As seen on the Channel 4 World's Most Secret Hotels documentary. Nights under the stars and glasses of wine in the hot tub are yours with this special cabin in the Welsh countryside. This stylish glamping pod is in a fabulous location, set within 4.5 acres, with serene countryside and woodland views to enjoy from the decking before heading inside for romantic evenings in with your partner.

Make your way over the decking and into this brightly decorated, studio-style retreat, where you will find everything you could need to enjoy a break in the countryside. Sip cocoa as you relax on the comfy sofa and get engrossed in your favourite film before heading to a sumptuous bed for a well-earned sleep. Wake up to glorious views across the lake and breakfast alfresco at the outdoor table and chairs. This is the optimum spot to plan your itinerary for the day or spend slower mornings soaking weary muscles in the private hot tub. Completing the homely hut is a shower room and a nearby on-site utility with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

This pretty holiday home offers coast and countryside and it’s easy to explore on foot, two wheels or by car. Discover the picturesque seaside town of New Quay (9 miles) on Cardigan Bay, where you will find shops, bars and restaurants. Wander the miles of golden beaches or enjoy dolphin spotting during a boat trip. Alternatively, Aberystwyth (25 miles) makes for a wonderful seaside day out. Visit the elegant Grade I-listed mansion of Llanerchaeron, 7 miles away, or follow the trails around the grounds to see 200-year-old fruit trees, herbaceous borders and a variety of farm animals.

We enjoyed the stay very much. We were welcomed by the host, with freshly baked bread and delicious Welsh cheese and butter on arrival. Our pod was always warm and the bed was very comfortable.

Whether you're a solo traveller or couple, the pods at Pontfaen glamping are perfect. Not only do they have everything you'll need, situated in such a charming location with immaculately kept grounds, but the extra touches of the hot tub and the unexpected goodies made my stay absolutely wonderful. It was a much-needed getaway and I couldn't have cRead morehosen anywhere more perfect. Many thanks to Andy and Claire for being excellent hosts and helpful throughout. The only downside was having to leave. Hide

Really enjoyed our stay when we arrived there was homemade bread and possibly the best butter I have ever tasted, the pod was really nice and well equipped. It is in quite a good location to visit near by places. Would definitely recommend.
