Buck Barn - a cabin that sleeps 6 guests in 2 bedrooms
HOT TUB | VIEWS | FIRE PIT | CHILDRENS PLAY AREA
Buck Barn - Mid Wales Getaway Buck Barn Cabin is a charming and beautifully presented new addition to a well-loved collection of cabins nestled near the idyllic market town of Rhayader, right in the heart of rural Mid Wales. Designed to offer the perfect blend of comfort and countryside charm, it's a wonderful choice for a peaceful family escape or a romantic retreat for two. Inside, the cabin comfortably sleeps up to six guests. There's a spacious king-size bedroom on the ground floor, a cosy mezzanine level with twin beds that children will love, and a double sofa bed available for extra guests at a small additional cost. The open-plan layout of the living, kitchen, and dining area has been cleverly designed to make the most of the space, so you can enjoy time together whether you're cooking, relaxing, or sharing a meal. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a favourite family dinner or a quiet supper for two. If you fancy a night off from cooking, you can bring back a takeaway from Rhayader and enjoy it at the dining table, or simply unwind on the plush sofa in front of the smart TV. While the inside is cosy and inviting, it's the outdoor space that truly sets Buck Barn apart. Step outside to your private hot tub and soak in the warm, bubbling water as you gaze out over rolling green fields and the peaceful Welsh countryside. With outdoor dining furniture provided, you can eat alfresco, sip a drink as the sun goes down, or gather around your very own fire pit for toasted marshmallows and stories under the stars. The location couldn't be better. Rhayader is just a short drive away and has everything you might need during your stay, including local shops, welcoming cafes, and traditional pubs serving food daily. A little further afield lies the breathtaking Elan Valley – 70 square miles of dams, reservoirs, and rugged landscapes, perfect for walking, exploring, and soaking up the natural beauty of Mid Wales. To make your stay even more special, the site is also home to a small group of friendly alpacas. These gentle animals are a real delight for guests of all ages, adding a magical and memorable touch to your holiday. Whether you're planning adventures in nature, looking for quality time with loved ones, or simply hoping to relax and recharge, Buck Barn Cabin offers an unforgettable stay in one of Wales' most picturesque corners.
Please be advised that there is a 10pm outdoor noise curfew. This is a family-friendly property, and all guests are expected to respect the quiet hours to ensure the comfort of everyone on site.
The cabin is heated and features 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi.

A beautiful place to start 2026
We visited for a mini break in the first few days of 2026, looking for a peaceful location to consume the final cheese and port from Christmas and set up our intentions and plans for the year.
The lodge is beautifully set on the site, and feels very luxurious.
Underfloor heating and the hottub were invaluable as the snow arrived!
A lovely location to explore Elan Valley and the dams, and the recommendation of The Crown Inn was spot on for lunch.

Perfection
We had the best time at Buck Barn - the cabin itself was perfect and had everything you could want and need in a holiday rental. The extras were so well thought out and the kids had the best time roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. The location is stunning and everywhere nearby was very relaxed, even in summer holidays. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing
Me and my partner loved staying here, the views were amazing especially waking up to dozens of sheep right outside our door. Buck Barn was well looked after and had everything we needed for our stay, the hot tub was incredible too, the only thing i could fault is that there were lots of flies around the area and a lot of them ended up in the cabin but if you keeps doors and windows closed it should be fine.

Amazing stay in very comfortable cabin in glorious valley
Great stay at Buck Barn with my two teen boys. Really comfortable, well kitted out accommodation. Hot tub was a real treat. Beautiful quiet valley with sheep and lambs for neighbours, and kites flying overhead. We had beautiful clear skies for star gazing around the firepit. Lots of local activities, and towns only 15 min drive. Would definitely stay again.

My dad wanted to stay for a month!
This was a last minute booking after being let down by a hotel for my mums birthday.
The owners left some lovely treats (lemonade, Welsh cakes, Marshmallows, sweets, Milk and log burner for the fire pit) considering it was just for the night, property was lovely light and comfortable for a family of 6. Thank you again, we are coming back next year for 4 night break.

Friends walking weekend
Beautiful setting in a great location for Elan Valley.
We sat in a first rate hot tub with views of the mountains, watching Red kites flying overhead and once it got dark listened to the owls.
Plenty of space for the 3 of us in the very clean, modern well equipt Buck Barn. Essentials were supplied, tea, coffee, milk, toilet roll, dishwasher tablets etc there were a few luxuries as well.
Will definitely be staying again x

A quiet and peaceful break from city madness
Beautiful, serene, location surrounded by sheep munching on grass. No light pollution at night and very quiet all day.
Buck Barn had everything we needed to cook for ourselves. The entire property was comfortable and clean. Wi-Fi was intermittent as we were warned but what would you expect in a rural area? So it was an excellent excuse to unplug for some time. Only stayed 2 nights and it was not enough. Visited the dams near by. Definitely going back.

Excellent value for money
We loved our stay at Buck Barn. The host was very helpful before we stayed, letting us know via email what is provided for us at Buck Barn. This included the essentials such as milk and tea bags! The host was also on hand via message to help with any questions we had during our stay. The barn itself was very cosy, with great views of the hills and various animals including sheep, goats and horses out of the windows. The hot tub was warm when we arrived and was looked after each morning by a member of staff. The location of the barn is close to Elan Valley which is a must visit. Buck barn is great for a small family or a couple break. We will definitely be staying again.

Beautiful lodge with great facilities
We had a lovely weekend away at Buck Barn to celebrate my dad's 70th Birthday. We opted for the early check in and the Birthday Hamper and the lodge was decorated with banners, a balloon and cupcakes apon arrival. The lounge area was very comfortable and hot tub was a real bonus. Kitchen fully equipped and lovely crockery.
Only thing I would say, is that the two beds in the maisonette area were a little uncomfortable. On the listing it said it slept 4 adults. But two of us adults slept upstairs, and I don't think it wasn't completely suitable for an adult. Just a thin matress on the floor with not a lot of head room. Also the temperature was very hot inside the lodge, we turned the heating off, but it still was quite warm inside. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend, but maybe not for 4 adults.
