About Hillside Lodge

Rurally-positioned in Llanbadarn Fynydd near Newtown, Powys, find this superb eight-bedroom holiday home, Hillside Lodge. Benefitting from a main house with access to an enclosed garden with hot tub, spacious living areas for the whole family, dog-friendly accommodation and a woodburning stove, plus a single-storey annexe, offering some privacy, Hillside Lodge welcomes up to eighteen guests for an escape to Mid Wales.

Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home ready to kick back and relax in the spacious living/dining room, cosying up in front of the woodburning stove as your other half cooks up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen. Lay the table, ready to tuck into a feast as the wine is poured and conversation flows, or head out into the enclosed garden to savour an alfresco affair with the rolling Welsh countryside in the distance; treat yourself to a toasty dip in the bubbling hot tub and stargaze the evening away before retreating to the ground-floor bathroom or shower room to wash away the day.

Choose from one of six neatly-presented bedrooms to unwind in before catching your rest ahead of another day of exciting adventures. The annexe compromises of an open-plan living space, providing all the essentials for a self-catered stay, along with two well-appointed bedrooms, including a double and a bunk room.

Catch some rest before refreshing in the shower room, ahead of enjoying a coffee upon the elevated terrace. If you can tear yourself away, begin your itinerary in Newtown, home to the Robert Owen Museum, Dolerw Park and Pwll Penarth Nature Reserve, in addition to a handy array of shops and pubs so you can stock up on the self-catering essentials or treat your loved ones to a hearty lunch.

In Llandrindod Wells, visit the National Cycle Museum, delight in some light entertainment at the Pavilion Mid Wales, embark on a scenic stroll around Llandrindod Lake or test out your golf swing at Llandrindod Wells Golf Club. Take a trip to Rhayader with a good selection of tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and amenities.

Hillside Lodge Reviews

Maureen
We arrived together with a mix of ages from 8 to seventies to celebrate the New Year. The facility to celebrate was great as the dinning area and lounge area was very accommodating for us all to be together. The showers were not very good in some of the rooms, even when we weren't trying to use them at same time. Maybe some hooks or shelves in the bathroom would be a good addition as they were lacking a few basics for towels and toiletries certainly in the room near dinning room. some of the decoration needs attention and including new curtain in our room as one was hanging down and needed new hooks. Kitchen was great to cook and enough of fridge and freezer room. Hot tub was really good some written info on how to use it would be good though, unless I missed that in the book. The views are amazing with lots of wildlife to see. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and above comments made wouldn't deter us from recommending this home to others to stay.
Had a lovely stay thank you .

This is a great house for a large party. Rooms are spacious and plenty of seating in the bottom floor lounge for everyone. First floor kitchen and dining area is also large, plenty of room for dining and cooking. Bedrooms also a good size. Hot tub easily fits 6 and alot of good chairs. We enjoyed our stay very much.
The lodge was great we loved everything about it was big open airy lots of room ... The lodge was great we loved everything about it was big open airy lots of room for all of our families loved the large table so everyone can sit together for our family dinner hot tub was amazing would of liked a little outside light for the nighttime getting out of the hot tub was very dark beautiful views and will definitely book there again and we are looking forward to going back we made some fantastic memories with our families
We enjoyed our stay at hillside, in fact this property has bags of room, the beds were comfortable and in general the house was clean. We were disappointed with some of the outdoor areas and feel there is room for improvement. Some of the paving is loose or have big gaps, not ideal for children or the elderly. The patio furniture is in a shocking state, some of the chairs are broken causing one of our guests to fall to the ground when she sat on it. To look at it the chairs look OK but the really are in poor condition. All the gutters were overflowing when it rained and some of the down pipes are not even coupled together. Sad really we felt it just needs a bit of TLC on the maintenance side and new patio furniture to make the say a more enjoyable experience.

The house was warm and comfortable and all the beds were clean. There were plenty of soft towels and plenty of shower rooms. On suit bathrooms could do with hooks or rail for towels and a mirror over the sink for shaving. Plenty of cupboards in the kitchen and well equipped. Lots of space and TVs for separating in the house. Outside needed some light by the hot tub. There was not much outdoor space in the garden for children to play, and no local public footpaths for walks from the property except along the road.

Property was lovely and accommodated our large group really well. Each room was spacious and we enjoyed the multiple large spaces both downstairs and in the dining area. Bedrooms were a good size and meant we could accommodate family groups in specific rooms, the annex or top floor which was also helpful. The hot tub had been prepared on arrival too, and whilst the weather wasnt great, the hot tub was as nice to relax in. Would have been better with some external lighting, and maybe a covered area for when it was raining? The annex was also a really good space for a family with small kids to retire to, when the rest anted to stop up later Top floor rooms were a little cold compared to rest of house top floor electric heaters on timers versus central heating elsewhere. Also, the range cooker was ok and double oven really helpful, but the electric hob took a while to heat up and so cooking a stir fry or large breakfasts dinners for 1618 was a challenge. Lots of storage space for food, a good sized freezer complemented the two fridges and lots of plates and cutlery, exactly what was needed for a big family gathering, and hokey the dishwasher was also out to good use.. Outside the front access to walk the fields was overgrown, which limited our dog walking to the narrow road behind the house, which was slightly frustrating as we had two active young dogs with us.. being able to access the field in front of the house for a country walk would have been good despite the wet weather. Overall a very good stay, with a few minor improvements
