This couple's handcrafted wooden cabin with a hot tub and sauna is perfect for a romantic retreat in the Welsh countryside. Rolling views from every window, a cold plunge pool, a hammock and wonderfully dark skies bring a real sense of tranquillity to your stay, and when you’re not unwinding at your lodge, enjoy the 32 designated cycle trails or the incredible choice of walking routes.
With horses and sheep in the surrounding fields, this cottage’s rural charm will sweep you off your feet as soon as you enter this delightful working farm. The open-plan living space is magical, with a vaulted ceiling, quirky misshapen beams and a drinks cabinet that was formerly a grandfather clock. A warming wood burner invites you to curl up with a good book, while the rustic-style kitchen provides ample space to whip up a treat or two. The cabin is every bit as inviting outside, with a wraparound sun deck framing the panoramic views and a BBQ ready for evening meals. A private sauna, hot tub and cold plunge add a luxurious touch, while the telescope and Dark Sky Reserve set the scene for unforgettable nights beneath the stars. End the day with a soak in the freestanding copper bath, then settle beneath pure linen sheets on the hand-hewn double bed as the wildflower meadow shifts quietly beyond the window.
Despite your seemingly rural location, you are but 2.5 miles from the small market town of Knighton, where you can admire the half-timbered houses along streets lined with shops, pubs and restaurants. Ludlow's renowned foodie reputation is just 21 miles away. Pull on hiking boots and head off for a wonderful, scenic day on the Offa’s Dyke Path or Glyndwr’s Way, which meet at Knighton. If you prefer seeing the sights on two wheels, there are no less than 32 designated cycle trails to pick from.
