Rubys Lodge

Unwind, recharge and reconnect with nature in this romantic hideaway just for two. Set on a working farm in the heart of mid Wales, it offers the chance to step away from everyday life and enjoy incredible views, fresh air and deep relaxation.

Despite its sense of seclusion, the cabin is located just 2.5 miles from the small market town of Knighton, where you’ll find winding streets with beautiful half-timbered houses, and a good variety of shops, pubs and places to eat. This is a wonderful location for outdoor activities, with no less than 32 designated cycle trails and an incredible choice of walks, including both Offa’s Dyke Path and Glyndwr’s Way, which meet at Knighton.

While in the area, don’t miss a fascinating guided tour of the Spaceguard Centre, a working astronomical observatory just 5 miles away. The renowned foodie town of Ludlow is just 21 miles away.

This one-of-a-kind retreat is located on a working farm, where you’re surrounded by wildlife, horses and pedigree sheep grazing in the fields. The cabin has been carefully positioned for extraordinary views of rolling hills, forests and the ancient Offa’s Dyke, from both inside and out.

Head up the winding path through the orchard, and take the three wooden steps up to the porch. Once inside, hang up your coats and appreciate the magical, open-plan living space with its beams and vaulted ceiling.

The whole cabin has been designed with sustainability in mind, and features quirky, repurposed and hand-made furnishings – including a grandfather clock that now serves as a drinks cabinet. In one corner, a wood burner offers glowing warmth, and there’s a comfortable sofa where you can wrap yourself in a blanket and snuggle up with a book, or simply gaze out at the garden and appreciate the view.
