About Dol Blodau

Dol Blodau is new to Sykes for summer 2024 and is a delightful lodge resting in the heart of the Welsh countryside, just a short distance from Newbridge on Wye. Home to standout views of the countryside and positioned away from the noisy roads and towns, this lovely property is the one to pick for a memorable retreat.

As you open the door to your new home away from home you will find the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area which is full of everything you could need from a well-equipped kitchen, sophisticated dining seating and a sitting area with a Smart TV so you can keep up on all your shows while you are away. The traditional decor is a lovely sight inside this property as well as the views of the sprawling green countryside that greet you from the windows.

You also have the absolute privilege of indulging in your own private hot tub, spacious enough for all four guests at once, which allows you to soak up the joy in the bubbling tub while you enjoy those charming views. When the sun sets, the super-king-size bedrooms will invite you to take refuge under the covers for the night before you rise the next day and prepare yourself in the shower room with a soothing rinse.

Dol Blodau lies in the heart of some of the most unspoilt scenery in Wales, you are surrounded by traditional hay meadows and areas of woodland, parkland and wet pasture leading down to the banks of the River Wye. The Cambrian Mountains are the undiscovered heart of Wales, an area of outstanding natural beauty which offers wild empty spaces, from woodland walks to the more challenging routes that take you into the vast moorlands, one of the least visited spots in Wales you can feel that you have the place to yourself.

Dol Blodau Reviews

This is our new favourite place to stay! Peaceful, cosy and very clean and the owners are very accommodating, Will go the extra mile for you to ensure your stay is amazing! Thank you for having us and letting us stay in the beautiful cabin! You guys are amazing and we will 100 be returning in the future!
What an amazing stay! The hosts have thought of absolutely everything to make your stay perfect. The accommodation has such amazing views to wake up to, we just wish we could have stayed longer. A secure garden, perfect for our dog meant we could relax even more. We couldnt recommend the Dol Blodau enough!! Thank you for everything.
Rachel & Banty made us welcome from the start the flowers, hamper of delights and brownies were so thoughtful as was the milk in the fridge. The lodge itself is beautiful and so homely, they have thought of everything from a few treats and poo bags and towel for the dog, to providing washing capsules and fabric conditioner, towels and extra rugs,books and brochures. My husband doesn't read books but couldn't put down the one about the local area and a man living off grid. As for the setting, absolutely beautiful and so peaceful just what we needed. Honestly book this lodge, if you want a peaceful break in gorgeous surroundings with lovely hosts you won't regret a minute of it. Thank you Rachel & Banty it was a pleasure meeting you both xx Barry, Sharon & Oaty xx

This is probably the best holiday we have had in this country. The responsiveness of the host, the facilities in the property, the location and the dog friendliness all contributed to making it a fantastic experience. The holiday was a surprise birthday present and Rachel and Bantys assistance and attention to detail helped to make it a very special occasion.
We had a lovely few days, the dogs absolutely loved the enclosed space to run around and watch the sheep. The cabin was perfect, it had everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable, the views were amazing. Even with all the rain we still had a very relaxing time, the dogs got a bit muddy due to the rain, but there was a hose to clean them up before allowing them back in which was very handy. The hamper and dog treats were a lovely extra too! The hosts were both lovely! Highly recommended, we would love to come back again when the weather is a bit better so we could enjoy the outside some more!
Kimberley
The whole place was beautifully thought out. We had everything we needed and total privacy to just relax. Thanks for being amazing and arranging a a treat in advance, thats so special for us. The place itself and the view! We are just so lucky that the Ewbant Farm can be shared with the likes of us city dwellers dying for some peace and fresh air. Dont hesitate, book now its beautiful and comfortable with rolling hills as far as the eye can see.
Beautiful Property in a stunning location. The hosts have thought of everything and were very welcoming. We enjoyed our peaceful relaxing break very much and will definitely return. The enclosed garden for the dogs was perfect too and the view was amazing.
We had the most wonderful few days here. Every year we go to a similar style property and this has been the best by far. Not only is the location perfect and the scenery beautiful, the owners have thought of every little thing to make your stay as special as possible. There were treats left out for us I wont give away what because it was a lovely surprise. The quality of the beds and bedding were just wonderful nothing worse than a lovely place that you cant get a good sleep in!. We Will definitely be returning. Cant thank you enough. The Bradshaws x
What an absolutely stunning place to visit! Weve had the best week and will definitely be back in the future! Rachel, Banty and family were amazing hosts and thought of everything. We had a lovely welcome hamper, hot tub towels, robes the list goes on. Its so relaxing and peaceful and the views are amazing. There are some lovely walks right on the doorstep, and lovely places to visit a short drive away such as Elan Valley. Be sure to follow the route down to the river! Its beautiful Thanks for a great week!

What a wonderful lodge, a gem of a find. My husband and I and our two dogs had a very pleasant stay with fantastic views, accommodation and facilities, everything you would need and like for a relaxing break away as a couple, family or group of friends. Banty and Rachel had thought about the customer experience very well, which included a rather lovely and well thought out welcome pack, and also for the pooches. There was various books and games to play too. The accommodation was very comfortable to stay in, including the beds. We took our PS5 so we could also watch Netflix, Sky Go, listen to music, or play on the console as desired. The hot tub was very well maintained, one of the cleanest weve been in, and was very relaxing taking in the breathtaking views. The dogs loved being able to run around in the enclosed garden and to watch and listen to the sheep in the fields and also numerous species of birds. We enjoyed it so much so that weve booked to return again in a couple of months time.
From start to finish we cannot fault this beautiful little gem. Location and lodge were amazing , the hamper was very well thought out and welcomed. The lovely large sofa in front of the beautiful view was where we spent alot of time. The super kingsize bed allowed me to have the best quality sleep I've had in years and the furniture is so beautiful, honestly i could go on and on. Wifi is scatty which is only down to how beautifully remote and isolated you are. We took our own and it worked perfect Rachel and Banty were superb hosts. The hotub was simply amazing with views to fully appreciate. Dark Skies allowed endless star gazing aswell. We have found our little peice of Heaven and within 20 minutes of being here we secured a xmas booking . Thank you Rachel and Banty. See you soon xxx
We absolutely loved it! We have travelled worldwide and this cabin is one of the best places we have stayed. The accommodation was so tastefully decorated and extremely well equipped the beds were so comfortable and furnishings excellent. The hosts Banty and Rachel were so helpful and kind and nothing was too much trouble. The views across the valley were to die for . A perfect secluded place for relaxation and recuperation.
Wonderful Cabin in a stunning location with views to match. The owners were friendly, attentive and always available for anything, including when I was stuck behind some sheep on a nearby lane. Secure Garden for small or larger dogs. Tub was cleaned discretely every day and new towels were provided during our stay. The little touches of the Robes, Slippers, welcome gifts just topped off a great week away. We will be returning. Thank you for allowing us to stay.
Thank you so much Rachel and Banty for a wonderful few days. You were fantastic hosts and had thought of everything when equipping our cabin. Everything was luxurious, immaculate and so well co ordinated. However the outstanding experience of the cabin paled into insignificance in comparison to the stunning, awe inspiring setting and panoramic views. Thank you we will be back.
Shirley
Excellent cabin, beautifully fitted out with everything you could wish for. A lovely basket of treats fruit and fresh flowers. Perfect.
Dol Blodau is a beautiful place, both the accommodation and the location. From the moment we arrived we were blown away by how beautiful everything was. The view was amazing and really made our trip special. The cabin had everything we needed and more for both us and our dogs. I cant recommend this place enough. We booked it for my partners birthday and Dol Blodau has certainly given us memories well never forget.
We thought we were visiting to explore the local towns. But we rarely went further than a couple of miles on foot, coming back to soak in the view and the hot tub loafing on the sofa watching the clouds change the colours in the landscape and listening to birdsong and the lambs. A very well appointed cabin and everyone so friendly. We left once for a meal at the recommended 'The Triangle', fabulous. The first reveal as you open the lounge door though, unforgettable.
Alicia Michaela
Perfection! I can honestly say this is the best accommodation we have stayed in. It was immaculate. It had everything you need for your stay cooking and cleaning up equipment, a hairdryer, robes and towels for the hot tub all provided. The finishing touches and attention to detail was exceptional, including a welcome basket of treats, and even some for the dogs. There are a selection of books and games available to play, my son particularly enjoyed the sketchbook and pencils to draw. The show stopper though, is the incredible floor to ceiling views you could watch all day from inside, outside, or the hot tub! You can explore parts of the surrounding land and head out up The Hill for even more spectacular views and if the night sky is clear you can take advantage of the darkness and gaze at the stars above. Thank you for a brilliant few days, we have already been look at dates to return to unplug from busy city life and relax in perfect surroundings.
Jennie
We had a perfect stay at Dol Blodau, the accommodation was spotless and the attention to detail was exceptional. We didn't take our dog but the enclosed garden would have been perfect for him, will definitely bring him when we visit again! If you're looking for peace and quiet with a relaxing hot tub then this is the place, thank you so much for having us and we will definitely visit again.
Sachla
The Cabin The Dream Absolutely in love with the cabin and view in every corner in it, best purchase we have ever made, it's worth every penny. The cabin was clean and well equipped. The kitchen had everything needed to make amazing meals. The welcome gifts for us and a dog and fresh flowers was so appreciated Oh, and the bedroom with spectacular view
Connie
What a charming cabin! We needed a relaxing weekend break and we couldn't have asked for more gorgeous views of the valleys, countryside, not to mention all the baby lambs we saw on the drive inout! The interior of the cabin feels immensely fresh and stylish, with so much attention to detail, and a full range of cutlery and utensils which was fab! There is mobile signal and wifi which was an added bonus though still feel so disconnected from the rest of the world which is exactly what we were hoping for. The hosts were lovely to meet and very quick to answer any questions! The cabins are easy to find so long as you follow the directions correctly. So many wonderful places to explore. Our small dog and toddler were able to play at their leisure in the enclosed garden. There is a second cabin too which if travelling in bigger groups would make a great additional space, as well as an extra hot tub! The hot tub was especially relaxing and very easy to work. We will definitely be returning! You will not regret staying here, thank you so much for having us
