As Welsh hideaways go, this place is pretty special and it comes with a twist. Graham and Bre Carrington-Sykes have added safari-style canvas lodges with giant leather beds, roll top baths and outdoor hot tubs. Wow factor romance plus outstanding natural beauty on your doorstep. If you can’t afford a flash safari, here’s the solution. Out of Africa into Wales.
Recommended place to stay: Pentre Mawr Country House
Pentre Mawr says
If you’re looking for a country house experience that is less formal than a hotel, Pentre Mawr could be the perfect choice.
However, our new safari-style canvas lodges offer a unique romantic experience and it’s virtually on your doorstep. Each lodge has underfloor heating, a superking size leather bed, roll top bath and private terrace with a hot tub, so while you’re under canvas, you’ll be supremely comfortable.
Our family has owned this house and the surrounding farm for 400 years. We’re all about warm, thoughtful and unobtrusive service in an unpretentious home-from-home atmosphere.
Dining is informal with a menu which changes daily according to what’s in season and available locally.
We’re located in the Vale of Clywd, not far from Llangollen. If you want to get out and about, the surrounding Clywdian hills are great walking country.
Alternatively, take a ride on Snowdon’s steam railway, a ghost-walking tour of Ruthin, try your hand at fishing or climb the (spectacularly steep) old Roman road nearby. Then return to base and relax by the open air pool, enjoy a glass of champagne in your private hot tub, or refuel with a restorative afternoon tea by the fire.
This may be your honeymoon but if you want to bring your dogs, they are welcome; we’ve got a menagerie of resident cats and dogs and even provide doggy towels by the front door.
