About Hen's Hideaway

Hen's Hideaway is a stunning single-storey studio cabin in mid-Wales with breathtaking countryside views from your private hot tub. This cosy retreat sits on the outskirts of Rhayader, perfect for couples wanting to escape the daily grind. The cabin offers modern comforts in a peaceful setting where red kites soar overhead.

Set in tranquil Welsh countryside, this spot gives you the best of both worlds. Watch wildlife from your decking or explore the spectacular Elan Valley just minutes away. Rhayader town is under 2 miles from your door with shops, pubs and cafes. Fancy something more active? Walking trails crisscross the landscape. Too much effort? Just pour another glass and sink back into that bubbling hot tub.

The cabin packs everything into one cleverly designed space. There's a comfy double bed, modern shower room with walk-in shower and a kitchen area with electric oven, two-ring hob and fridge. The dining table seats two and the sofa is perfectly positioned to enjoy those field views through the large windows. WiFi and Smart TV included for when Mother Nature takes a rain check.

Nearby attractions include the Elan Valley with its Victorian dams (10 minutes), the Gigrin Farm Red Kite Feeding Station (5 minutes), historic Llandrindod Wells (20 minutes) and river walks along the Wye. Aberystwyth and its beaches are just 34 miles west if you fancy some sea air.

Hen's Hideaway is perfect for couples seeking privacy with a touch of luxury. One well-behaved dog welcome too - they'll love the walks almost as much as you'll love that hot tub after. Almost.

For Families
Hen's Hideaway is primarily designed as a romantic retreat for couples. The studio-style layout with one double bed makes it less suitable for families with children.

Watch red kites soar from your decking with a glass of wine. The comfy double bed and walk-in shower add luxury touches. Peaceful seclusion with Rhayader's pubs just minutes away makes this perfect for couples wanting quality time together.
Pet Friendly
One well-behaved dog is welcome at Hen's Hideaway. The property has a small enclosed decking area, though only the wooden patio section is fully secure.

Hen's Hideaway Reviews

Lovely property in fantastic location, views were stunning and so quiet and peaceful. Hot tub was an excellent addition. Only negatives, fridge is to small, lots of flies.
Great little cottage. Would like to come back for more days Top hidden gem!
This property is a true hidden gem, and the location is so peaceful. High quality finishes, hot tub and furniture made our stay all the more relaxing. We would definitely book again!
Jessica
This is the second time we have stayed here as we loved it so much the first time! The views are beautiful from the lodges and the hot tubs are always well maintained and perfect temperature. We have a small dog who also feels very at home here. We love the walks at Elan Valley and visited Hafren Forest this time too. Thanks Aled and Lucy for another lovely stay
Graham
Absolutely lovely stay. Great views and accommodation really clean and had absolutely everything you would want. Top tips owners leave beautiful fresh eggs,milk, tea and coffee plus what my wife described as great shortbread I didn't have a look in! 1.8 miles walk into town down country lane a few cars but not many at all. Definitely recommend.
Liked it a lot , God willing will go again
Michael
We had a wonderful stay , the place was clean and tidy, the lodge was perfectly planned out for comfort and luxury. The decking and Hot tub was perfect , it was totally private too. We are definitely going back
Nicole
We absolutely loved our stay, and would definitely come back again! Thank you to the owners who put up balloons and banners for my partners birthday and made it truly special.
Samantha
Amazing setting and beautiful quality accommodation. The hosts were very kind and helpful and couldnt do enough for us. We would not have come to this if they had not got a hot tub but were so glad we did.
Jessica
The property was lovely in a great and peaceful location. We really enjoyed our stay.
Great Pods, fresh and clean inside and out with fantastic views. Hot tub excellent and maintained 3 times in our 5 night stay, so always clean. We came for a rest and relax and we got that in abundance, we visited the local town for river walks with our nervous German shepherd which he loved as did we and even went to see the Kite feeding at the local feeding station which is a spectacle to behold. We also had our own Kite entertainment while sat in the hot tub looking out over the valley. Truly calming and truly relaxing even the dog was chilled out for the most. WiFi connection fantastic so you can stay in touch or even do a bit of work if you must. All in all we would recommend this site to anyone looking for a pristine setup with a relaxing atmosphere, fantastic views and a wonderful hot tub.

We stayed here for 7 nights in September and had a wonderfully quiet and relaxing time. The cabin was ideal and we felt it included everything we needed for the week, and to my wife's delight the towels that were provided smelt great and were obviously homelaundered. We divided our time between local walks, the pubs and cafes of Rhayader, Elan Valley, sitting in the huge hot tub and sitting in the sun on the terrace watching the birds. We will probably go back next year as there is still a lot to see in the area. The owner Aled was a nice fella and would stop for a chat when servicing the hot tub. The walk into the centre of Rhayader takes about 40 minutes although we found parking was plentiful if you prefer to drive. There are a couple of small general stores, a few pubs and cafes, grocers, takeaways and a very nice butchers with great steak and lamb chops. Diolch Aled, and see you next year.
We had a fantastic stay at Hens hideawaylovely view and location, cosy and comfortable with nice little extras from the host like local eggs and sweet treats. The bed was super comfy and hot tub was spacious and well kept. The cottage is to a high spec and lovely and clean. The only issue we had was the garden was listed as enclosed which is a little misleading as it it only literally the wooden patio area which is enclosed which meant we couldnt let the dog out unattended to toilet. Other than that there is nothing else we would improve
Our stay was lovely, the lodge has everything you need and felt really homely. We will definitely be back and bring a friend also
We truly loved our stay at the Hen's Hideaway, our only regret is that we didn't stay longer! The views are absolutely beautiful and the hot tub is the most perfect way to spend each evening even if it's raining! This definitely won't be our last visit and we're already planning our next one. The lovely free range eggs and Welsh cakes were a welcome touch and the hosts were incredibly friendly we couldn't have asked for more!
Lovely property, great hot tub. If I had one comment to make I would say that the gardens are not fully enclosed. Would definitely book again.
Rebecca
Beautiful location, quiet and peaceful but only a short drive from a little village with all the amenities you could need. Cabin itself is very well finished and the hot tub was our favourite part. We saw red kites every day as they nest in the trees at the bottom of the field, often swooping overhead quite low giving us a really good view. Would return tomorrow!
Hens Hideaway is a fabulously compact gem. It has everything you need and the addition of the hot tub on the edge of the decking is wonderful. Sitting on the decking or in the hot tub watching the red kites across the meadow was beautiful and so so peaceful. The hosts are lovely and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.
Graeme
5 star accommodation, we had a lovely stay at Hen's hideaway, the attention to detail inside was spot on,comfy bed,great shower and amazing view from the large hot tub,where we watched red kites and swallows. Owners are lovely too as were the extras left for us on our arrival. Will definitely come back again.
Rebecca
