Welcome
Woodpeckers Carriage is a luxury Shepherds hut in beautiful mid wales in anĀ oasis of trees on Maelienydd Common. It is in a peaceful, quiet area, situated between Knighton and Llandrindod Wells.
There are many things to see and do in this area. The stunning Elan valley area is only 30 mins away and the white sand beaches of Borth and Aberdyfi are well worth a visit. There are plenty of great places to eat and lovely cosy pubs.Ā
This area is famed for its exceptional wildlife and we live on Maelienydd common which is a is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is important as a breeding and wintering habitat for a variety of birds, includingĀ Skylarks, warblers, peewits, and curlews. Red kites and buzzards are also common visitors.
Without light pollution, we enjoy Dark Skies with bright moons and great sunsets.Ā
The Carriage, originally a local slate mine rail carriage, was converted to a Shepherds hut in 2020 to a very high standard, and has a luxury bathroom, cosy bedroom and a kitchen. There is an outdoor patio with BBQ/firepit.Ā

Reviews
"Absolute Gem of a place, off the beaten track and perfect for a peaceful short break."
"it was spotlessly clean, and furnished to a high spec. It has every creature comfort you could want, the comfiest bed I've ever slept in, a TV with Freeview ( which we never used) a Firepit/Barbecue, a Chiminea and Garden furniture, in your own little secluded compound, and an en-suite shower room with toilet."
"Woodpecker's is the best value for money break my Wife and I have ever had, and we've had many, and a lot of them were more expensive, without the facilities or the beautiful setting that this place has."
"The location was absolutely stunning, with great surroundings on a beautiful small-holding site. Being inside the countryside really made a lovely change and contrast to city life. "
"Such a lovely break, great facilities in a lovely garden setting! You get your own space but can also get involved if you want to!"
"Loved the fire pit, the bed was very comfy too! Really chilled area!"
"Very remote and beautiful location! The cabin had everything we needed and was more spacious than we expected. Would definitely stay again!!! "
