About this property

Large barn conversion in Cambrian Mountains, private pool , sauna & games room.

Cae Madog Barn features spacious luxury holiday accommodation in a quiet rural location at the foot of the Cambrian Mountains with easy access to many local activities and places of natural beauty in the stunning scenery of Wales.

Cae Madog Barn Holiday Cottage sleeps 17 people in 8 bedrooms: 2 with king size beds, 2 with double beds, 2 with two single beds and 1 with 2 sets of bunk beds, one single bedroom. One double room has an ensuite bathroom and there are two other shower rooms plus a family bathroom which has a bath with shower above.

Enjoy the countryside of Wales with a luxury holiday amidst stunning scenery and swim in your own private heated swimming pool or unwind in the full spectrum sauna, all amidst the breathtaking views of the Cambrian Mountains.

You have exclusive use of your own fabulous outdoor heated swimming pool. Although there are a great many activities to get involved in and numerous places to visit in Wales, you may just want to spend the afternoon floating in the pool, watching the red kites soar in the sky. On cooler days, why not de-stress in your private sauna, snug in your own log cabin?

As a holiday cottage with an exclusive swimming pool and sauna, we are highly sought after for large parties. But even when you’re not in the pool or the sauna, you’ll enjoy the peaceful outdoor space at Cae Madog Barn; when you’re sitting on the patio, the Twymyn Valley is spread out before you with rolling hills in every direction, and you can picnic or have a barbeque in the summer sunshine. Both adults and children are sure to enjoy the detached games room with its pool table.

Explore Snowdonia, climb Cader Idris, visit the renowned Centre for Alternative Technology or King Arthur’s Labyrinth. Half an hour’s drive takes you to the beautiful sandy beaches at Aberdovey, Barmouth and Borth, and right on your doorstep you can enjoy the walks and breathtaking views of the Cambrian Mountains.
Try horse riding, fishing, clay pigeon shooting, rallying, quad bikes, bird and badger watching, sailing, mountain biking around the lakes and golf. Visit the bustling market towns of Newtown and Machynlleth.

What a treat.

I assume that Gemma might claim that the good weather was all part of the service!? We were so lucky-- the sunshine, ensured that we made full use of the swimming pool and hot tub. It was a family celebration of 4 birthdays, and a weekend that we will all remember for a very long time. Glorious walks from the house--- even although the grandchildren all soaked their clothes in the stream. The 7 cousins had such fun together. Thank you Gemma and Simon for making us so welcome. Would love to return--- if you will have us?!

Perfect getaway

We can't praise this property and location enough. The property had everything needed to enjoy a stress free break away and the owners were lovely and always super quick to respond to any questions. 8 adults, 6 children under 7 and a dog stayed for 4 nights over New Year and we couldn't have hoped for anything better. It was clean and well stocked and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely getaway. The hot tub was divine after a long day and the views are stunning. Thank you again for a wonderful break.

Beautiful location

A lovely home in a beautiful setting with lots of facilities suitable for all age ranges. Very clean and host very responsive and helpful to all queries . Only improvement would be to add some basic instructions on how to operate all appliances and hot tub so as not to waste time. However we worked it all out eventually and had an absolutely wonderful weekend.

Fantastic!

We recently returned from a long weekend for mine and my twin sister's 40th. The weather was atrocious but that didn't hinder our fun. The accommodation is perfect for a large party. The photos do not do it justice. The lodge is well presented and extremely clean. Kitchen has everything you would need. We particularly liked the large table to sit around and the lounge space is lovely. The hot tub is in a separate covered area which made it ideal when weather was bad...bit of a shock running back to the house though! We also enjoyed the pool table. We had a day trip to the beautiful beach at Aberdovey and ate fish and chips! We would definitely recommend this to friends and family.

Superb!!!

I booked this for my daughters hen party gathering as it ticked all the boxes. The place was perfect making the stay extra special. Spotlessly clean, well equipped in a picturesque location. Bedrooms warm and comfortable with beds made up on arrival. It had the most impressive view imaginable, especially whilst relaxing in the hot tub with a glass of wine! Lots of space in lounge area and huge dining table that meant our party of 16 could all sit comfortably together for meals. Just perfect and couldnt have been better. Would definately recommend for family gatherings etc. Thank you Simon and Gemna

Lovely barn with character and comfort

We stayed here recently and had a wonderful time. The location is great for walking without driving but has nice towns nearby too. The accommodation was perfect for us (16 of us) plenty of good quality comfortable chairs and beds and could all fit around the dining table comfortably too. One of the best places we’ve stayed in.

About the host

Hosted by Simon and Gemma

Host profile image
We have lived in Wales for 30 years and bought the Barn about 17 years ago. It was semi-derelict at the time and renovating it to a high standard has been a labour of love! We make sure we live in the property ourselves a couple of times a year and invite members of our large family to stay so we can 'road test' everything to make sure it's got everything you want for a fantastic family holiday.

Why they chose this property

Plenty of room for multiple families, with 2 sitting rooms and a dining room big enough to sit together, but with lots of space to escape from all the hustle and bustle if you feel the need.

What makes this property unique

The views really are spectacular! The peace and quiet is to be relished, although there are several bustling market towns within an easy drive. There is a heated pool for your exclusive use, a sauna and a games room. You're only about half an hour away from the beach with Snowdonia just a little further away.
