Just 1.7 miles from the village where you'll find two pubs, a hotel, café and fish and chip shop. Perfect for when you can't be arsed to cook. The famous 240-foot Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall is nearby, along with the stunning Lakes of Vyrnwy and Bala for those who enjoy getting wet in more natural settings than your private hot tub.
The accommodation features an open-plan living space with kitchen, dining and sitting areas centered around a cosy woodburning stove. There's a double bedroom with en-suite shower room and a cinema room for movie nights (complete with popcorn!). Outside you'll find a patio with furniture, BBQ and decking - ideal for star-gazing with a glass of wine before slipping into that wood-fired hot tub.
Visit Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall (15 minutes), Lakes of Vyrnwy (25 minutes), Bala Lake (40 minutes) and explore the Berwyn Ridge Walk right from your doorstep. The trails offer spectacular views across the Welsh countryside and enough sheep to count yourself to sleep for weeks.
The Retreat is perfect for couples wanting to escape the daily grind. Beth, the owner, goes above and beyond with fresh eggs, homemade bara brith cake and thoughtful touches throughout. Who needs five stars when you've got mountains, stars and a hot tub?
