    “Halt lodge had everything you need so although it's compact, it doesn't feel like it. I especially loved having my morning coffee on the decking, admiring the autumn colours and listening to the trees. The bed and sofa were really comfortable,...”

A lodge for all seasons, with gas central heating In a tranquil quiet spot this self-contained Scandinavian lodge is popular with walkers, cyclists, fishermen, canoeists, and those just wishing to escape the mass media and everyday life! A chance to slow down and take in the great outdoors. Within walking distance of the River Wye, local pub, Indian restaurant & take away, fish & chips serving pizzas, and much more. There is also a general store & post office with cash point. Halt Lodge is a serene little haven to relax and unwind offering walks and cycling direct into the forest without taking the car.
We are a husband and wife team, and love meeting new people and sharing our space and knowledge of the area. We love the outdoors, walking, gardening, dining out, going to the movies, music, arts, and cars. Terry in particular likes formula one and I love home renovations and interior design We adore animals and own 1 Persian cat called Poppy and 3 Main Coons, Bella, Pebbles & Binky. Please ring the doorbell at the main house for any requirements, support, or help as needed. Maxine & Terry
