Quabbs Cabin – Romantic Off-Grid Retreat with Hot Tub in Mid Wales
Switch off, snuggle up, and soak it all in at Quabbs Cabin – a secluded, hand-built hideaway on a working sheep farm in the rolling hills of Mid Wales. Perfect for two, this romantic bolthole near Knighton and Offa’s Dyke offers total peace, panoramic views, and an eco-conscious escape from the everyday.
Tucked away on the Welsh borders with no neighbours in sight (apart from a few curious sheep), this one-of-a-kind cabin is crafted from reclaimed and local materials, thoughtfully designed by a skilled carpenter to blend beautifully with the land. Inside, you’ll find cosy comforts, eclectic touches, and a slower pace of life that wraps around you like a favourite blanket.
Inside the Cabin
The cabin is all yours – a private retreat with a handmade bed overlooking the meadow, a full kitchen for slow suppers and morning coffee, and a copper roll-top bath to sink into after a long walk. Furnishings are rustic, romantic, and comfortable, with handcrafted details and natural textures throughout. It’s off-grid in all the best ways, but you’ll still have WiFi when you need it.
Outside Spaces
A wraparound covered porch means you can sit out with a blanket and a glass of something, rain or shine. In warmer weather, the sun deck is your front-row seat to the golden hour. And then there’s the wood-fired hot tub – utterly private, perfectly placed for stargazing under the famously dark skies of Powys. You'll also find a stargazing kit, binoculars, a telescope, and fluffy throws to wrap yourselves in while the cosmos performs overhead.
Location Highlights
Quabbs Cabin is just a few miles from Knighton and the Offa’s Dyke Path, with direct access to walking trails from the doorstep. Wildflower meadows, ancient woodlands, and big skies abound. Venture out (if you can tear yourselves away) to visit local castles, cosy pubs, heritage railways, and National Trust properties – or keep things simple with a picnic by the river and a game of cards under the stars.
Dog Friendly
Bring your four-legged friend – we’re dog lovers too, and they’ll adore the walks, space, and sniffs as much as you do.
Sustainable & Soulful
From our handmade seed-paper cards to eco-friendly toiletries made with hedgerow ingredients, everything here is created with care and conscience. We live and work on the land and are passionate about offering a low-impact stay with high-quality comfort. Quabbs Cabin has even been recommended by The Guardian for its charm and sustainability.
