HOT TUB | PET FRIENDLY | PARKING | PLAY AREA | FIRE PIT

Sitting with five other luxury lodges with hot tubs in Wales' heart, Primrose Pod offers dog friendly stays near Rhayader. The enclosed garden and surrounding walks make Primrose Pod one of the best places to stay in Mid Wales with a dog!

Wander the local footpaths and marvel at the scenery. The Gilfach Nature Reserve is a two mile walk from Primrose Pod and a little further on Monica's Munchies sells breakfast rolls until 3pm. For a scenic drive described by the AA as one of the top ten in the World, head through the dramatic Elan Valley to Devil's Bridge.

Primrose Pod sits in the little farming village of Saint Harmon just outside the market town of Rhayader. Rhayader is the first town on the River Wye, where you will find shops, pubs, cafe's and nature walks.

Sleeping up to four people in two king sized bedrooms, the second bedroom at Primrose Pod can be converted into a twin for children if you choose.

Perfect for those seeking walking holidays in Mid Wales or dog friendly lodges near the Elan Valley. Primrose Pod has a modern kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, oven, & microwave. The living area is open plan with sofas, a smart TV and a dining table looking out to your enclosed garden. The modern shower room has a flushing toilet and a corner shower. No more trekking across a field in the night!

Primrose Pod has decking and outdoor seating looking over your secure garden. Spark up the barbecue or firepit or lounge in the steamy bubbles of your private hot tub. Sheer bliss! Your holiday with dogs or with little children will be all the more relaxing thanks to the enclosed garden. Watch them play from the hot tub or while soaking up the sun, knowing they can't wander far.

Beautiful stay

Primrose was very clean and cosy. Couldn’t have wished for a better way to spend our anniversary. I would definitely recommend but take into consideration that everything is a long walk away so if you don’t drive expect to stay in the cabin or pay taxi fares. All in all we had an amazing time just relaxing and spending time in the cabin/hot tub. Ps the bed is comfortable I could have brought it home with me.



Absolutely stunning lodge. Clean, cosy and had everything we needed.

The location was beautiful and so relaxing. The lodge was spotlessly clean and was very cosy. It had everything we needed for our weekend break. The beds were very comfortable. The hot tub was great! We had the most relaxing time and we would definitely return!



Perfect stay!

We booked Primrose to celebrate my 30th birthday as a family. When we arrived we were amazed at how beautiful it was. It was cleaned to a brilliant standard it had everything we could possibly need and it was in a gorgeous location.

My 1 year old made use of the gated garden and charged around for hours whilst we soaked in the hot tub.

The extra touches of mince pies and waffled went down a treat and the Christmas decorations made it feel cosy! Daisy loved the Christmas tree, it gave it a home from home feeling.

Primrose will always have a piece of our hearts and we cannot wait to return as we actually got engaged whilst we were there too!

We had a brilliant stay and will definitely return in the future.

Thank you!

We stayed in the Primrose Pod and it’s was beautiful. The gated garden was a bonus as our dogs loved the space to walk freely around. The Pod was lovely and clean and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Local shops only 5 minutes drive down the road.
Definitely recommend a walk around Elan Valley as it has beautiful views.
Overall we had a lovely stay and will definitely be returning.




Outstanding pods, lovely people.....we'll be back!!!!

Our stay for 4 nights in Primrose was fantastic from start to finish. The pods were spacious and comfortable, the owners have thought of everything. The hot tub was superb the kids and ourselves loved it. The views are lovely surrounded by countryside. The grounds of the site are regularly maintained to keep everything looking great. We had some lovely days out in the surrounding area and even took a trip to Snowdon, which was fantastic. The very local Red Kite feeding sanctuary was well worth a visit too and real treat to see.
My wife left her jacket in the pod upon check out and made one quick phone call to the owners on the way home and a few days later the jacket arrived in post!! Was such a lovely thing to do, thankyou to everyone who worked there, we will be definitely returning at some point soon!!!

Arrived at the pod at it looked immaculate from the outside looking in and boy it was immaculate.
The pod was super clean and tidy.
Beds were so comfortable and the bedding was so soft on your skin.
Wow I loved the shower that was amazing.
The pod had everything we needed for our trip.
I loved the dishwasher I thinking about getting one for myself at home.
The location was fantastic along with the views.
My boy had so much free time playing outside without me worrying if he’s okay plenty of seating.
The only let down was the flys they kept coming in the pod some how but other than that I highly recommend this place.

We had a wonderful stay in the Primrose Pod. The place was spotless when we arrived, we had everything we could possibly need and the location was stunning. We also ordered a hamper which was delivered quickly and added a touch of luxury. The gated garden meant that our 4 year old could play safely and the hot tub was a brilliant addition. Lots to do in the nearby area and great recommendations for places to eat and things to do in the guest information book provided. We had a brilliant stay and will be booking again. Thank you.

We stayed at Primrose pod and had a lovely relaxing holiday. The pod was clean and had everything we needed, the only thing missing is a dog poo bin.
The hot tub was hot and a great addition. The views from the pod were beautiful, waking up to cows and sheep outside of your window makes a great start to the day.
Elan valley is close by and definitely worth a visit, it does not disappoint.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.




Highly recommend

We booked for a family of 2 adults & 2 children (aged 12 & 9) during May 1/2 term. The property itself is stunning, clean & more spacious than we had expected! It’s decorated beautifully & equipped well for a self catering break. The pod sits staggered alongside 5 others, with a fence for privacy by the hot tub, which was huge & for all of us comfortably. The local area is the most beautiful part of the world. We spent days exploring the elan valley, visiting the dams, going for long walks with our energetic 3yr old Labrador, highly recommend the visitor centre at the Elan Valley. Cost £3 for parking all day which includes electric vehicle charging, they have super knowledgeable rangers to help with walks / routes too! The cafe is reasonably priced & there’s a play area for children also. Another must visit is the Gilfach nature reserve, lots of routes to walk (big or small) along the river wye. We loved the accommodation & area so much we’ve already booked for next year! Thank you so much to our hosts for having us

Holidays Wales helped us out when we were on another holiday that wasn't what we'd paid for. They were quick & very helpful to get us booked in & even provided milk & biscuits for our arrival the pods were very well looked after & very clean & the hot tub was the same, very well maintained. We enjoyed the area of Rhayader & lots of things suggested in the booklet onsite including the steam Railway to Devils Bridge & Silver mountain experience. Thank you so much for being so helpful & welcoming we will definitely be back again xx

From the beginning to the end it was faultless. The pod had everything you could possibly need. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. And to relax in the hot tub watching the birds was amazing. Will certainly return one day.

This was the perfect weekend break for us. We could take our cockerpoo Bruce, he loved the garden for a play!
Primrose was very spacious. It has everything you need for a weekend away.
