For a luxurious group stay in the magical Welsh countryside, holiday at this impressively handcrafted, cedar-clad lodge. Part of the remarkable 17th-century Bryn Tanat Hall Estate and Wellness Spa, the property delivers the perfect blend of stylish, contemporary interiors and quirky, on-trend finishes. You’ll be deep in the breathtaking Tanat Valley, with the serene River Tanat flowing through the grounds, making the lodge an ideal base for exploring the natural beauty south of the Berwyn Mountains (14 miles). Often overshadowed by nearby Snowdonia National Park, this less-crowded gem boasts stunning scenery and is a haven for walkers, cyclists and nature enthusiasts. Local gems to visit include the enchanting Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall (10 miles), the tranquil waters of Lake Vyrnwy (19 miles), and the vibrant towns of Oswestry (7 miles) and Shrewsbury (20 miles). A little further afield, enjoy the charm of Bala and its namesake lake (28 miles) or the beauty of Llangollen and the Ceiriog Valley.
Before stepping into this single-level hideaway, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this tranquil setting. Inside, the lodge continues to charm with its stylish wood-clad interiors and a spacious, light-filled layout. The open-plan living area serves as the hub of the home, providing a welcoming space to relax, enjoy the views, and plan your adventures. On balmy sunny afternoons, slide open the patio doors, extending the space and inviting the outside, in. As the evening draws in unwind in the cosy lounge, complete with plush seating, a Smart TV, and a wood burner for those cooler evenings. The sleek and well-equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing hearty meals, which can be shared around the round dining table or at the breakfast bar for more intimate gatherings. The bedrooms, all beautifully decorated with quirky wallpaper and top-of-the-range furniture, all feature zip-and-link beds and can be arranged as super-kings or twins on request at the time of booking. They also all have en-suite facilities – one with a bath and the others with modern showers.
Outside, it’s a joy to soak up the beauty of the Welsh countryside with sunshine from dawn to dusk with a book or shared meal around the table and chairs – you can hire a gas BBQ for a leisurely sizzle-up. Spend the evenings unwinding in the bubbling hot tub as you gaze out over the picturesque landscape or book at the on-site wellness spa, which features another hot tub, a sauna and luxurious treatments. Active guests can make the most of the state-of-the-art fitness suite (for guests aged 18 and over) or hit the outdoor tennis court for a leisurely game. Private parking for up to four cars is also available.
