Hafod Glan GwyNear Hay on Wye and Brecon Beacons, Wales Sleeps 2

Hafod Glan Gwy means summer house by the river but winter here is special too. The perfect romantic bolthole or simply a place for peaceful solitude.

Nestled in a bend of the River Wye, the soothing sound of the bubbling water quickly calms the busiest of minds. From dawn chorus to sunset, the full height windows picture frame the ever changing scenery of the river bank, you may even glimpse otters playing in the shallows. This cosy cabin has been thoughtfully designed inside and out with an expertly finished, contemporary interior and a softly lit, private patio area. Lower the bed from the cupboard and it instantly transforms the room into a sumptuous bedroom with a warming log burner at the end of your bed. We think it’s one of our most comfortable beds, difficult to resist on a rainy afternoon.
