Welcome to our wellness retreat. A relaxing Lodge in the heart of Snowdonia, with space for up to sixteen guests. It is the perfect forest retreat for business teams, outdoor groups, families, and creative projects.

The space
Discover a mountainside wellness retreat that effortlessly blends comfort with heritage, deeply rooted in Welsh tradition. Escape the daily grind and settle into the trees, mountains, and rivers surrounding our Lodge, which promises a comfortable and restorative stay.
• The Grounds: Our tree, fern, and moss covered grounds include private streamside paths and rocky woodland. You will find designated quiet spots perfect for meditation alongside our mountain river, which offers a refreshing plunge for the spirited.
• Outdoors: Enjoy the warmth of our group fire pits and outdoor seating gazebos, creating an inviting space for evening gatherings and stargazing in the heart of the Dark Sky Reserve. Nearby trails and mountain biking routes open up a world of exploration across the breathtaking Snowdonia landscape.
• Shared Estate: During peak times, the spacious parking area and common grounds on our four acre retreat may be shared with guests staying in our separate studio. We ask all our guests to respect the peaceful nature of the estate. If you are looking for absolute peace and privacy, please ask us about booking exclusive use of the entire property.
Car Free Travel Our local railway halt, Roman Bridge, is less than a ten minute walk away, connecting you to the Snowdon Sherpa bus, scenic coastal journeys to Llandudno, and wider UK rail connections. The Conwy Valley Fflecsi bus can be booked to stop right at our drive. Zip World, the Welsh Highland Steam Railway, and the Snowdon pathways easily accessible a short car journey away.

• The Estate: The Lodge sits on our four acre wellness retreat alongside our small guest studio and our own home. Each accommodation has private areas alongside shared riverside paths and woodland.

• Summer Stays & Children: During summer we welcome families and friend groups. Because of our rugged mountain terrain, open river, and the delicate nature of the retreat, children must be fully supervised at all times.

We find ourselves loving the Airbnb experience. We’d arm wrestle anyone who says their guests are better than ours, we have the best guests!! Myself and Julie, who moans a lot and keeps giving me things to do, love our secret Welsh retreat and enjoy listening and sharing what we know so you can get the maximum fun and happiness from your stay. To quote an early guest “Middle of nowhere but the centre of everything”, that’s us. Julie and Chris
