Property code: OC-77496

Gloriously positioned amid the beautiful Welsh countryside, lap up the fresh air and unwind in this stylish glamping pod, the perfect retreat for a romantic getaway. Set tails wagging with walkies galore, exploring woodlands, lakes and the fantastic coastal trails. Having roamed the landscape all day, soothe your limbs in the hot tub and enjoy an evening glass of wine under the stars, whilst your canine chum curls up dreaming of tomorrows antics.

 

 

Tucked away in the countryside with lake views, there is so much to explore in the immediate area. When your legs turn weary, return to this quirky and stylish yet cosy pod. Shake off muddy fur and wipe down dirty paws and pad in the studio-style living space, opening the double doors to the fresh air and the beautiful surroundings. Relax in the lounge area on the comfy sofa to watch your favourite movie as your pup potters in and out as much as he pleases. On warm evenings, dine alfresco with delightful views on the decking as your happy hound has a ball scampering amongst the undergrowth. Wake to the sun pouring in and start your day with a morning stroll around the lake as your furry friend gambols in the grass.

 

Set close to the coast, there are plenty of opportunities for a water loving dog to have fun! Venture to New Quay (9.5 miles), a popular seaside town with a sandy beach and various amenities, or head to the secluded Penbryn Beach (15.5 miles) for sand, rocks and caves. Cwmtydu (12.5 miles) is a lovely shingle and rock beach with a great cliff top walk, and the woods at Coed Y Foel (10.5 miles) has mature oak woodland on one side of the river and deciduous trees on the other. As seen on the Channel 4 World's Most Secret Hotels documentary.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The pod itself is very cozy and stored with everything you would need. The location of this pod is perfect, very out the way of the main hustle and bustle which is perfect if your after a quiet getaway but it isnt far from beaches, tourist attractions and local towns which is amazing if you dont want to travel far tRead moreo other places. Andy and Claire were the perfect hosts very friendly and welcoming, Claire made the most delicious sourdough bread. The pod is perfect for star gazing especially in the hot tub which made our stay even better. Would 100% recommend to people to book here. Hide

Absolutely perfect little pod for such a good price it was everything I was looking for! For such a small space it includes everything you would ever need from a mini fridge to an induction hob to a walk in shower/toilet. The bed was also super comfy which was perfect as a sufferer of sore hips.

Fabulous view from the lodge and a very quiet location. Back roads were a bit scary at night during the rain, so would recommend travelling during the day.

We really enjoyed our stay for 3 nights in September 2024. The location is ideal and within 40 minutes of coastal towns and within 15 minutes of the nearest town (Lampeter) with shops and restaurants.

My partner and I had such a lovely time, as soon as we had left we wanted to be back, beautiful site, easy glamping, beautiful nearby towns.
