Overview
Property code: OC-77496

As seen on the Channel 4 World's Most Secret Hotels documentary. Escape with your loved one and enjoy lakeside date nights and evenings bubbling away in the hot tub. With the golden sands of New Quay close to home, spend time exploring the coast and keeping your eyes peeled for dolphins before returning to settle down amid coastal hues and cosy comforts.

 

Bursting with charm and quirk, this intimate pod is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway in this gorgeous corner of Wales. The hot tub awaits on your return from adventure, and you can sizzle up the BBQ for a delicious waterside feast on the decked area. Sit beneath the stars with a chilled tipple in hand or snuggle up inside and enjoy a film night on the Smart TV whilst gazing out at your beautiful views. Notes of blue beautifully complement your gorgeous location and bring the space to life. When it’s time to rest your head, enjoy a refreshing rinse in the shower room and then get snug in bed to drift off and dream beneath the covers. Start your day with a mug of tea brewed in the small kitchen area and sip it alfresco whilst listening to the birds rise and shine.

 

Lace up your shoes and head out to explore the delights of bustling New Quay where the Ceredigion Coast Path and the Dylan Thomas Trail pass through so you can stretch your legs and take in the stunning scenery. If you enjoy visiting National Trust properties, there are several close to home including Llanerchaeron (7 miles), a beautiful Georgian villa surrounded by lakes, farmyard and a walled garden.

This is a really beautiful place. We highly recommend it. The owners Claire and Andy were very friendly and welcoming. It is a very peaceful area. Looking across the pond and sitting in front of the pod was amazing. We slept very well and really enjoyed the hot tub which was also clean.
