The details
A beautifully restored 17th century longhouse set in 320 acres of rewilded Welsh countryside, this is the kind of place where roaring fires, star-filled skies and a spring-fed wood-fired hot tub set the rhythm of your stay. Tucked into the rolling hills of rural Powys near Llanwrtyd Wells, The Longhouse blends deep history with meaningful, nature-led living.
Step inside and you’re greeted by thick stone walls, low ceilings, flagstone floors and a magnificent inglenook fireplace. Original apotropaic witch marks carved centuries ago remain etched into the beams, once placed to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. Today, they add to the sense that you’re staying somewhere truly special. The living room is the social heart of the home, with generous sofas and armchairs gathered around the fire, perfect for long evenings of conversation, board games or a film on the Smart TV.
The kitchen pairs rustic charm with modern ease, featuring contemporary Miele appliances and a farmhouse dining table made for lingering suppers. When the sun shines, head outside to your private covered alfresco space. Fire up the BBQ, sway in the hammock or gather around the fire pit as the stream babbles gently behind you.
The fully enclosed back garden offers peace of mind for those travelling with dogs or little ones, while the spring-fed wood-fired hot tub invites you to sink into naturally heated water beneath vast dark skies, free from chemicals and surrounded by birdsong.
Upstairs, three characterful bedrooms feature exposed beams and wooden floors. Two super-king size beds by Harrison Spinks promise deep, restorative sleep, with one zip and link offering twin flexibility, alongside a charming twin room. A deep freestanding bath provides the perfect post-walk soak.
Beyond the door, guests have access to private trails across ancient hedgerows, wildflower meadows and wetlands. A dedicated bird hide allows quiet moments watching the land come alive, and recent wildlife highlights include water voles and pine marten captured on camera. The entire estate is owned by Lofftwen Ecological Trust and managed by Will and family, with every stay directly supporting long-term habitat restoration. By staying here, you become part of a living rewilding story in what has been called the last wilderness of Wales.
Venture beyond The Longhouse to discover miles of untouched footpaths and bridleways, offering everything from gentle nature walks to immersive wilderness treks.

Stunning accommodation with everything you need in walking distance. The Neuadd Arms is definitely worth a visit, serving great pub grub.
