About Buttercup

Buttercup is a luxury pod-style lodge in Powys, Wales. This top-rated accommodation sits on the outskirts of St Harmon, just 3 miles from Rhayader. The spacious, modern pod offers stunning countryside views and has earned consistent 5-star reviews from happy guests. Buttercup delivers everything you need for a proper Welsh escape without the faff.

The setting is properly peaceful. Green fields stretch out in all directions, perfect for morning walks with the dog before a day of exploring. The enclosed garden gives dogs freedom to run wild while you soak in the hot tub with a glass of something cold. And yes, the hot tub is as good as it sounds – especially after hiking the nearby Elan Valley trails.

The accommodation features two bedrooms – one king-size and one twin that can be converted to a king on request. The open-plan living area includes a fully-equipped kitchen with electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher. The shower room has a walk-in shower, basin and WC. Underfloor heating keeps everything toasty and there's WiFi and a Smart TV for when the Welsh weather does its thing.

Nearby attractions include the spectacular Elan Valley (15 minutes), Castle Hill (10 minutes) and the National Cycle Museum (20 minutes). Rhayader town is just 3.2 miles away with tea rooms, pubs and shops. The Royal Welsh Agricultural Show is a highlight if you time it right – though watching your partner try to gracefully exit the hot tub provides entertainment enough.

Buttercup is perfect for families, couples and dog owners. The secure garden is a massive bonus for pet owners and the hot tub seals the deal for everyone else. Previous guests rave about the cleanliness and quality finishes. Buttercup isn't just a holiday pod – it's where memories are made.

Buttercup Reviews

What a fabulous place to stay. Plenty of room for us and the 2 dogs cocker spaniel and GSP cross to give you an idea of size. The kitchen has everything you need and theres a fire pit with an honesty shop that sells wood and disposable BBQs if you have better weather than us! The properties are staggered in such a way you dont feel overlooked and when the bushes have matured there will be an even greater sense of privacy. The hot tub was great especially with the rain and well maintained throughout the visit. The welcome pack was much appreciated. The garden is a great size for the dogs to run around in. The fencing is small dog proof but only about 3ft high. There are places where dogs can see each other so if your dogs arent keen on other dogs you could throw a towel over the gate to block their view. The only things we missed were a broom to sweep outside the door with the dogs dragging everything in, a mat to put the dog water bowl on and a shelf in the shower, otherwise perfect. We would come back again.
This was our third visit and again we had an absolutely wonderful family holiday making lots of precious memories. The accommodation is perfect providing everything required just always sad when its time to leave thank you again
We had a lovely stay at Buttercup. It was a much needed relaxing weekend for us both and we were so pleased with the facilities. The lodge is located in a peaceful setting and we left on the Monday feeling so relaxed. The hot tub was clean and we payed extra for the luxury logs package and it was worth it to enjoy the fire in the cold nights. We couldnt fault it, we will definitely be back!
Tracey
The pod was very well maintained and great value, couldnt have asked for more. If anything they may wish to publicise the park facilities and goal posts which were an added bonus
We were so pleased with our pod. Very high end. Everything you need for kitchen. Very comfortable stay very impressed. Excellent garden all fenced off so dogs could not escape. Was a perfect holiday. Was a lovely gesture with teacoffeesugar milk Was so thoughtful. Will definitely be back. A wonderful stay.
What an amazing place! ! It is absolutely beautiful & we loved it. We are already looking to book again.
Lovely place very relaxing and all we needed 5 star
Brilliant place very quiet & relaxing hot tub was amazing very clean, bed was ... Brilliant place very quiet & relaxing hot tub was amazing very clean, bed was comfy our 2 dogs loved it just as much as me & the wife would highly recommend 5
Leanne
We stayed Monday to Friday, Tuesday and Wednesday they were digging right outside of the property. We were not told this was going to happened or anything from the owner not even to apologise for the disruption to our holiday. With the noise from this it meant we couldnt enjoy the view or garden as we have 2 small children it did ruin the holiday for us, will not be recommending
Suzanne
Immaculately clean, warm, cozy pod. Fabulous setting with secure garden for the dogs. Beautiful surroundings to enjoy the hot tub. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning in the future.
Beautiful! Id love to come again, just the experience was ruined by my friend and there husband with a car accident so cut my visit short however the lodge and the destination were the best Id recommend anyone go, I will be returning without them next time and will hopefully fully enjoy the experience but thank you so so much to the lovely staff who helped lift the car off the rocks with there tractor, absolutely amazing gentlemen so thank you so so much for your kindness and help! I dont know what we would have done without you both. Thank you all so much!
This is our second visit to Buttercup. We absolutely fell in love with the place so had to return. Buttercup is a beautiful place and has everything to offer. It is clean, spacious, comfortable and the hot tub is incredible. This is our first holiday as being dog owners and our puppy had a fabulous time with the large and enclosed garden area. As a family it is the perfect getaway to relax and take a time out. Highly recommend and hope to return soon to make more precious memories
Superb accommodation. Very nicely presented, very comfortable beds. Location is very peaceful.
Kimberley
Lovely place to stay, views are beautiful and the pod was stunning. Finished to such a high standard and very clean. Definitely would come back.
We had an absolutely amazing holiday! It was wonderful, magical, beautiful and we had a fabulous time as a family of 5. The accommodation was stunning and provided everything we required and more! It worked really well as our first holiday for the five of us and our little girl had her first birthday whilst we were there. The hot tub was fabulous and easy to use and we spent most of our time at our holiday home. It was amazing and we really could call it home sad to leave and we will cherish our precious memories made. Definitely would recommend and hope to come back soon! Thank you so much! 1010
