Cae Dafadd is a handcrafted single-storey lodge sitting on a working farm in New Wells, Powys. This Welsh countryside retreat offers spectacular panoramic views from every window. The timber structure blends perfectly with its hillside position, giving you privacy while still being just a short drive from local amenities.

The surrounding Welsh countryside is a playground for walkers. Rolling hills stretch as far as the eye can see. Fancy a pint? The nearest pub is just 1. 1 miles away - close enough for a pleasant stroll but far enough to maintain the peaceful atmosphere.

 

About Cae Dafadd

Cae Dafadd is a handcrafted single-storey lodge sitting on a working farm in New Wells, Powys. This Welsh countryside retreat offers spectacular panoramic views from every window. The timber structure blends perfectly with its hillside position, giving you privacy while still being just a short drive from local amenities.

The surrounding Welsh countryside is a playground for walkers. Rolling hills stretch as far as the eye can see. Fancy a pint? The nearest pub is just 1.1 miles away - close enough for a pleasant stroll but far enough to maintain the peaceful atmosphere. The property sits high enough to catch stunning sunsets that you can watch while sipping wine on your private balcony.

Inside, you'll find one king-size bedroom with blackout curtains (perfect for those holiday lie-ins), an open-plan living area with a 50" Smart TV and a fully equipped kitchen with everything from a dishwasher to wine glasses. The bathroom features a bath with shower over - ideal for soaking tired muscles after countryside rambles.

Visit Elan Valley (30 minutes) with its Victorian dams and reservoirs, explore the market town of Rhayader (15 minutes), discover the Red Kite Feeding Centre (20 minutes), or venture to Powis Castle (35 minutes) with its medieval fortress and spectacular gardens.

Cae Dafadd offers complete tranquility with luxury touches throughout. The hot tub is meticulously maintained and perfect for stargazing - nothing between you and the Milky Way except steam and bubbles. Who needs clothes when you're this secluded?

Cae Dafadd Reviews

Kerriann
Brilliant lodge, beautiful views from all angles. Very clean and cozy with everything you need, towels, robes, toilet roll, a few spare cleaning items and toiletries in case needed. We took everything we needed but didn't need to. Quiet and secluded, just what we wanted, peaceful few days away to recharge, relax in the hot tub and unwind. Owners helpful and on hand if needed. Would definitely recommend and hopefully will return too.
Zuzanna
Absolutely gorgeous cabin and loverly location, the hosts were very friendly and helpful. The cabin was clean and the hot tub was the best.
Caroline Frances
We had a great stay at this property. It was as described and very cosy with great views to wake up to. The hot tub was lovely and very well maintained some shelter around and above would have made it more user friendly especially as it is on top of a hill! Our only real niggle was the amount of blue bottles flies that we had to hooversweep up every day. We appreciate we were on a farm but we have never encountered that many before. Fly spray was provided but due to asthma, we were unable to use unfortunately. We did mention this to the owner at the time. However, we still had a lovely stay in a lovely, well designed lodge.
Lovely lodge with spectacular views. Will be back
