ helpful, would recommend staying here if you want a lovely relaxing break
All the little touches made the difference. Will defo return again. Peace and solitude... heaven
What a wonderful place to holiday, The hosts made us feel very welcome along with our fur baby Daisy, who had a lovely enclosed garden to wander in .The hot tub was a pure luxury and enjoyed very much. If you want total peace and quiet ,this is the place to come to . Out in the middle of no where ,lovely walks from the front door ,and scenery that’s beautiful. Thank you for such a special place to recharge our batteries. 100% recommendations.
Photos don't do it justice. Lovely ranch style lodge. Well equipped. Very quiet and peaceful. Enclosed garden was a big plus. Would have given 10 but there's only one bathroom in the lodge. Needed an ensuite at least.
Lovely area all countryside within easy reach of amenities.
Lovely clean lodge. Perfect for dogs they loved it as it was all closed in fantastic for them and they had the freedom to run around. Hot tub was great. If its a break you need away from things then this is the place to go.
Exactly what we wanted, a short break away in a rural location with great facilities. Clean, comfortable and with everything we needed (including Tesco delivering our shopping). Hot tub was a great size and easily fitted 4 adults, it was checked daily for the chemical levels and these adjusted with no impact to guests. Will definitely return!
Fabulous 4 nights enjoyed by all. Great secure garden for the dog. Hot tub was amazing. Picturesque location. Only a few miles from the supermarkets and Llandrindod Wells lake and cafe which served great food. Would definitely recommend.
Spacious, homely, peaceful location. A lovely getaway for families or couples. Pet friendly and great personal touches from the farm.
Had an amazing time. Lodge was absolutely beautiful
