These beautifully designed, stylish lodges are set on the edge of Caersws village in the heart of the Welsh countryside, five miles from Newtown and halfway between Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury. With outdoor activities, fascinating attractions and simply stunning views, Powys is a wonderful county to explore.

Slate House Lodges are next to a working farm and close to Caersws, a small village with a choice of pubs, a café and some local shops. The glorious Welsh coast is just a 45 minute drive away and you'll find beautiful walks, clay pigeon shooting, fishing and golf courses close by. Pamper packs are available so treat yourself and be greeted with bubbly, flowers and chocolates on arrival.

We love Valley View Lodge, a two storey luxury lodge with panoramic views across the Welsh countryside. It has two bedrooms, a spacious lounge / kitchen / dining area with a paved patio and outdoor hot tub. The king sized double bedroom has an en-suite shower - and with a reading room on the second floor, there's plenty of space for four people.

A trip to the pretty town of Llanidloes makes for a lovely day out - surrounded by mountain scenery, it's popular with wildlife enthusiasts, walkers and horse riders, plus there are plenty of pubs to choose from.
