Wonderful relaxing break 5/5

What a beautiful location, lovely accommodation, and just a perfect place to have a relaxing break away from it all. Great for dogs with its enclosed driveway and parking. We all loved it, thank you very much!

Jonathan Cox | 30 October 2025

Lovely and comfy location with amazing views. 4.7/5

The accommodation was perfect with everything we could have needed for our short stay. We were given a leaflet to help with any questions about our stay which was very helpful! The weather was also great during our stay so the views from the outside was absolutely lovely.

Tatum Davies | 08 March 2025

The perfect stay 5/5

A stunning location, beautiful accommodation, friendly and very helpful hosts. We enjoyed a perfect weekend here in the snow. Hot tub was fantastic, looking up at the clear night sky without the usual light pollution. The walks around the site are stunning, with local wildlife and farm animals adding to the fantastic views. We will 100% be coming back here, we absolutely loved it. Perfect weekend away!

Paul Rydings | 13 January 2025

Beautiful 5/5

Beautiful location, little extras in the hut on arrival such as milk, eggs, Welsh cakes and a Christmas tree! Hut was very clean and cosy. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side so didn’t get to use the hot tub but we plan on coming back in the summer! Only downside for us was that there are no taxi services around, we went for a meal in Knighton and would have liked a few drinks after, some nice little pubs in the town. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to coming back next year!

Michaela Phillips | 02 December 2024

Short break 4.8/5

Perfect location for a relaxing, peaceful break. Amazing views - would definitely recommend. Children loved the hot tub and Halloween cupcakes. Thankyou.

Guest | 31 October 2024

Mini birthday break 4.2/5

Lovely little stay......A deal for a quiet few nights with the hot tube followed by a glass of wine.

Nia Scott | 15 September 2024

Beautiful hideaway and perfect R&R escape 5/5

Stayed with my 3 children and our two pups Ted & Bertie Lovely added touches on arrival, welcome note and treats for kids when we arrived (and tea facilities after a long drive which was very welcome) Beautiful accommodation with outstanding views felt like a little oasis away from reality Kids loved the hot tub and the dogs enjoyed having a generous sized enclosed garden to play in.

Emma Rowlands | 06 August 2024

Just what we needed! 5/5

Super tranquil stay at this perfectly sized pod. Amazing views from the outside seating and hot tub of rolling hills. Some pubs nearby. Great place to detach from busy city life.

Sion Fenwick | 16 July 2024

Cwm hapus 5/5

lovely place to stay, very peaceful and amazing for the dog. Will definitely be going back. Many thanks

Sion Lloyd | 18 June 2024

Peaceful, beautiful and so perfect 5/5

We had the best stay, the hub was so cosy and clean! The secure garden was fabulous as we have a terrier that loves running off! The hot tub was brilliant every day watching the sun set. We couldn't recommend this place more if we tried.

Bethany Thrower | 10 June 2024

Stunning Pod! 4.8/5

We had such a lovely time at this pod! It’s exactly what we hoped for and what’s in the pictures. You are pretty far away from the other pods, which is means it’s very private, and it’s set in the beautiful countryside. Such a relaxing weekend with stunning views and the hot tub certainly helped! Will definitely be coming back.

Guest | 17 April 2024

Beautiful 5/5

Beautiful place, just what I needed! Would definitely return and recommend! Very clean, very tidy, excellent location. Wonderful views and walks just on the doorstep.

Abi Conlin | 30 March 2024

Great trip 5/5

Amazing location and set up for us, accommodating for 2 adults, a baby and large dog. Beautiful views. Hot tub was a lovely touch to relax in the evenings. Cwm Hapus had everything we needed. We recommend going for food in the Dolfor inn.

Jessica Sullivan | 28 October 2023

Very lovely stay 4.8/5

me, my husband daughter (10) and dog stayed here and had a lovely time it was secluded and very peaceful will most certainly return

Kelsi O'Hanlon | 07 September 2023

Perfect Holiday 5/5

Nothing is perfect people say I strongly disagree. Rhian and Gareth have achieved the perfect holiday retreat. Everything top class. Total relaxation amongst stunning scenery. I would highly recommend this holiday you definitely won’t be disappointed.

Rosemarie Arnold | 28 August 2023

short break perfect location 5/5

extremely happy with everything. The campus was nice and clean and the view was just stunning. brought a few hamper's that were lovely and the greeting hamper was lovely to. we highly recommend cwm hapus and will be revisiting again for sure. Thank you kindly.

Jeffery George | 18 August 2023

Perfect! 5/5

We stayed for 3 nights and the pod is gorgeous. The hot tub was lovely and situated in with a stunning view. The little note, tea cakes and chocolates for the kids was a lovely touch. I would definitely stay again (without the children) so we could make the most of the walks and the fact it’s very rural.

Sian Lidford | 15 August 2023

Beautiful relaxing stay 5/5

We were lucky to have a last minute stay at Cwm Hapus, and we’re so happy that we nabbed it. What a lovely, clean, peaceful and welcoming place. The pod was immaculate, and we couldn’t believe how good the facilities were. We all loved the hot tub, and which again was immaculate. Will definitely be looking to stay again. Diolch

Cerys Symons | 07 August 2023

Highly recommend A***** 5/5

What a wonderful place to stay. Location is perfect!!! Lovely quiet area for total relaxation. The pod was spotlessly clean and well equipped for all our needs. Hot tub was amazing and we loved the fire pit outside. The area was totally enclosed for our dog to run round. We met the owner Rhian who was lovely too. Highly recommend!!! Can’t wait to stay there again. Thank you

Louise Bennetta | 05 August 2023

Amazing stay! 5/5

The accommodation was spotless and modern. Cwm Hapus had everything we could possibly need for our stay. We loved that each accommodation was securely fenced so the dog was able to wander around without checking where she she was. The location is stunning, surrounding by beautiful hills. Which makes it feel extra special when in the hot tub. We ordered a couple of hampers for our stay and they did not disappoint, well worth the money. Would highly recommend staying here, we will be back to try out the styles of accommodation.

Laura Mckinnon | 06 June 2023

We were looking for a quiet remote place to get away from busy life, and this was a perfect setting 5/5

The shepherd’s was in an ideal setting for a relaxing break. The countryside is beautiful, and the hut had everything we needed for a mini break. It was perfect for myself my husband and our dog. I think it might be a little small for more though.

Adrian Turner | 30 May 2023

excellent start to married life.. 5/5

I booked Cwm Hapus for a remote mini-moon following our wedding and it did not disappoint. On arrival, we were welcomed by the breathtaking views, balloons and a banner in the pod; a beautiful and personal touch. Whilst the pod is situated in a small and quiet village, there are plenty of places to explore on foot / short drive: Ludlow, Clun, Montgomery etc. We will definitely be booking another break, and we would highly recommend the same to anyone looking for a short / quiet break away.

Cerys Bibey | 24 May 2023

Amazing weekend 5/5

We had an amazing weekend here accommodation is lovely clean and comfortable and the area so peaceful and quiet, very relaxing would 100% recommend to others

Amy Arnold | 02 May 2023

A weekend chill 5/5

We stayed at Cwm Hapus in February with our two young daughters! There was a highchair readily available and a travel cot too! There was an added touch of two mini chocolate bars for the girls to enjoy, which we were very greatful for The pod was just what we needed! The fact that it's totally fenced in gave us peace of mind and we were able to totally relax while the girls were out on their bikes! The added touch was the all the information provided in the welcome book, local takeaways, days out, pubs, doctors, dentists, chemists, it was all there and super helpful! We would not hesitate to return in the future it was fab!
