Staniforth Lodge, Newtown

Staniforth Lodge is a luxurious five-star retreat located 10 miles southwest of Welshpool in Mid Wales. This spectacular property combines country comfort with high-end facilities. Every bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom - because nobody wants to queue for the loo after a night on the Welsh ales!

Set on a working farm with sprawling shared grounds, this is proper Welsh countryside living. Take walks right from your doorstep or explore nearby Welshpool and Ludlow market towns. The outdoor covered BBQ area is perfect for socialising - rain or shine (and let's be honest, in Wales it might be both in the same hour).

The accommodation is split between the main lodge and annexe, sleeping 16 guests across 8 bedrooms. The main lodge features four double rooms including one with a four-poster bed. The annexe adds four more rooms: one king-size, one double and two twins. All bedrooms have private en-suites - a rare luxury for large group accommodation.

Nearby attractions include Powys Castle and Gardens (15 minutes), Montgomery Canal (20 minutes) and Snowdonia National Park (1 hour). There's even a local pub within walking distance for those evenings when cooking feels like too much effort.

Staniforth Lodge is ideal for family gatherings or friend reunions. The hot tub and sauna provide perfect relaxation after days exploring the Welsh countryside. Who needs a spa break when you've got all this?
