Ploony Barn in Knighton | Must-See Powys Hot Tub Cottage

About Ploony Barn

Ploony Barn is a stunning converted barn tucked away in the Welsh countryside. This peaceful retreat sits in its own private grounds, with fields, trees and a gentle stream running alongside. The secluded location offers complete privacy while still being less than a mile from local amenities. Who needs noisy neighbours when you've got sheep and cattle for company?

The surrounding landscape is truly breathtaking. Miles of unspoiled countryside stretch as far as the eye can see, perfect for walking and exploring. The property is accessed via a mile-long private track (go slow unless you fancy testing your car's suspension). This rural setting creates a genuine escape from everyday life - just what the doctor ordered after dealing with your boss all month.

Inside, the accommodation features an open-plan living area with kitchen, dining space and sitting area warmed by a woodburning stove. Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms - a family room with king-size and single bed, plus a separate king-size room. There are two bathrooms: a ground-floor shower room and a first-floor bathroom with freestanding bath. The utility area includes a washing machine and drying room.

Nearby attractions include walking trails right from your doorstep, with local shops just 0.7 miles away. The enclosed garden is completely secure for pets, making it perfect for four-legged explorers. After a day of adventures, sink into the private hot tub and watch the stars appear over the Welsh hills.

Ploony Barn is ideal for families, couples seeking romance, or friends wanting quality time together. With its hot tub, woodburning stove and 5-star rating, this accommodation definitely has the wow factor.

Could not have wished for a better place to stay Lindsey was brilliant any ... Could not have wished for a better place to stay Lindsey was brilliant any question we had she answered straight away was brilliant thanks very much

Plooney Barn was everything it said it was. It was lovely and clean and had all the amenities needed. We watched the Perseid meteor shower in the garden with no light pollution and it was amazing. The hot tub was just what was needed after a long day walking. Beautiful part of Wales and would definitely book again.

Lovely location. Barn conversion very well done.

Sylvia

This is a beautiful cottage in a stunning location. The hot tub was lovely , the wasps were a problem but they seem to be everywhere this year. It was a beautiful short stay .

Gillian

Love this property hot tub just lovely peaceful area

Elsbeth

Having worked in architecture in Switzerland, this barn conversion has been extremely successful. Congratulations to Darren and Lyndsey. The location is fairly remote, never seen so many sheep and lambs in my life. The hot tub was ideal for chilling out and observing the red kites. Footpaths on your doorstep or a short drive to Ellan Valley. We hope to return. Swiss Miss

Carolyn

Ploony Barn is a wonderful place to stay. It's very quiet and has a lovely garden for dog to play in that is totally secure Everything is included for your stay including a tumble dryer which was excellent for us as we had a little bit of bad weather during our stay We were lucky enough to meet Lyndsey at a local pub so it was great to put a face to a name. It is very clear that Lyndsey is passionate about providing excellent quality accommodation for her guests. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at the barn again, especially as we have friends in the area

Lovely property in idyllic location. Comfortable beds and everything you need in the kitchen. Good outdoor space for our dog.

Absolutely perfect weekend break far from the madding crowd. Perfect location, perfect cottage, perfect hosts. We will be back.

Lovely property in a lovely location. The only thing I would note is it is about a 12 mile drive down a track and can be bumpy but if you go slow as recommended you will be fine . It would not put us off staying again. It was love to see cows and sheep right opposite the accommodation. Just be careful if you go for a walk especially with dogs as there was few bulls and a lot of cows.

Arianne

Thank you so much, we had a fabulous week and thoroughly enjoyed staying at the barn. Perfect for our family and dog

Absolutely amazing stay would definitely go back

Sophie

We had an amazing time at Ploony Barn. .. it was a beautiful home, extremely clean and comfortable, in beautiful surroundings! I personally loved that dogs weren't allowed upstairs or on the furniture so was like a real home from home for me!!!! Lindsey was super helpful and nothing was too much bother.... loved the welcoming touches too! Thank you

Michelle

Owing to the fact that we live in Wales this was our first break away for purely countryside views. Our home is very close to the sea. We stayed at Ploony Barn from 260424 until 030524 for our wedding anniversary and both mine and my wifes birthdays. As soon as we saw the location of the barn we were taken aback it was and is beautiful. There was countryside along with sheep and cattle as far as we could see and the place picturesque and peaceful. The barn was amazing with everything that you would need from dishwasher to washing machine and whatever else you could think was there it was wanting for nothing. It was beautifully clean and extremely tidy. The owner Lindsay was extremely friendly and helpful. We had a couple of very minor queries that we asked Lindsay for her advice to which we received responses from her within minutes and these were helpful and very positive. Overall we had an amazing week which we enjoyed totally. The location and the barn were amazing. We would recommend Ploony Barn to anyone wishing to have a holiday in a totally exquisite place and location. We intend to return for another holiday in the not too distant future. Many Thanks Michelle and Paul Parsons

Nanette

The barn is perfect. I would highly recommend this place, certainly got the WOW factor. Relaxing evenings in the hot tub surrounded by magnificent scenery. Beautiful walks with the dogs. It is safe and secure. The design of the barn is amazing. Lindsey and Darren owners were available all the time.

We had a great time at Ploony barn. Our stay was very comfortable and everything was taken care of and plenty of information for the barn and surrounding areas. The hot tub was a bonus! The dogs loved the enclosed garden and also the surrounding fields where they could run free! Would definitely recommend.

Murray

All good thankyou

Barbara

Ploony Barn provided very good accommodation for 4 adults and one toddler. The quality of the conversion was excellent. It was great because we were also able to borrow a high chair and a stairgate, and fire guard were provided. The laundry facilities in the utility proved to be very useful as we had rubbish weather. To top things off the owners were pleasant and helpful.

Great holliday and lovely cottage, we would definitely stay again if you are looking to escape and you want peace and quiet away from everyone this is the place to go, the barn was so clean and tidy it was faultless, Thanks Lindsey and Daren for an enjoyable stay.

Perfect place to stay to get away from it all. Beautiful location in the valley & the barn was fitted out to a very high standard. Perfect for us a couple & one small dog but large enough for a family. Very comfortable & cozy & we just didnt want to leave ! Nice walks outside the door as well as the stunning Elan valley a short drive away. Absolutely loved the hot tub after a days walking & was always warm & ready to use. Absolutely loved this place & cant recommend it enough!

Kellie

We four adults 2 dogs stayed for four nights at Plooney Barn and were sad to leave. The barn was welcoming on arrival with flowers and wine, there was clear instructions left on how to use the facilities as well as a wealth of information on local attractions. We found the barn was well equipped, a spacious utility room with washer and dryer an outside tap to hose down the dogs after a long walk, comfortable beds, reclining chairs a SMART tv and so much more. The Hot Tub was definantly a highlight private and not overlooked perfect for relaxing in of an evening. It was very peaceful and quiet, exactly what we wanted. Mobile reception was non exsistant on the O2 network but wifi was available. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and are already looking to book again.

Had a very relaxing and enjoyable long weekend at Ploony Barn. The barn is very comfortable and everything was just perfect!

Louise

We loved our few days at Ploony Barn, the barn was clean, spacious and extremely well equipped. Hot tub was a huge hit and the dogs loved the gardens and didnt bother the neighbouring sheep! Would highly recommend Ploony for anyone looking for a quiet break with all the comforts of home plus extras! . Thank you Rogers family, from the Weavers. Ps. We wanted to rebook for next year but it seems the prices have doubled which is a shame

Amanda
