The Lara is a contemporary lodge built for comfort and relaxation. Everything sits on the ground floor: an open-plan living space with wood-burning stove and access to a garden with hot tub and seating, a separate dining area, and a well-equipped kitchen with electric cooking and dishwasher. Three bedrooms accommodate six people—the main has a super kingsize bed and ensuite shower, while the other two use zip-and-link beds that can be configured as doubles or singles on request. The second bathroom has both a bath and shower cubicle.
The lodge comes with bed linen, towels, wi-fi and electricity included, plus heating via oil-fired underfloor central heating. A wood burner with some initial fuel is ready for use; extra logs are available locally. Private parking fits three cars, and there is a travel cot and highchair available if you ask. The property is in the Cemetery area near Newtown in Powys, set within rural countryside. No smoking or vaping is permitted indoors or outside the building.

What guests say
If I could give this minus stars, I would! Booked in March 2025 and paid in full. They cancelled it 2 days before our stay (May 2026) because they double booked it. I can’t honestly believe the other person booked it before us. That’s a 1st and 70th birthday weekend cancelled. The inconvenience of cancelling other events planned in the area and pet minding services. They didn’t even have the decency to ring. I wouldn’t mind but we messaged less than two weeks ago to arrange a travel cot and high chair and this issue didn’t flag then?!? Not sure where they thought we were going to book with two days notice for a bank holiday weekend! Poor management! Poor communication skills! Poor host! Don’t use!

We stayed in Lara and Root at Pentre Lodges and had a brilliant experience from start to finish. The lodge was spotlessly clean, well set up, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. You can tell a lot of care goes into maintaining the place. Ricky and his wife were excellent hosts. Friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help if needed, while still giving you your own space to relax. The whole stay felt easy and stress-free. It’s a great place to unwind and switch off. We would definitely come back again. Massively recommend.

Just returned from our second stay at Pentre Lodges. This time over Christmas. All three of the lodges are beautifully decorated and the views are spectacular. Ricky and Louise are fantastic hosts, they went above and beyond, decorating the lodges and even leaving us gifts under the Christmas tree. We have stayed in both the Warne and Root lodge and cannot fault anything. This will definitely be an annual visit. So happy we found this beautiful gem!

We stayed in the roots lodge for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The lodge is finished to high standard with every comfort you could need. It's very private and peaceful. The views while sat in the hot tub are amazing. The hosts we met briefly but were very nice and helpful, newton is a short drive away about 15 minutes due to the lanes but you have everything you could need pubs shops etc. We would definitely stay again for a very relaxing break from normal life
