- Luxury lodge on 11 acres of land a 15-minute drive from Welshpool
- Lake Vyrnwy half an hour’s drive; Machynlleth 45 minutes
- Well-equipped kitchenette; cast-iron stove; wood-fired hot tub
In the mood for a little luxury and self-pampering, perhaps accompanied by spectacular views over the green hills of Powys? Set on 11 acres of land (which you are welcome to explore during your stay), the lodge at Oak Hill Escape, a 15-minute drive from Welshpool, might just raise the bar for any future glamping trip impossibly high. First of all, there’s the absolute feeling of privacy: your only neighbours here are ancient oak trees and wildflower meadows (and the wildlife that inhabit them).
Then there’s the lodge itself, a splendid Scandi-style structure with a high ceiling. In addition to a comfortable kingsize bed and large sofa bed (with luxury bed linen included, natch…), there’s a shower room and a kitchenette with a gas hob, microwave and air fryer, a fridge freezer and all sorts of kitchen utensils, pans and crockery. All you need to make yourself a cuppa (tea, coffee, sugar and milk), plus Welsh cakes, will be waiting for you on arrival.
The lodge comes with central heating, but on a cold evening, you might want to light the cast-iron stove (which runs on bio-ethanol) for an extra dash of cosy ambience, which can also be achieved with the lodge’s dimmable lighting. Oak Hill Escape also has another ace up its sleeve, and that’s the private wood-fired hot tub, just outside the lodge. Have a relaxed soak, wine glass in hand, while taking in splendid hillside views or dazzling starry skies, before slipping into the soft bathrobes provided.

The postcode alone will take you to Dolgead Hall Park. Do not turn into that road as the site is 400 metres away, directly off the A495.
If approaching from Llanfair Caereinion (past the Texaco petrol station & Londis on your right), head west on New Road (A458) for 1.5 miles. Turn right onto the A495, signposted Meifod. Continue for 0.3 miles (passing Dolgead Hall on your left). Oak Hill Escape is on the right, next to the stone chapel.
If approaching from the coast (from the west), follow the signs for Welshpool on the A458. After passing through Llanerfyl (watch as the bridge narrows through here), continue for 3.5 miles; just after Neuadd Bridge Caravan Park, turn left onto the A495, signposted Meifod. Continue as detailed above.
If approaching from Oswestry, turn off the A483 onto the A495 at Llynclys crossroads. Continue on the A495 passing through Porth-Y-Waen for 2 miles, then turn left to stay on the A495 signposted Llansaintffraid, Llanfyllin & Machynleth. Continue on the A495 for 14.8 miles passing through Llansaintffraid, Meifod, past Fir View (Tan Y Ffrith) Caravan Park. The site is a five-minute drive from here, on the left, next to the stone chapel. If you pass Dolgead Hall (on your right) or get to the sharp left bend, you’ve gone too far.
On arrival, open and drive through the gate and park. Please shut the gate behind you. Parking is just through the wooden gate. The lodge is a five-minute walk along the track and then uphill.

Local attractions
The largely paved towpath along the Montgomery Canal (15 minutes’ drive), which you can access at Welshpool, is a popular spot for relaxed walks or bike rides, during which you might catch sight of swans, otters and water voles. If you’re into watersports, it’s also possible to launch a canoe from the slipway at Welshpool Wharf.
Created in the late 19th century, Lake Vyrnwy (half an hour) is a serene reservoir surrounded by the forested Berwyn Mountains. The lake is an important birdwatching area (it comes with multiple bird hides along its shores), with regular sightings of woodpeckers and peregrine falcons.
And if birds of prey make your heart soar, be sure to pay a visit to the Dyfi Wildlife Centre – Cors Dyfi, just outside Machynlleth (45 minutes). This area of wetlands and bog has been home to breeding ospreys since 2011 (the best time to see them is April to September). There are also hen harriers and red kites, plus otters and dormice.
