About The Retreat

The Retreat is a single-storey lodge tucked into the Welsh countryside near Llanrhaeadr-Ym-Mochnant in Powys. This compact yet perfectly formed getaway offers breathtaking views across wildflower meadows and hills that'll make your Instagram followers weep with jealousy.

Set against the backdrop of the Berwyn Mountains, this spot gives you proper Welsh wilderness without being completely cut off. Just 1.7 miles from the village where you'll find two pubs, a hotel, café and fish and chip shop. Perfect for when you can't be arsed to cook. The famous 240-foot Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall is nearby, along with the stunning Lakes of Vyrnwy and Bala for those who enjoy getting wet in more natural settings than your private hot tub.

The accommodation features an open-plan living space with kitchen, dining and sitting areas centered around a cosy woodburning stove. There's a double bedroom with en-suite shower room and a cinema room for movie nights (complete with popcorn!). Outside you'll find a patio with furniture, BBQ and decking - ideal for star-gazing with a glass of wine before slipping into that wood-fired hot tub.

Visit Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall (15 minutes), Lakes of Vyrnwy (25 minutes), Bala Lake (40 minutes) and explore the Berwyn Ridge Walk right from your doorstep. The trails offer spectacular views across the Welsh countryside and enough sheep to count yourself to sleep for weeks.

The Retreat is perfect for couples wanting to escape the daily grind. Beth, the owner, goes above and beyond with fresh eggs, homemade bara brith cake and thoughtful touches throughout. Who needs five stars when you've got mountains, stars and a hot tub?

The Retreat Reviews

Incredible place to stay. Views are out of this world & the hosts were very accommodating. Would recommend here to anyone & everyone.. and no more than an hour away from some incredible places from Mountains to lakes. The only thing that could be improved is a better mattress. but then I am a larger guy who needs a firmer mattress Other than that is a 1010.... in everyway! can't wait to go back in the future...

Perfect and stunning location, amazing hostess, super friendly and absolutely nothing too much trouble, ideal property for a relaxing and peaceful break which is what we wanted, will definitely return and recommend to family and friends
Amanda
An absolutely beautiful place to stay. Every little detail was thought about, such as popcorn in the cinema room. The hot tub was awesome, being sat outside late at night looking up at the stars was truly amazing. The host, Beth was so lovely made us feel so welcome and comfortable, even made us a beautiful cake. We will definitely come back
Gordon
Lovely relaxing stay, friendly hosts, nothing too much trouble, would definitely recommend
We had a lovely Short break at the Retreat. Bev was wonderful and lovely. Very caring. We are already missing waking up to that lovely view and Fresh Eggs. Bill is already missing Ozzie and Lola and keeps looking for them.
We just came back from the most perfect and relaxing holiday. Beth is absolutely amazing and such a wonderful host. The cottage has a lovely countryside charm with all the amenities you could wish for, even an air fryer! There is plenty of things to do around such as the waterfall, visit to the lake short drive and also Welshpool steam train but we opted for few days of doing nothing but sit outside and watch the sheep graze. Its absolutely relaxing and a great escape from the busy city! We will be back!
Beautiful location Beautiful cottage Lovely owner Highly recommended
What can I say we loved the retreat, the views are amazing. Its so peaceful, the movie room is amazing. Loved Seeing the lambs. The hot tub was great. Thank you so much Beth and Mike really looking forward to coming again next year.
Fantastic position,views are amazing. Cottage is great so cumfy,cinema room is great just like been in one .Bedroom has fantastic views and very cumfy bed .Ideal for both our dogs very safe for them they had a great time.Kitchen well equiped ,could just do with some sharper knifes.Bathroom nice and clean.The log burning hot tub is really nice but you need some patience with it ,needs about 2.5 hrs to warm up.Best supermarkets in Welshpool 30 mins away,if you want to go eat there the raven is really good eaten there quite a few times over the years.Will be booking to go back here its just great
Richard
What lovely place to stay ! Highly recommended this place. we were very well looked after. Home made cake and eggs fresh from the farm. And wow! What a view from accommodation ! Will definitely recommend this to my family and friends.
Every little detail was complete for this stay from a pint of milk in the fridge to plenty of fuel for the log burner which kept the property toasty warm. The views are stunning. Bed really comfortable. The fencing kept my little dog in he has kidney disease so has to go out for a wee about 2am most days. Internet was great for a rural area I had a tutorial at 9am Tuesday which was fine and a lecture 5.308pm Thursday where teams dropped out once. Watched a film in the cinema room which is a great add on. Most of all we have come home feeling really rested. Fantastic property and host.
Warren
A great experience from start to finish. Communication following our booking was easy, prompt and wonderfully warm. We felt welcomed before we even got there! The Retreat is a fantastic place, wonderful location, brilliant hosts and incredible views. Highly recommended for a get away from it all break. There really is everything you need in the property, the cinema room is a fantastic addition, and we may now need one in our house! Really wonderful from start to finish. Our host even went the extra mile to post something to us that we had forgotten just so helpful. Thank you.
Sheila
Home from home with everything you need for a peaceful break away. Wonderful location with great views and local places to explore. Movie room is fab with added extras like popcorn and snuggle blankets. The owner Beth is lovely, we saw her on arrival then again as we left but she was always on hand if needed. Safe enclosed area for fur babies with bbq area and chimnea for romantic nights outdoors. Would definately reccomend a stay if you want to relax and recharge
What a lovely place . Everything you need plus nice touches such as homemade cake and eggs on arrival .The views from the Retreat are beautiful.We had such a relaxing break and there are plenty things to do not far away .Beth was so nice and welcoming even showed us the other of her retreat Shepards hut and the new hot tub . We would highly recommend staying in any of these as they are so nice Thank you Beth for a lovely stay . Carl & Dee
Philip
Beth and Mike were the perfect hosts helpful but unobtrusive. We were met and shown round every appliance was explained to us even how to make the log fire up, we spent the week when the heatwave happened in September. As we stepped into the bedroom the view from the windows took our breath away. To wake up up to that was a delight. the patio runs the length of the cottage. plenty of room for alfresco meals. The little touches such as the Welsh bread fresh eggs and flowers from the garden and enough bottled water and tea coffee and milk so you could sit outside straight away and enjoy the landscape. We will be returning!
The Retreat is just that, a great place to relax, take in the splendid views and retreat from the busy world for a while. A super place for two, everything you need and a bit more besides a cinema room no less! coupled with an owner who epitomises what being a welcoming host should be. Beth was on hand when we arrived to show us around and there when we left, always contactable but never intrusive. And because the cottage faces away from the main house you never feel as though you are intruding on them either which is really great. We very much much enjoyed and appreciated our stay, it was exactly what we hoped it would be. Highly recommended.
The Retreat is a little slice of heaven. Calm & peaceful. The views are stunning & even on cloudy or rainy days the view is still breath taking & calming. Beth is an amazing host & nothing is too much trouble & she is on hand for any questions etc. However, she is very respectful of your privacy. The cake thank you Beth was amazing & the freshly laid eggs the best! The Retreat is well equipped & with the added extra of the cinema room. Lake Vyrnwy is a must! There is a short walk 20 mins at a pleasant pace to the water fall which is well worth it. Llangollen village is another visit well worth a look. The river is stunning & the village quaint. There are horse drawn canal boat rides from there too. All in all a week just isn't enough to enjoy the tranquility of the Retreat & get out & see the beautiful sights all around you. The next time we come we will book both the Retreat & the Shepherds hut so we can share our experience with our family or friends.
This is a lovely Place wonderful to wake up to views over meadows with sheep and hills in the distance Beth is a great owner on hand if you have a problem and left treats all over. Nice area to explore village nearby has a handy shop would recommend it best we have ever stayed at
What an amazing place! Stunning views, great location and Beth and Mike were so nice and helpful. We had a brilliant time.
Malcolm
We loved our stay here and cant wait to come back! Beautiful countryside and views. The retreat is up a short lane and overlooks the valley, very quiet all you hear is birds singing, plus sheep and cows occasionally. It is a good walk to the nearest village, with great country pubs and convenience shop. You do need a car to get further afield. Beth & Mike are fabulous hosts, nothing is too much trouble. We didnt use the cinema room on this stay, as we spent a lot of time outdoors. The highest waterfall in wales is accessible from the village along a single track road.
Caroline
A little slice of heaven with the most fantastic scenery, if you want peace and quiet with stunning views this is it, along with the most perfect hosts.

This place is a gem, Beth was lovely and made us feel very at home that we did not want to leave, The Retreat was a very cosy home from home ,we had treats left for us which were very welcome and went down well with a coffee sat on the bench set outside on the decking taking in the spectacular views Thank you Beth for a wonderful break Terry, Jo and Josh dog
We would like to thank Beth for a great few days we spent at the retreat, you couldnt ask for any more . I would recommend it to any one
What a lovely place in a lovely location and with such lovely helpful hosts. Such lovely views from the decking and from the windows within, so peaceful and relaxing. Everything you need is there, go and explore or just stay and chill. Thankyou for all your help Beth.
An excellent place to stay, hosts really welcoming with cake and enough logs to keep the fire going the whole time we were away. We will definitely be looking to come back at some point. Fully recommend the retreat for anyone looking for a relaxing time away in the Welsh Hills.
Beverley
Wonderful stay, very helpful host, nothing was to much trouble, very comfortable cottage, fabulous views. Lake Vyrnwy and llangollen canal well worth a visit. Market Square fish & chips in the village, excellent. Will definitely return. Thankyou Beth.
A great little place to stay and gather my thoughts, peace and quiet throughout my stay and just what I needed. Beth and Mike were the perfect hosts in welcoming me to the cottage and showing me around. The weather was terrible but that didnt spoil my stay here at all. I will definitely be back here in the near future, thanks.
Louise
We had a lovely relaxing holiday at The Retreat. Beth and Mike are wonderful hosts warm and friendly and helpful. And Thank You, Beth, for all the treats much appreciated. And 1010 to Mike for repairing the shower sorry for disturbing your Sunday, Mike. There are so many beautiful places to visit within a short drive, and we thoroughly recommend a visit to Harlech Castle, and also Erddig National Trust. If one doesn't wish to travel any distance, then enjoy the views from the cottage which are stunning......food for the soul. Thanks again, Beth and Mike, for a unforgettable holiday experience.
Heather
Lovely little place to unwind. Cinema room was a great bonus. Beth was so kind! Delicious homemade bara brith, eggs biscuits and hot water bottle! Would recommend
Deborah
Beth and Mike made us feel like we were staying with friends. Their nature made us feel like we were welcome in their home. They made us a cake and left biscuits and tea and coffee for our consumption. The accommodation was clean with everything you need for a break. The views are stunning and its a great base to explore the area. A superb let that we would recommend 100.
Rudolf
The Retreat was exactly what we needed after some hectic times. Beth gave us a warm welcome with a delicious homemade cake, chocolate chip cookies and freshly laid eggs from her free range chickens. The view from the windows were spectacular! Each day was special. We loved the tranquility and peace the surrounding hills exuded.
Arrived to a very warm welcome from Beth an amazing cottage with stunning views the extra little touches home made cake fresh eggs and jams where a lovely touch. The perfect place to wake up in the morning looking at the hills and relaxing Beth was so helpful on places to go definitely be back. Thanks for the beautiful four days of peace and quiet Paul Joanne and Betsy the beagle. I thank you
We arrived with a plan to be hermits for 5 days and recharge our batteries. It was perfect. The views from the comfortable chairs in the bedroom allowed us to sit and gaze at the changing scenery and weather for hours. The facilities were very private and very comfortable. Beth welcomed us and then we were left to be hermits. Clean, well equipped and really appreciated the newly laid eggs and freshly made Bara Brith. A short walk to the bridge meant we watched a kingfisher flying around. We will be back.
Charlotte
Beth and Mike were excellent hosts, they make us feel very very welcome, we arrived early and they let us come in , they let us share their home and garden like it was our own. The retreat views were amazing very relaxing. The cottage its self was very very cozy and comfortable it had everything and more in it than expected . Beth had baked us a cake to have on arrival there was also fresh eggs there and all the essentials like tea , coffee and milk in the fridge. The eggs were from her own garden chickens which I loved feeding. Our dog loved exploring there home and garden and was made very welcome. Beth and Mike were very knowledgeable about places to go and see and gave us little tips like free parking places
