Cocoon

• Sleeps: 4
• Bedrooms: 2
• Bathroom: 1
• Minimum stay: 1 night

Although Cocoon is a mere half-a-mile away from the book lovers’ town of Hay-on-Wye, you’ll feel deliciously secluded from life’s hustle and bustle, surrounded by pure rural loveliness.

The woodland glamping pod sleeps up to four guests, with two well-behaved dogs also welcome to stay. Gently sloped ceilings, natural wooden elements and cosy furnishings evoke an immediate sense of home, while enormous windows showcase soothing, far-reaching Brecon Beacons woodland.

Perfect for water babies, you’ll also have private access to the nearby river… so why not hire a canoe and explore? Fishing is available on request, too.

When you’re not luxuriating in the Great Outdoors, Cocoon’s open-plan living space is designed for relaxation, flooded with natural daylight and furnished with colourful comfort in mind. Slide the glass doors open to welcome the outside in, or hole yourselves up for an evening of TV-watching, warming wood-burner crackling away.

Facilities-wise, there’s a well-equipped galley kitchen for feast preparation, and a shower room for freshening up after that fun-filled canoeing session!

On balmy summer evenings, you’ll find a dedicated barbecue in the woods, for sizzling al fresco suppers that morph into star-studded nights of laid-back conversation and giggle-fuelled storytelling.

When slumber-time arrives, you’ll have two bedrooms to choose from. Both feature versatile zip-and-link double beds that can be made into twins on request, to effortlessly suit couples, groups of friends, and small families alike.
