- Remote Powys site on a working farm a 25-minute drive from Newtown
- Montgomery Canal 25 minutes’ drive; Powis Castle and Garden 50 minutes
- Well-equipped pod with kitchen; separate bathroom pod; horses welcome
When it’s time to get away from it all (especially from other people…), it might be a good idea to book a break at Pant Y Crasty Holiday Pods, on a traditional farm in Powys. Why, you might ask? Well, it’s a blissfully secluded spot, for starters, in a lush valley a 25-minute drive from Newtown. For seconds, there is only one pod on site, so you will have complete peace and quiet.
The pod in question (powder blue on the outside but lined with natural timber inside) has two beds that can be pushed together to make a double; a kitchen corner with a small fridge, kettle, pots, pans, cutlery and crockery; and a small table and chairs. However, chances are that you’ll prefer to consume your meals alfresco, where a seating area (with firepit) looks across the lush Welsh countryside. A separate pod houses the pristine, modern bathroom.
Because the pod is on a working farm, with livestock in every field, canine companions are not allowed; however, the owners will be happy to welcome your horse (for an additional fee), either in a stable or in a field.
There are plenty of walks in the local area, including at the Llandinam Gravels Nature Reserve (15 minutes) on the River Severn, where you might spot oystercatchers and plovers (and otters, too, if you’re lucky); at the rocky Ffrwd Fawr Waterfall (25 minutes); or along the Montgomery Canal (25 minutes).

Local attractions
The Falconry Experience Wales (25 minutes’ drive) operates only by appointment, so get on their website as soon as your Welsh holiday is a-go. After meeting and handling some of the resident raptors (from red kites and kestrels, to hawks and eagles, and more in between), you will get to see them soar and hover in the skies.
Although it started its life as a medieval fortress, National Trust - Powis Castle and Garden (50 minutes) was heavily reworked into an elegant stately home in the late 16th century. Check out the collection of artworks, tapestries and furniture, including a marble table decorated with semi-precious stones, then head out on to the terraced gardens to take in views of the Severn Valley.
There are dramatic waterfront walks to be had at Ynyslas National Nature Reserve (55 minutes), an area of peat bogs, mudflats and sand dunes on the estuary of the River Dyfi. In addition to wild orchids and saltmarsh flowers, you might see birds of prey and otters.
