From cabins to treehouses and everything in between, take a look at my top picks of places to stay when you visit Wales and get planning your next staycation today.
Coes Faen
In the heart of Snowdonia is a historic B&B and spa, with 6 individually designed rooms to choose from. Coes Faen is an adult-only, multi-award winning, luxury lodge with peace and tranquility at the heart of what they do. They have created some of the most calming and peaceful spaces that are there to promote relaxation and wellbeing during your stay. Choose from a room with its own hot tub, one that allows dogs or with an incredible bath to soak in. If you fancy a spa treatment or two, then you only have to just step out of your bed as the treatments can come to you. You can escape to the ‘Cwtch’ which is the Welsh word for hug where a roaring log fire will greet you and you can relax with some drinks, a spot of reading, or just enjoying one another’s company.
Fforest
If you are looking for a taste of the simple life, then head to Fforest. They have 3 sites across Wales from the farm, by the coast, or in a town. All locations have a mixture of accommodation types to suit all requirements and levels of comfort. Their accommodation has been custom designed and built by themselves to ensure you get the best comfort, best views, and best experience of the location. They also combine ethically sourced materials, period pieces, and local craft to create relaxed, comfortable, and inspiring spaces for you to enjoy. Head to the farm and stay in a dome or garden shac. If you fancy a retreat by the sea, then visit their coastal location for a night in a cabin or dome.

This beautiful privately owned luxury hotel is nestled in the heart of the rolling Pembrokeshire countryside and has the most stunning views of the Preseli Hills. At the Grove you will receive the warmest Welsh welcome and a truly relaxing stay is on the cards here.

Sleep under the stars and wake up to the sunrise in these fun pods and you will want to sit back and take in the view on your own private decking. You can add a luxury hamper to your stay whether you want a breakfast hamper filled with local treats or a birthday hamper to celebrate in style.

Old Lands
If you fancy an escape in the Welsh countryside where you eat what they grow, learn more about nature, and relax in the most delightful setting, then a stay at Old Lands should definitely be top of your list. They have 3 holiday cottages to stay in and all sit in or alongside the flowery yard. The rooms are beautifully designed with comfort and simplicity and each accommodation has its own character and features. If you are bringing children with you, then why not book them onto the Forest school. They will be encouraged to play, be creative, and explore the natural environment surrounding the estate. They have a community supported walled garden where the fruit and vegetables are sold in the on-site micro farm shop too. Without the use of pesticides or fertilisers, and as a wildlife-friendly garden, it supports the biodiversity of the Old-Lands estate.
Penlan Lodges
Nestled in the picturesque Welsh countryside is a wonderful cabin filled with all your home comforts and touches of luxury. Everything inside and out of the Penlan Lodges is set to frame the panoramic views from the king sized bed, the hot tub, the outside seating, and the amazing copper roll-top bath. There are 2 cabins to choose from, one just sleeps 2 people so is perfect for a romantic getaway, whereas the other can sleep up to 4 people so is great for a trip away with friends and family. Outside there is also a fire pit where you can huddle around to cook up some dinner, toast marshmallows, or just cosy up and watch the stars. If you are looking for a night in, then why not treat yourself to one of the delicious hampers on offer from a cheese board or a romantic package of champagne and chocolates.
Squirrels Nest
If you go down in the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise as the Squirrels Nest Treehouses near Powys are a luxurious glamping staycation like no other. Feel completely switched off from the outside world as you look out to the amazing view of the countryside that surrounds your treehouse. There are many places to chill and watch the world go by here. From laying in the hammocks that are strung between the stilts to getting cosy in the most comfortable bed and if that isn’t enough, then soak in the bubbles in your own private hot tub with a glass of fizz in hand. With your own kitchen area in and outside, you can cook up your very own romantic meal, or why not grab a bottle of wine and toast some marshmallows outside. Check out the bath in the Cadwollen’s Treehouse for the best bath out there or their newest addition Prince Llywelyn which has its very own suspended hammock overlooking the downstairs area.
