Barn accommodation in Powys

What a beautiful spot! I really needed a “break from it all” and this cottage had it all. Clean, warm, cosy in an absolutely stunning location. Surrounded by green fields and trees, animals, lakes and beautiful gardens. The hot tub was just Devine, especially at night when the fairy lights came on. I’ve never felt so toasty- the underfloor heating was so effective, especially as we had a cold weekend weatherwise. Welshpool is a lovely town to visit and the local waterfalls are stunning. We had a great walk around Lake Vrynwy and the Giants Hand is a must see. Lovely to see the farm animals, and the added bonus was a secure paddock for the dogs to run in. Thank you so much Theresa xxxx

Clare's cottage was perfect for our stay. It was very comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen. The location is just fantastic for exploring the wonderful valley with all it's natural wonder, and coming home to a warm fire was great.

A well equipped, high spec. and spacious property in an exquisite location with fantastic views and accessible walks just outside the back gate. The opportunity to wander in the beautiful gardens next door and enjoy seeing the farm animals was greatly appreciated. A welcoming host who provided a wealth of local information and suggestions.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Trish’s beautiful cottage nestled among the hills. The house itself was stunning, featuring charming wooden interiors and thoughtful design throughout. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Trish and Ian were incredibly friendly and welcoming hosts. They gave us great recommendations for scenic walks with breathtaking mountain views. They even took the time to show us their other nearby properties, which were equally impressive - especially the one with the huge, cozy fireplace and beautiful architecture. One of the highlights of our trip was spending time with the lovely farm animals especially Jerry the pony, who absolutely stole our hearts! We also met some friendly chickens and George, their lovable dog. For those who prefer not to interact with animals, there’s no pressure but our group of four loved the experience and were grateful to be allowed to meet them. Highly recommend this beautiful stay!

The property was a beautiful peaceful location. Being a converted barn everything was on one level. Very contemporary and tastefully decorated throughout. Every eventuality has been catered for whether a short or long stay. Looking forward to returning when next in the area. Totally recommended.

Judith was great, as I had not read that the oven was a small box type. I brought a massive lasagne and I think it was slightly beyond the oven’s capability. After 40 mins when it was still not cooked through, I messaged Judith and she put it in her oven. She knocked later with my steaming hot perfectly cooked lasagne and a smile on her face. She was very helpful.

Staying at Cae’r Beili in April was magical. Meryl was friendly and warm as she introduced us to the beautiful converted barn. The air was full of the sounds of sheep and their lambs with easy viewing from the lovely glass-enclosed sunroom. Looking out across the Carmarthenshire hills is a soothing experience and we enjoyed a long walk through the fields to the waterfall and back. The accommodations worked very well for our family (two children and four adults, one with limited mobility). If you want to experience the heart of rural Wales I highly recommend coming to Cae'r Beili - you may experience a little "hiraeth" after you return home.

This was our 2 nd stay at John and Sabrinas and I've already booked a 3 rd stay for a week in September. The accom is well thought out, comfortable, peaceful and has everything you need to enjoy the delights of Mach (ynyllth ) .So many thoughtful touches like herbal teas, condiments and even OS maps on the wall. Most importantly Sabrina and John are such great hosts, helpful , friendly and clearly an important part of the lovely community of Machynllyth. Lots of nice cafes in the village, an interesting gallery at MOMA and walks in abundance in this friendly Welsh town. Thank you for making our stay so memorable and look forward to coming back on September.

We had a lovely few days away in Hannah and Ian's barn. A lovely location with a stunning drive in over the mountains. Our daughter, son in law and two little grandsons came also, so it was a great spacious place for us to enjoy. There was plenty of space for us all and the boys loved their animal themed bedroom. The rooms were lovely and decorated and the beds were really comfortable. Super equipped kitchen for us all. We loved the outside space with the table tennis table. A lovely relaxing stay.

We loved our stay at this beautiful lodge! We felt completely at home and appreciated the comfortable accommodation, incredible views, tranquility and the hot tub of course! Very responsive hosts too. Our only regret is not staying longer. Thank you!

Wonderful upside down living in this amazing conversion. Everything clean and tidy. Comfy sofas and beds, huge bedrooms and amazing showers. We came for a retreat and left feeling well rested, relaxed and ready to face our busy lives again. Will highly recommend to others.

Beautifully decorated cottage which was spotlessly clean. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Very spacious cottage with all equipment we needed for cooking. Matthew was very responsive when we wanted to light the fire one evening. We absolutely loved the location, with walking, cycling and activities close by (canyoning and zip wires) The New Inn is metres away and was very welcoming with super tasty food We’ll be back! Thanks Matthew for a great stay

Really really loved our stay here! Such a beautiful place, with stunning views! Place was equipped with everything and more, we felt so cosy as soon as we arrived. Lovely picnic bench where we spent most of our time enjoying the views and the friendly cat was an added bonus. Thank you so much for a gorgeous stay and would definitely come back!

Absolutely loved staying at Gemma’s place, beautiful decor, peaceful surroundings very tranquil and felt right at home. Loved the touch with the tea, milk and biscuits a must to set you up in the mornings prior to walking. Great information sent re all the walks! We did pen y fan and the four waterfalls! Not forgetting the pubs the ancient Britain and the red lion for brilliant food! Thanks so much!! Had a blast would highly recommend xx

Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and with lovely furnishings. Plenty to do on the doorstep, fantastic location. Will definitely come again!

Lovely cottage tucked away in quiet location Friendly and helpful host

Absolutely perfect venue for a large group of people. Plenty of beds and fantastic social spaces. Loads of facilities and a lovely view. The property is very private and a short 15 walk into the village with some lovely pubs. Margaret was very proactive and made sure our stay was perfect.

We had the most peaceful stay in Alastair's cottage. It was easy to access with the lockbox and had everything we needed for our stay. The cottage was clean, had a comfortable bed and had a useful welcome guide with local recommendations. We were impressed with the scenic location and how quiet and private it felt. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cosy cottage getaway!

A big thank you to the amazing hosts at Drovers Retreat! You made our stay so enjoyable with your warm hospitality and attention to detail. The flapjacks and apple juice were absolutely delicious, and we really appreciated how quick you were to help with anything we needed. You’ve created such a lovely, welcoming spot—we’d love to come back again soon!

I would happily stay hear again. William was very welcoming and friendly. The accommodation was exactly as described. Cannot be faulted

A lovely, cosy, peaceful retreat surrounded by beautiful countryside, but only 15mins from full amenities, walks etc of Llanidloes. Well kitted-out and comfortable, with attic bedroom and log stove downstairs. Private but with owners next door if need anything. Definitely take note of the host's directions as would be easy to get lost if trying to find in the dark.

We greatly enjoyed our stay in this beautifully restored ancient stone barn high up on a hill with great views of the surrounding pastures, meadows and hills. The accommodation was spacious and tastefully furnished, with comfortable beds, a huge bathroom and a nicely functional kitchen. The back garden was an oasis of flowers, birds and bees, where you could sit and drink your tea and relax after a long day of exploring the surrounding countryside. Jean-Marie was an excellent, friendly and responsive host who always replied within minutes to our queries. We spent one day trout fishing on the nearby Wye, and another cycling the Elan valley. Rhayader, just a few minutes' drive away, had great restaurants and cafés. For a small, outdoorsy family of three in need of a relaxing break in a serene and beautiful spot, you couldn't do much better.

Perfect place for us. It was spotlessly clean and we loved the quiet location on the estate. Lots of local fun things to do for children.

One of the best places we’ve stayed. Beautiful recent conversion with high spec fittings and great interior design. Helpful host with clear Comms. Lovely countryside location. Kitchen has every Conceivable implement! Thanks so much.
