Spectacular Lake Vyrnwy and Eryri National Park are within driving distance for more ambitious adventures. After a day of hiking, nothing beats sinking into your private hot tub as the sun sets over the Welsh mountains. Pure bliss.

The accommodation features one king-size bedroom with blackout curtains for proper lie-ins. The open-plan living space includes a fully-equipped kitchen with electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge and even a slimline dishwasher (because who wants to wash up on holiday?). The 50" Smart TV and Starlink WiFi ensure you're not completely cut off from civilization.

Visit Welshpool (15 minutes) for shopping and history, take a nostalgic ride on the Llanfair Light Railway (10 minutes), explore Lake Vyrnwy (30 minutes) or venture to Aberdovey beach (45 minutes) for coastal views.

Cae Pren offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. The spotlessly clean lodge (mentioned in nearly every review) and Laura's attentive hosting make this an ideal couple's getaway. Book that hot tub session now!

Is Cae Pren Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Cae Pren is primarily designed as a couples' retreat, but it does offer a travel cot and highchair for families with a baby. The single bedroom layout makes it less suitable for families with older children. The working farm location might interest curious kids, but there are no specific child-focused activities on-site. Nearby attractions like the Llanfair Light Railway would appeal to children.
For Couples
Cae Pren is tailor-made for romantic breaks. The private hot tub with stunning countryside views creates perfect sunset moments. The single king-size bedroom with blackout curtains ensures lazy mornings. The isolated location offers genuine privacy while the open-plan layout keeps you connected. After hiking local trails, couples can enjoy cosy evenings with the 50" Smart TV or stargazing from the private balcony.
Pet Friendly
Cae Pren does not allow pets. The property is located on a working farm which likely contributes to this restriction. Couples looking for pet-friendly accommodation would need to look elsewhere. The surrounding countryside would otherwise be ideal for dog walking, but unfortunately your four-legged companions cannot join you at this particular lodge.

Cae Pren Reviews

Louise
Lovely little lodge! Laura the owner was so lovely and helpful with any bits of information we needed!! The hot tub was lovely too! Really easy to use. Had such a lovely weekend x
We had an amazing stay at Cae Pren! Laura was really helpful in giving any information you needed and was available via text straight away. The lodge itself was lovely, really clean and had everything you could need. One slight note is that the fridge was quite small but this is understandable due to the size of the lodge. However, note for future travellers dont bring lots of freezer items as the compartment is very small and there is no slot on the door for items like milk to stand up not a criticism just an observation. It was amazing to have a dishwasher though, and there was all the kitchen equipment you could need. The hot tub was a perfect temperature and the views over the hills were amazing. We even got some sun on the last day to sit on the balcony. The location is great we went on a few walks, beware of the hills though if youre not very able! The small town close by has a spar, a Chinese takeaway and two pubs serving food. Its also a short drive to Welshpool and Newtown which both have lots of shops. Overall, it was a fantastic stay so huge thank you to Laura and Dan.
Roshan
Very comfortable cottage. The standard of everything is excellent. We had excellent nights sleeps in super comfy beds. Will highly recommend to friends and hope to be back.
Fantastic lodge with stunning views, Me and my partner had a brilliant time at Cae Pren Lodges and would recommend to anyone. Fantastic views from the lodge and hot tub. We cant wait to stay again one day.
Excellent stay, lovely cabin and me and my girlfriend wish we could have stayed longer. I would like to thank Laura for the help and hospitality. I also want to comment on the cleanliness, I don't think I've ever stayed at a place so clean. Would love to come again in 2025.
Really beautiful property and the owners are very helpful and caring!
We had an amazing stay at Cae Pren, all of the facilities that you would need for a short break, beautiful views, lovely quiet location and very clean. I will definitely be booking again and will 100 recommend to friends. Laura was very helpful and responsive when needed. All around a brilliant, host and you have a really wonderful business. Thank you for your hospitality.
This was one of the best log cabins me and my boyfriend have stayed in! Fantastic view, so relaxing and so so clean. We absolutely loved it, just what we needed. The communication was spot on. Even letting us know to use the what3words app to locate the cabin and find it precisely. We will definitely be back, already sent the link to 3 friends to book! Thankyou again. Jade
Deborah
Beautiful, there is everything literally everything you need in the property for your stay, spotlessly clean, Beautiful views, Laura and family were there if anything was needed, went above and beyond in making sure we found where we needed to go even offering to come and meet us if we got lost, hot tub was perfect especially on an evening as the sun set. Will definitely be back.
A wonderful, cosy stay with beautiful views. Spotlessly clean inside and loved the homey touches. The hot tub was great, the perfect end to a long walking day. Already recommended it to a few friends and would love to return.
Stephen
This is a fantastic property with beautiful views. The hosts are helpful and welcoming but not intrusive. The property is well maintained and very clean throughout. A really good base to set off from and explore. The hot tub is a welcome treat to relax in at the end of the day and watch the kites circle around overhead. 100 recommend and we will definitely return
Sabrina
We visited bank holiday weekend and what can i say. The lodge itself was lovely. Very clean and the layout was lovely. Small lodge but very cosy. The views are magnificient and the hot tub was the main reason for booking and it did not dissapoint. All in all we had a great weekend. The owner is very helpful and friendly. The lodge has the necessary items needed but if you need an iron take it as one is not provided but the owner did offer to bring one if we needed it. Would definetly reccommend.
