Y Geunant Nant Celyn, Bryn Eithin Gwyddelwern, Corwen

Escape from it all in this cute, timber-clad getaway that’s absolutely perfect for couples or small families. Beautifully designed both inside and out, it’s the ideal place to relax after a day’s adventures in the great outdoors or exploring the cultural attractions of gorgeous North Wales. Cosy, comfortable and completely charming, this rural escape has it all. Step in through the sliding glazed doors that make up almost the entire frontage and you’ll find yourself inside a curving, timber-clad space with white walls and a timber floor. Everything you need is here – a space to sit and admire the views or watch the Smart TV, a bijou kitchen with great cooking facilities for meals and snacks, a dining table for four and, when you’re ready for a snooze, a king-size bed with storage drawers beneath. The separate twin bedroom (with a wardrobe and TV) is at the far end, and you can wake up to a refreshing rinse in the sleek family shower room. To make the most of the fresh air, your private deck wraps around the pod and boasts a fabulous hot tub as well as a built-in BBQ and outdoor furniture for enjoying al fresco drinks and dining. Located with three other pods on a traditional Welsh dairy farm, the pod is just 2.5 miles from Corwen, where there’s a selection of shops and restaurants. Historic Ruthin is just 10 miles away, offering an array of independent shops, a Victorian gaol and a popular craft centre. And in Llangollen, 12.5 miles, there’s so much to see and do, including walks and water sports, a canal offering horse-drawn rides and cruises to the famous Pontcysyllte aqueduct, an ancient abbey and castle, a heritage railway and waterside cafes and pubs.
