  • "Couldn't fault the pod."

    It was cosy and had every and more that we needed. Whilst we enjoyed our time there,and the walks are beautiful, it is however a little too rural for us. And to cap it the local pub had closed for the week.

  • "It was our first time staying in a holiday pod and from start to finish it was amazing!"

    We stayed for a week in the Fern pod. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with fresh milk, flowers & eggs, prosecco and even some treats for our chihuahua who we brought along for the holiday which he obviously loved. The pod itself was really cosy and super clean! It was great having all mod cons such as a microwave and hob, fridge freezer, which helped the self catering aspect of the holiday. We ordered a Tesco delivery to arrive at the pod and it came promptly and with no issue. The views from the pod were incredible and the peacefulness of the surrounding countryside was breathtaking - with the exception of course of the sounds of wildlife. The dark nights with no light pollution allowed us to also do a bitof stargazing with our telescope that we brought with us which was a real treat! The hot tub was huge and again was super clean and easy to use. The complimentary dressing gowns were great for getting out of the hot tub and chilling on the decking in. It made it feel as though you were in your own private spa. The fire pit and barbecue were also great additions with a private space at the side of the pod to enjoy these. We had toasted marshmallows on the fire pit and a good few barbeques throughout our stay. The welcome pack that was in the pod had loads of useful info in it (much more than you get in most other places) and some great local walks which we did. We took one walk down the Radnorshire arms which is a lovely country pub with excellent home cooked food. Definitely recommend a visit! Another positive about the pod is that you are left to your own devices with no interuption from the owners - unless of course you wanted their advice / help on anything. We happened to meet Lin and also Llew on one of our walks and they were really welcoming and friendly offering advice for things to do and where to eat / walk. In summary this place was a real diamond find and we absolutely loved our stay. We were really lucky with the hot sunny weather but regardless of weather the place itself is beautiful. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you Lin and family for making our holiday special!

About the location

FELINDRE

Beguildy 2 miles; Knucklas 7.3 miles; Knighton 10 miles; Newtown 11 miles.

The small village of Felindre is set in a rural location amidst peaceful countryside between the market towns of Newtown and Knighton on the Wales/England border. With a local pub serving drinks, the village is in a fantastic location for walkers with an abundance of walks and cycle routes over 6000-acres of Crown estate nature reserve providing fantastic views and where red kite can often be spotted and grouse are being re-introduced. Passing the doorstep is the beautiful Glyndwr’s Way; a 135 mile National Trail which travels through open countryside, farmland, along rivers and lakes and through forests tracking the history of Owain Glyndwr visiting many of the sites connected with his ill-fated campaign for an independent Welsh Nation in the early 15th century. The nearby village of Beguildy offers a pub serving good food, a village shop and a Post Office. Some of the best examples of the 8th century frontier earthwork built by King Offa can be seen close by with easy access to the Offa's Dyke; now a National Trail that roughy follows the current border between England and Wales and offering fabulous opportunities for spectacular walking. Further afield, the village of Knucklas boasts an ancient 13th century castle mound and an imposing viaduct built in 1865, complete with an impressive 13-arch span. Set on the Heart of Wales railway line between Shropshire and Swansea, why not leave your car behind and venture further into Wales by train, enjoying beautiful rural scenery along the way? A short drive away is the market town of Knighton, which is a celebrated location for walking, horse riding and cycling with Offa's Dyke passing through the town. Knighton also offers a farmers' market once a month selling local Shropshire and Welsh produce. Visit magnificent Powis Castle with its celebrated gardens, the spectacular Water-Break-Its-Neck waterfall, the Elan Valley dams and the lovely towns of Bishop’s Castle, Leominster and medieval Ludlow, with its famous 13th century castle, ancient buildings and wonderful restaurants. Also visit Llandindrod Wells and Builth Wells, which boasts the Royal Welsh Showground which hosts a variety of events throughout the year. A wonderfully peaceful location for exploring beautiful Mid Wales and Shropshire.
