"Lovely little pod, great location, the pod sign on the road and at the top of the track don't do the place any good, need bigger and better signs."
But all in all would highly recommend this place. Thank you Wayne.

"Hwyl is exactly as it shows ."
. . 1 of 2 pods in the middle of absolutely nowhere!! 2nd pod is far enough away not to encroach or interfere, & angled in a thoughtful way to ensure maximum privacy. All you could need (including lovely Welsh hot chocolate!), beautifully quiet & very comfortable!! Hot tub had a few jets we couldn’t make work, but we never asked for help & were happy without, anyway!! Pity about all the rain, but still a wonderful bolt-hole for escaping the real world! PS The 3rd car space suggests possibilities of a 3rd pod . . . please don’t!?!*

"The property is perfectly located in the valley with spectacular views and plenty of wildlife we had the pleasure of some snow on our stay it was beautiful."
The hot tub was relaxing and plenty of room

"A wonderful stay."
A beautiful location and pod. An easy location to find, based on the information provided. A relaxing retreat that has been created with love and care. We are missing not being there.
-
"Hwyl is absolutely lovely and we had a great holiday."
It is immaculate and comfortable. The decking area, hot tub and views really make it extra special. The weather was chilly but the heating is good and soon warms the place up and makes it cosy. A great base from which to explore mid Wales.

"We had such a wonderful stay for my birthday, the pod was so clean and smelt lovely."
Was so nice that the pod was preheated as well so as we got in it was so cozy, we are already looking at a stay for next year

"10/10 stay absolutely no faults."
The lodge was immaculate, private, super quiet and comfortable. The hot tub was always at the perfect temperature and was cleaned/checked on whilst we were there for our two day stay which we thought was great. Would/will recommend this place to anyone.
-
"Our stay at Hwyl completely exceeded our expectations."
We couldn’t believe how clean and well kept the whole place was, there is clearly a lot of attention to detail that has gone in to it. The personal welcome message written in chalk on a plaque was a lovely touch. The hot tub is the best quality hot tub I’ve ever been in, and we would never get bored looking out at the beautiful view. We made use of the bbq each night we were there which was just brilliant, and we were lucky enough to be able to sit out at night looking at the stars, which we’ve never seen so vividly. Absolutely incredible stay and I can’t wait to re-book for next year!!
I'm so glad you've had this great experience staying with us and we look forward to having you back to stay with us in the future. Property Owner

"A lovely pod where you can relax, find peace and enjoy wonderful views of the countryside and the red kites hunting in the valley."
The pod was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our two weeks, an extremely comfy bed, cosy fluffy towels and we really appreciated the offer to change the linen after our first week. Having the hot tub to chill out in after a days walk was wonderful and the view of the stars on a clear night was spectacular as there is no light pollution. We were fortunate enough due to the nice weather to use the BBQ several times and it was a big hit. We would highly recommend. For food we recommend The Crown Pub, the Triangle Inn (advisable to book) and Evans fish and chips in Rhayder and a visit to the Red Kite feeding station and the Elan Valley. This is our second visit to Radnorshire and cannot recommend this area enough its amazing.
-
"This pod is fantastic, clean, relaxing and everything you need for a break away from the world."
Could not fault a thing. It's so private and noone to over look you. Would definitely be retuning and would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you x
-
"Amazing holiday."

"What an absolutely lovely place to stay and props to the owners because everything was spotlessly clean."
Couldn't of asked for a better 4 nights away and I would highly recommend for anyone that is looking for a secluded place to stay.
-
"What can I say we absolutely loved it."
We stayed here from Saturday to Monday firstly we were welcomed by a lovely little sign, They also give you chocolate and drinks in the fridge we thought they were a lovely gesture. The pods are very clean & cosy they provided you with all your washing up liquid, sprays, toilet roll, food bags, towels ect. You are also provided with a bath robe each. The pods have a hob , microwave, kettle, toaster, No cooker but that didn't bother us as we had bbq both night as we had beautiful weather. Please note if you are wanting to use the bbq remember to take your own charcoal as thats not provided. The hot tub is also great and very clean . The only thing i would say is it would of been nice to check in earlier we think 4pm is a little late as we travelled 3.5 hours so u dont get the full experience the first day. All in all we had a fantastic stay the pods are amazing the views are great what more could u ask for. We will hopefully be back next year for our wedding anniversary. Thankyou to the owners your doing a great job
Thank you so much for your detailed review. Our 4pm check in time helps make sure the pods are ready for your arrival although next time you visit, why dont you call ahead and see if you can check a little earlier, we cant promise we can accommodate that every time but you never know. We look forward to having you stay again. All the best, Wayne LVG Property Owner

"Honestly the most perfect getaway weekend with my partner and didn't want to leave."
Already wanting to return to do it all over again. The pod was spotlessly clean and had everything needed for a great stay. The location was perfect and in a beautiful spot, totally secluded from hustle and bustle of normal daily life (and the kids!). Loved sitting in the hot tub watching the farmer moving the sheep each evening as well as watching the red kites above and the night sky. Absolutely will be returning to this beautiful pod in the future. Thank you for such a great stay!!
It was great to have you stay with us, please come again. Property Owner
-
"Amazing location and pod."
It really is quiet and peaceful and the hot tub is amazing over looking the hills and sheep. At night time you can also see all the stars so clearly. Pod is warm and cosy and has everything you pretty much need. We used the location to do some walking along Glyndwr’s Way and the Elan Valley. Both offer spectacular views and countryside. We will be back here to stay again and explore more of Wales.
Thank you for your kind Review, look forward to having you stay again. Wayne. L.V.G. Property Owner

"Overall, it was a very relaxing and lovely stay."
The cabin was very clean upon arrival, and everything was in good condition. The hot tub is a great feature for any time of day too, and we thoroughly enjoyed using it. The check in process was also smooth and easy, and they provided simple instructions to find the pods and how everything works within the property. One thing to improve on is maybe the timings to turn up and vacate the property. We had a shorter stay than anticipated because of the late check in, which meant we only had a few hours in the cabin on the evening of our arrival, and on check out we also didn’t have much time to do much. Completely understand the property needs cleaning, but we would maybe suggest having either an earlier check in and an earlier check out or have a later check in and a later check out. With that being said, it was a really lovely experience and we did not let the rainy weather ruin our stay! Thank you to you all.

"We came for a weekend break over Easter and it could not have been better!"
Hwyl is a gorgeous pod and the facilities are great and done to a high standard. We had an issue when we first arrived turning the hot tub on and the owner came out very quickly and sorted it for us. There are some lovely walks, local pub and local shop in the area which are easy to find. We were left some choccie treats and welcome sign, a lovely touch. The pod is next to another pod but far enough away that it still feels private, we didn't see our neighbours at all. The hot tub and bbq area are also really private. We didn't want to leave, it was so peaceful and scenery is amazing. Only one recommendation I would make is to include in the online description or information email that you need to bring coal for the bbq, this wasn't an issue as when we realised we popped to the local garage to pick some up. I would highly recommend Hwyl and will definitely be returning.

"Perfect couples get away!"
Very clean and well kept pod! 30 min drive to the elan valley that made for the perfect day out. Amazing views from the hot tub! Thank you for an amazing few days away!
-
"The lodge is absolutely lovely, perfect for a couple."
The bed and sofa are very comfortable, and the space itself felt very homely. The owners left a note and some treats. Lovely details. There were towel robes for the hot tub, which we were not expecting so that was a bonus. The only downfall would be that there is so little to do in the day. We drove 30+ mins into Newtown and we were ready to go back after 20 minutes. We could not find the local pub, i would not say anything is within walking distance personally. We bought a puzzle and that kept us busy for the following day. Perfect for people who just want to sit in and chill - it was the most relaxing location. Very out of the way and quiet.
-
"Excellent property for two people."
Very well kept and clean with the walks and views from the hot tub superb,thanks for a lovely week.
-
"We had a really great stay here."
We loved every minute. The location was amazing with the views and privacy. We will defiantly be returning. Again like previous reviews we didn’t realise there was no Ivan and bought food to cook in it. But we took it home and had it. Highly recommend tho
-
"We had a fantastic stay in Hwyl."
The pod was clean and well equipped. The hot tub wasn’t on when we arrived but the owner came out quickly and it was up and running by the morning. We can’t wait to return! Thank you for a lovely stay!
-
"We had a great stay a few weeks back."
Left a day early to stay with some friends who live far from us, but we’ll definitely be back!
-
"We arrived at the property and was totally blown away with the view and tranquility."
The pod was faultless with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was perfectly positioned for the privacy of the hot tub. We would definitely recommend this and be coming back. Mark and Claire
-
"Booked as a Christmas present to ourselves by my wife and I, and I can honestly say one of the best decisions we've made."
Sitting in the hot tub every day admiring the stunning view, and watching the red kites float through the valey was absolutely amazing. Made the decision there and then that we'd be back the first opportunity we get. ***** 5 stars all day
Thank you for your kind review. Hope to see you again soon. Wayne - L.V.G. Property Owner

"Great communication on day of check in due to access to property."
. Owner was brilliant and our stay was something we will never forget.. Hot tub was pre heated and ready to use which was great. Only thing which would of been nice was some washable slippers to and from the hot tub.. other then that. Would definitely book again..
-
"What a beautiful escape to the country!"
The cleanliness was spot on to the smallest detail.The hot tub was already bubbling when we got there.Just one small detail, that was mostly our fault, because we didn’t read well probably, there wasn’t a oven and we had to put the pizzas in the bin. Waking up to a beautiful nature, where only a few sheep was watching us wandering who on earth are those strangers made our day
-
"No complaints at all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back."
Great facilities, great location, very clean. Thank you!
-
"Beautiful place."
Secluded and quiet. Brief chat with the owner on arrival and he was lovely. En suit is amazing! Will definitely be visiting again
-

"Me and my friend had such a fantastic stay in the pod!"
The pod was beautifully decorated in a stunning area, the hot tub was incredible, really well priced for the experience! I’m definitely looking at coming back soon!

"Thank you for a really lovely stay - the pod had everything needed (even a wardrobe which I have never had in a pod before!"
!) I would absolutely recommend Hwyl for a relaxing comfortable break.
-
"We had a lovely 3 night stay at Hwyl, will 100% be booking again!"
Lovely family who own the pods!
-
"Had a lovely 5 night stay mid September."
Very cosy. Spotlessly clean. Stunning views. Great place to switch off kick back and relax. A dip in the Hot tub was a perfect end to the day after some long walks and trails. WiFi signal was surprisingly good considering the remoteness of the location. Highly recommended and look forward to returning again one day. Couple from Oxfordshire

Had a lovely stay pod was amazing very clean spotless in such a quiet location hot tub amazing only thing missing I would say was a cooker but would highly recommend it for a lovely stay
-
"Absolutely brilliant experience."
Loved the Pod, superb quality. Tastefully fitted out. Location was wonderful. Loved the privacy. The view is glorious. The decking is like a second room. Really enjoyed eating out on the decking. The lights under the top wooden rail are a lovely feature. The Pod is fitted out very well. Excellent appliances. The hot tub and picnic table are fantastic. Parking is so convenient. Very relaxing break. Can't wait to come back. It was my ideal holiday location. Only one observation, would it be possible to include a small oven, maybe under the microwave? Tefal Optimo type of thing.
-
"Excellent accommodation that is completely recommended for a relaxing break."
Pod was immaculate and situated in a very quiet location. Hot tub and the view were excellent.
-

"My girlfriend and I booked the hwyl as a last minute get away."
We had a great time and the property was excellent.
-
"We had a lovely stay and would definitely return."
It was clean and comfortable and the location was stunning. Everything we could possibly need was provided. Just to make the owners aware, there appeared to be a small leak from the base of the toilet. We were looking for a couple of quiet, comfortable nights which this was and the hot tub was fantastic. Thank you.
-
"We booked this last minute as we were let down by another place in West Wales."
This place is much nicer, cleaner and over all a better option. Was glad we were let down as will never go there again and would highly recommend Hwyl. The red kites feeding and courtship displays watched from the hot tub were a treat.
-
"We both really enjoyed our little break away and would definitely recommend to others."
Peaceful location, just be aware a lot of driving involved if you do wish to go out daily. The pod was well equipped and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The hot tub was a lovely added bonus and was great in the evenings with a clear sky. We would recommend to others who want a peaceful and relaxing getaway. Thank you!!:)
-
"Amazing! Didn’t want to leave."
The views from the lodge were outstanding. Itself was spotless, couldn’t fault anything! Fresh bed lining for a good nights sleep. Hot tub was clean and at the perfect temperature for a nice relax after a daily walk! Would highly recommend the lodge and will definitely be returning in the near future!
-
"Lovely, clean modern lodge in a secluded location."
Beautiful walks nearby. Had a small issue on the first night but was very quickly resolved, speedy communication. I would happily go back and highly recommend.
-
"Stayed here for my birthday & had the best time!"
Lovely hub very cosy with beautiful views. The hot tub was very good me & my partner had the best stay! Will definitely be coming back & would highly recommend this place anybody wanting a relaxing break
-
"Absolutely loved our weekend away!"
! Everything was just perfect - from the welcome message left for us on arrival to the cleanliness of the pod. Lovely walks near by & we had a takeaway from Turkish Delight (which we picked up) which was great not to cook on one of the nights!! Would highly recommend & visit again. Thank you again to the hosts!!
-
"Such a peaceful and relaxing place!"
The pod was amazing and the views were incredible! Will definitely book again!!
-
"Had an amazing time and was well worth the money."
The photos do not do it justice (which I didnt think was possible) as it is much larger than initially thought and the local areas are amazing. Only super small reccomendation would be for the outise lights to be turned on/off by switch rather than sensored as the stars on a clear night are incredible when the lights are off!
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hywl."
Very well presented in a beautiful location. Highly recommended.
-
"Fantastic location set privately with amazing views."
Our accommodation was spotless and welcoming and the owners had thought of everything to make our stay special…thank you for the welcome chocolates a lovely touch. All home comforts available and the hot tub was the icing on the cake, a great way to relax after walks in the local area and the Elan Valley. We will be booking again and would highly recommend.
-
"Very rural - ideal get away, very picturesque-loved sitting in the hot tub and watching nature!"
Owner and staff very helpful Very clean and well equipped Would thoroughly recommend
-
"Location and accommodation was so good."
The accommodation had everything we needed and more, small touches made it welcoming and that bit more personal. Perfect size for 2, clean, modern, hot tub was amazing. I highly recommend staying here. Thank you very much for all your hard work it really does show we had an amazing time.
-
"The family have gone the extra mile in the thought that has gone towards the inside and outside of the new camping pods."
Very, very pleased with everything. During our stay they also checked that everything was OK and was there anything else we required. Lovely people.

The property
Llandrindod Wells 6.1 miles.
Hwyl is one of two pods at Long Valley Glamping, set amongst the stunning countryside of Abbey Cwm Hir, meaning ‘Abbey in the long valley', which sits on Glyndwr’s Way.
Boasting a private veranda with a hot tub, while being surrounded by luscious hillsides, this property is perfect for a couple wishing to escape to the serenity of Mid Wales for a romantic break.
On arrival you will be delighted to find two off-road parking spaces alongside panoramic views surrounding the pod.
Enter the pod to find a tastefully furnished open-plan living space, curl up with your loved one on the sofa as your watch a rom-com on the wall-mounted TV.
Head over to the stylish kitchenette that contains all the essentials you need to rustle up your favourite dishes; enjoy a romantic meal for at the close-by dining table.
In the evening head to bed and snuggle up with your partner in the double bed; the contemporary shower room is located nearby, featuring a walk-in shower that is ideal for soaking up after a day of travels!
The highlight of the property is the outdoor area, enjoy a barbecue on the lawn before dipping your toes in a fabulous hot tub on the decking; settle down on the garden table and chairs with a glass of wine to finish off the night.
There are barbeque facilities outside, or why not treat yourself to dinner out at one of the local pubs or restaurants; the village centre is 1.4 miles away so makes a pleasant evening stroll to the popular Grade II listed pub ‘The Happy Union Inn’ for a drink, exploring the 12th century Abbey ruins on your way.
Llandrindod Wells is about 13 minutes away by car and is home to a handful of quaint shops, a large supermarket, and pubs and cafés such as Aspidistra Restaurant and Lakeside Cafe, where at the Lakeside Boathouse you can hire kayaks and paddle boards.
The National Cycle Museum is ideal for cycling enthusiasts or history buffs to learn about the journey of the bicycle, from 19th century Hobby Horses to the models you will see on the race tracks today.
Rhayader is around 20 minutes away by car where you can visit the Red Kite feeding station, Valley View Falconry or head out to the spectacular dams of the Elan Valley for some walking, cross country and downhill mountain biking or pony trekking.
Elan Valley was once home to the poet Shelley, who wrote: “This country is highly romantic; here are rocks of uncommon height and picturesque waterfalls.
I am more astonished at the grandeur of the scenery than I expected." Nearby there is the Welsh Royal Crystal Factory, or for a more hands on experience book a class at Alex Allpress Pottery School in Builth Wells.
For tranquil walks, or perhaps a picnic, venture out to Llysdinam Gardens; the 20 acre gardens date back to the 1850s and were owned by the same family for 150 years before Llysdinam Trust took over with a commitment to maintaining the land, the greenhouses and all of the surrounding shrubberies and woodlands.
Shakespeare and theatre fans will enjoy The Willow Globe Theatre.
Founded in 1992, the space has been woven from nature to provide a stage similar to The Globe in London, hosting many productions year-round.
Further afield, the spectacular drive through the Cambrian mountains to Aberystwyth provides a lovely seaside day out.
The cafes and bookshops of Hay-on Wye are 50 minutes by car, and for more active types, Bwlch Nant yr Arian is one hour by car for some truly fantastic free mountain biking trails.
For your next memorable couples break in the idyllic Mid Wales countryside, choose Hwyl!
