About Cabin on the Lake

A tranquil escape, relax undisturbed next to your private lake & watch the wildlife go by. Treat yourselves to a hot tub under the dark starry night.

The cabin sits on the banks of our small lake in the heart of rural Wales. Sit out on the decking with a cool beverage from the powerless fridge and watch the wildlife pass you by just relax and be mesmerised by the water.

Take a trip in the canoe and paddle silently around the island or even stop off for a picnic.

Rest in your own, private wood-fired hot tub at the edge of the lake, then dip in the cool waters if you’re feeling hardy.

The cabin has a wood burning stove and a plentiful supply of firewood to keep you warm and toasty on cooler evenings.

The well equipped kitchen is sited under the long overhanging roof so you can have the delight of outdoor cooking in the fresh air knowing you’ll always be dry.

Everything we can think of is provided so that you can have a hassle-free, luxury glamping stay.

Experience the joy of camping in the outdoors with none of the packing!

Your hosts are just a 100m away if you need anything just phone or knock and we can provide.
