The Cwtch Cilgee in Upper Cilgee, Doldowlod , Llandrindod Wells, LD1 6HD

About The Cwtch Cilgee

The Cwtch Cilgee is a contemporary lodge sitting pretty in Mid Wales, just 3 miles northwest of Llandrindod Wells. This modern retreat offers uninterrupted views across the rolling hills of Elan Valley that'll make your jaw drop faster than your pants after too many Welsh cakes. It's a working farm location, so expect to wake up to sheep, cows and maybe even witness the miracle of birth if you're lucky (one guest actually saw a calf being born right outside).

The surrounding countryside is perfect for walkers and cyclists. Red kites soar overhead – majestic birds of prey that'll have you reaching for your camera every five minutes. The fully enclosed garden means your dogs can run free without you having heart failure every time they disappear from view. Nearby Builth Wells (9 miles) and Newbridge on Wye (3.5 miles) provide essential amenities when you need them.

This two-bedroom lodge sleeps four comfortably, with a sofa bed for two extra guests if requested. The kitchen comes fully loaded with electric oven, gas hob, fridge, coffee machine, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Smart TV with free sat keeps you entertained and the private hot tub under cover means you can soak regardless of Welsh weather.

Fancy a day out? Visit Gigrin Farm Red Kite Feeding Station (15 miles, 25 minutes) to see hundreds of these magnificent birds. Explore the dams and reservoirs of Elan Valley (12 miles, 20 minutes). Wander through the Victorian spa town of Llandrindod Wells (6 miles, 15 minutes) or try your hand at fishing at Llyngwyn Lake (8 miles, 18 minutes).

The Cwtch Cilgee is perfect for families, couples or anyone wanting to escape the rat race. Past guests rave about the welcome pack with fresh bread, eggs and local produce. Your only problem will be leaving.

Excellent place to stay, stunning views, perfect for dogs to happily and safely run about the cabin grounds (all enclosed). So many great walks and things to see in this area/ within an hour drive so a perfect base

Dee

Approach to and position of lodge lovely. Garden secure for dogs and quite spacious. White goods and cooker excellent. However a little bit more thought to prevent minor difficulties would have made a difference. Red kite feeding station is well worth a visit.

Rachel

We have just returned from a two week stay and I have to say that this is the best accommodation we have stayed in. The cabin was so clean and beautifully laid out, offering a modern and comfortable feel. The views from the cabin are absolutely breathtaking and the activity on the farm is an added bonus. The hot tub was freshly prepared for our arr ival and was a lovely touch after days out exploring. Tony and Sarah are both lovely hosts and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.

Andrew

Views and farm activity were amazing. Certainly if you wanted to get away from it all for a while Then try this. A most relaxing and enjoyable break.

Lisa

Fantastic 3 nights spent in this wonderful lodge. Fresh bread, eggs, butter, orange juice and milk left for us on arrival. It was like home from home, so comfortable with everything you could possibly need. Scenery and animals absolutely beautiful. It was so lovely, that we have just booked again in a few weeks time. Would definitely recommend this lodge!!!

David

Such a perfect location for a peaceful few days. Ewes and lambs in the field, red kites and a lovely view. Nice to have the hot tub covered so we could sit and enjoy the location whatever the weather. The owners were very friendly and helpful, not that we needed anything and finding bread, milk, eggs and orange juice on our arrival was a nice touch . The accommodation is spacious, it was clean and tidy and the kitchen is well enough equipped to cook a proper meal if you don't eat out.

Wendy

We have just returned from our second stay in 4 months, so as you can guess we love it here the cabin is lovely and comfortable with everything you need, the hot tub is fab after a day out exploring.

We have just arrived back from our 2 night stay at the Cilgee Cabin and the only thing we regret is not staying longer! The views from the cabins are just phenomenal and the cabins are immaculate and equipped with all you need for your stay. I cant wait to revisit in the future.

Jon

Just had a 2 night stay here and completely blown away with how good it was. The cabin is spotless, exquisitely clean with everything you need. And the views are just breathtaking. Pictures DO NOT do it justice. I couldn't take my eyes off the view all weekend. The owners are lovely people who clearly care very much about providing a 10/10 stay. Ab solutely in love with the place. We feel like a pair of idiots only booking 2 nights, kicking ourselves for not staying longer. Thanks so much.
