The Cargo Cabin, a recycled shipping container, sleeps two. It's has been cleverly converted into a luxury retreat with its own kitchenette, sleeping area and ensuite bathroom. Most importantly it has its outdoor bath which has proved so popular with guests who love to use it at night to make the most of our dark skies.

Buried in Eryri (Snowdonia National Park), this retreat sleeps two and is an idyllic romantic retreat with panoramic views. The tub is described as a hot tub, but it looks like a cool bathtub, so we'll let it sneak in! The cosy pod is stone's throw from Gwydyr Forest and Betws-y-Coed is just down the road to explore, too, as the rest of the national park - Y Wyddfa is around 19 miles away if you want to abandon the pod and get some exercise. The accommodation has wooden flooring underfoot, comfortable furniture and a chic style, providing a delicious atmosphere for snuggly evenings sipping hot cocoa in the glow of the wood burner. Or wake up for sunrise and get an alfresco breakfast.
