Field View Lodge, Builth Wells, Powys, Wales - Sleeps 2-6

Outdoor Living

The large decking area enjoys the view over the fields, up the valley, to the front of the property, often with flocks of sheep in view and is bordered by tall trees to the side. This provides a secluded, quiet outdoor living space allowing you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the beautiful nature around you.

The outdoor dining set with parasol has 4 chairs and 4 stools. The stools double up as occasional tables if required. There is a 2 seater "egg" chair, which is strategically positioned to take full advantage of the view. What is outdoor living without a BBQ? The electric BBQ provides fast, clean and eco friendly grilling with a good char. When the sunlight fades, the solar powered decking post lights illuminate, to extend your precious outdoor living time and maybe, if its a cooler evening, it's time to break out the outdoor blankets stored in the cushion store.

Wildlife is close by almost 24/7. By day there are rabbits grazing on the grass, incredible birdlife encouraged by our feeders and farm animals not far away. We are also close to where the Red Kite was reintroduced in the UK, therefore they are often seen soaring overhead. On the bird feeders you will see a multitude of British birds, and we are regularly lucky to see a pair of great spotted woodpeckers making the most of the peanuts. At night, there is also a lot going on with our nocturnal visitors. Therefore, we have a trail camera which captures short videos of them. Invariably the rabbits are out in numbers at night. However, there are a few other species that we rarely see during the day. We regularly capture videos of foxes and badgers roaming around looking for food. During your stay, you can get involved too. All you need to do is download a free phone app to see what visitors you get whilst you are here. You can even download them and take them home with you. Great fun for adults and children alike. Instructions are in the visitors guestbook.
