You will get the full site to yourself with two elevated pods for your exclusive use. Stunning countryside views. Early check-in and free parking with every booking.
Unique and quirky treehouse pods perched on their own private hillside area. The pods offer impressive sunset views stretching across the rolling Welsh valleys and countryside. Features an outdoor seating area, relaxing deck chairs, and cosy bedding.
Nearby sights include Llanrhaeadr waterfall, Powis Castle and Lake Vyrnwy.
The space
You will have access to both the Podfather and Cosy Cocoon.
The Podfather (double sofa bed)
This larger pod is the perfect tiny home treehouse, with futon sofas that can be unfolded into a double mattress with all bedding provided. Additionally, the coffee table and dimmable lighting make it a great secret den and sleepover pod for nature lovers. Also features a built-in power pack for recharging devices.
Cosy Cocoon (double mattress)
This pod is the perfect snug escape. With a double mattress and dimmable inbuilt lighting, this pod is perfect for adventurous souls who don't want to compromise on comfort whilst enjoying sunset views of the Welsh countryside. Weather-permitting, the rollable sides allow the pod to be transformed and opened up for stargazing at night. Also features a built-in power pack for recharging devices.
Your secluded retreat also features a log stump seating area and deck chairs. We provide a small camping gas stove (with canister) and pots/pans if you wish to do some basic outdoor cooking. This area can also be used for BBQs and alfresco dining and is illuminated by solar lights at night. If you wish to use the charcoal BBQ, a smokeless kit with firelighters is available to purchase (cash only please), or you are welcome to bring your own. Please do not burn any of the logs around the site.
A private entrance to the nearby cottage allows access to a shower room and separate bathroom.
Cutlery, crockery, bedding and blankets are provided and included in the booking price, but please bring your own towels if you wish to use the shower facilities.
An off-grid battery pack is provided in each pod to power the lighting and allow you to recharge phones and devices.
All bookings have early check in and late check out as standard, so there's no morning rush to ruin your relaxing stay.
