Fancy seeing endangered red kites flying overhead from their nesting sites in the woods, or hearing the hypnotic hoot of owls hunting in the darkness? Then make straight for the peaceful hideaways at Bechan Retreats, only 10 minutes’ drive from the handy shops and restaurants of Newtown in Powys. As well as being in a wildlife haven, these luxury wooden lodges have a spectacular setting in a hidden Welsh valley, with views over green fields and ancient woodland.
Each centrally heated lodge is designed to the highest of specs, with well-equipped kitchens for rustling up supper for family and friends, plus plenty of living space with comfy sofas and dining tables.
Thoughtful touches that ramp up the glamorous vibe include Smart TVs for lazy evenings, a welcome pack of essentials (including fizz) on arrival and environmentally friendly toiletries awaiting in the ensuite bathrooms – which have both a shower and bath (result).
Is pure relaxation your goal? It’s so easy to unwind here, with just the birds and wildlife for company. You can take time out to explore the Mid Wales coast and countryside – watch for dolphins off Cardigan Bay, cycle country lanes, visit Eryri National Park (formerly Snowdonia) – or simply sit back, relax and soak up the views from your private hot tub or balcony.

Local attractions
Keen to be out exploring the Powys countryside on foot? A scenic circular walk begins at Llyn Mawr Nature Reserve (25 minutes’ drive), taking you past a trio of lakes to standing stones and marshy wetlands where buzzards and kestrels circle overhead. You might also like to hike the Kerry Ridgeway (half an hour), following an ancient drovers’ route with spectacular moorland views from Wales into England.
On family days out? Let the kids have fun feeding eagles at the Falconry Experience Wales (20 minutes, book ahead), or arrange kayaking lessons and zipwire sessions for them at The Red Ridge Centre (half an hour).
And at those times when you’re all feeling less energetic, clamber aboard the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway at Llanfair for rides aboard a historic steam locomotive across viaducts and through valleys to Welshpool (both 20 minutes). From there, it’s a 25-minute stroll to the stately mansion and formal gardens at National Trust-owned Powis Castle and Garden, where you can also mooch around the South Asian memorabilia in the Clive Museum.
