The Forager’s Cabin

• Sleeps: 2 (+1)

You’ll discover The Forager’s Cabin beautifully nestled between Snowdonia and the Shropshire Hills, amongst 10 acres of private, semi-ancient Powys woodland that’s the perfect introduction to wild Welsh nature.

Surrounded by nothing but whispering mature trees and abundant native wildlife, it’s no wonder The Times described the cabin as “the perfect retreat from reality”. Add indulgent comforts that include a wood-fired hot tub, a blissful woodland sauna, and a snuggly superking bed, and your romantic scene is beautifully set.

Lovingly handcrafted from reclaimed materials, the cabin itself is bespoke-designed for slow, luxurious living in nature’s bounty. Natural, earthy hues and butter-soft fabrics are instantly relaxing, while well-chosen pieces of nature-inspired art add beauty and interest.

There’s plenty of scope to live the life al fresco, too, with not one but two glorious decks to while away your holiday time on. One features a dining area, with a barbecue and comfy wooden chairs to chat from, while the other is tucked away in the trees… perfect for a hot-tub soak by melting golden sunset.

If you’re really in the mood for a treat, extras include a pre-warmed hot tub, lit by candles and accompanied by award-winning fizz and chocolates.  But for the ultimate in relaxation, you can pair your pre-warmed dip with a session in the scenic, sanctuary-like woodland sauna… complete with indulgent waffle robes and eucalyptus aromatherapy (there is also the option to heat the sauna yourself, if you prefer).

Don’t feel like venturing out?  Surrounded by such abundant natural luxury, we wouldn’t blame you.  Simply light the wood-burning stove and unwind by the quirky round window, watching nature unfold as you reconnect with the one you love in cosy comfort.

You could pre-order mouth-watering treats that include an artisanal Welsh cheeseboard and afternoon tea, or rustle up a delicious supper in the modern, well-equipped kitchen, before tumbling into that downy superking bed (there’s a second queensize room too, making the cabin particularly perfect for two adults, a baby, and a child).

Maybe you’ll head into Welshpool and stock up on local produce at the Derwen Farm Shop (where the home-made pasties and quiches are particularly divine!) Or you could pay a visit to Powis Castle, to view mesmerising tapestries and take a turn around its manicured, peacock-strewn gardens.

Of course, there are some incredible hiking trails and mountain-biking routes right on the doorstep, too. Wear yourselves out in the most wonderful ways, before savouring a well-deserved sundowner in your cabin’s specially-crafted area at the end of the woods… pure bliss.
