Hillside Lodge in Newtown | Must-See Powys Hot Tub Cottage

About Hillside Lodge

Hillside Lodge is a massive 8-bedroom holiday home in Llanbadarn Fynydd, Powys. This spacious retreat offers accommodation for up to 18 guests across a three-floor main house and separate annexe. The Welsh countryside location gives you stunning views and plenty of wildlife spotting opportunities. Perfect for large family gatherings or friend reunions where you need space to spread out.

The property sits in beautiful rural Wales with amazing countryside vistas. There's loads to explore nearby including the Elan Valley, Shropshire Hills AONB and several attractions in Llandrindod Wells. The enclosed garden with hot tub is perfect for relaxing after a day out. Just what you need when your legs are tired from hiking - or your head's tired from too much family time! The hot tub fits 6 people comfortably - though we won't tell if you squeeze in more after a few drinks.

The main house features six bedrooms including two ground-floor twins (one en-suite), a ground-floor double with en-suite, a standard double, a twin and a family room with double and two singles. The annexe adds two more rooms - a double and a bunk. Multiple bathrooms and en-suites mean morning queues are minimal. The kitchen/dining area easily seats everyone together and there's a second lounge on the lower ground floor.

Visit the Robert Owen Museum (12.8 miles), explore Dolerw Park in Newtown, discover the National Cycle Museum in Llandrindod Wells (11 miles/20 mins), or head to the spectacular Elan Valley (25 miles/40 mins). Llandrindod Lake and Golf Club offer more local options for days out.

Hillside Lodge works brilliantly for multi-generational holidays with its mix of spaces. The hot tub, multiple TVs and WiFi keep everyone happy while the spacious dining area brings everyone together.

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 .

Adrian

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.

Charles

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.

Darren

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
