Description

The Dragon’s Eye wakes up once more, to a beautiful lake view in the heart of the West Wales countryside. As featured on ‘Cabins in the Wild’ series (Channel 4 and Netflix), this award-winning cabin offers a truly unique opportunity to see Wales through its legendary eye. With stainless steel shingles resembling a dragon’s scales, this unique glamping unit will really fire your imagination. This solar-powered cabin offers a unique opportunity to fully disconnect, as it is free from TV and WiFi, allowing you to immerse yourself completely in nature and enjoy the peaceful countryside.

Relax on the large rotating bed and enjoy a stunning view of the beautiful Welsh landscape (night and day) through the full-height glass ‘eye’ or from your elevated patio. Or cwtch up in the warmth of the wood burner while protected from the elements by the sheep’s wool insulation. End the day with a hot shower in the walk-in wet room, then turn the bed around from the world so that the dragon can sleep tight. This is a unique experience staying at this studio-style accommodation.

There is plenty to do on site, with a boat and canoes provided for a relaxing day on the lake, the option of fishing, and access to a shared hot tub, games room, and pizza oven. You can also enjoy the company of donkeys on site. Close to Cardigan Bay and the Cambrian Mountains, Dragon’s Eye also provides a great base to explore this beautiful part of Wales and its wide range of attractions.

Reviews

Absolutely amazing pod the dragons eye is! We had a lovely stay getting away from a busy life to pure bliss & relaxation here. At peace with the beautiful views & outdoor lifestyle relax & unwind in the hot tub & get all cosy with the fire. Feed the donkeys & have a paddle around the lake just what we need some valued us time. 100% recommend this place can’t wait to come back next year & hopefully see some stars that’s the only thing we didn’t see as it was to foggy both the evenings but apart from that we had a fabulous weekend away. Thank you very much x

Mr H,

Had the best get an away here and chose to stay in the glass cabin right near the wildlife (the donkeys were especially friendly). Waking up to the most beautiful scenic views is something me and my partner mostly enjoyed. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and your personal gestures.

Miss C,

The cottage was really cozy and welcoming. It was an added plus to see the donkeys and sheep. The baby donkey in particular made my holiday. The hot tube was in the perfect location, overlooking the mountains, it was a stunning view. There was plenty of activities therefore you didn't need to leave the site. I would highly recommend coming here!

Miss P,

Amazing place to stay which is very close to the sea and several lovely towns. Highly recommend!

Mrs S,

Amazing stay. The Dragon's Eye did not disappointment. It is just as beautiful in person as it was in the show. The sheep and the donkeys were a wonderful addition. Very very peaceful. Loved being able to cook outside. We have been happy here for more than 2 nights!

Ms M,

Loved the place so much was so much fun and amazing views with facilities so useful

Mr G,

Property was good, although outside needed some TLC, was looking a bit unloved

Mr P,

Really good location to explore. Comfortable bed and good facilities. A nice experience

Miss C,

The Dragon's eye was a perfect little getaway in a perfect location. Couldn't have wished for a better weekend away despite the bad weather.

Mr K,

Nice welcome hamper, not to far to the coast by car, very quiet area, was raining while here, but plenty to do near by, towns, walks, national trust & loads of places to eat out with good ratings. Coastal walk is good but be careful when it’s been raining. Footpaths around the farm as well. Ideal for dark skys if you want to do photography, also great views when clear. Jacuzzi was great & clean.

Mr H,

A perfect get away for switching off, will definitely rebook!

Miss S,

We really enjoyed our stay. My husband really enjoyed using the kayaks and boat and we loved the donkeys and hottub. Really cosy and the perfect mini honeymoon

Mrs D,

Quirky little home in a beautiful part of Wales. The property is a lot smaller than the photos suggest, with limited equipment. However the location is lovely, would be better in the summer months.

Mrs B,

I really loved how cosy the environment and lodge itself felt, to be honest the rotating bed feature was my favourite. Perfect way to see the sky in the morning or to get some privacy at night.

Mr S,

Great place to relax! Beautiful scenery. Perfect for getting away from everything Great place to relax! Beautiful scenery. Perfect for getting away from everything

Mr K,

Wow! My husband and myself had the best weekend at Dragons Eye. The location was so peaceful and just perfect. We enjoyed the boat, kayaks, the pizza oven, the hot tub, the games room. They all made for a fantastic relaxing stay. The bed is extremely comfortable and very well equipped and clean. Loved sitting on the deck playing cards through the evening with the fire pit on. Amazing views and we will really miss the friendly donkeys and geese on-site. Will absolutely be back for another stay

Previous Customer,

This property was incredible, a definite must. It was a peaceful get away with stunning views and lots to keep you occupied. We cannot wait to go back.

Miss C,

Dragon's Eye offers a truly unique and inspirational get-away for couples. From its beautiful lakeside setting on a family farm in West Wales, you can admire the stunning countryside views from the elevated patio, from your rotating circular bed or whilst lounging in front of the wood burner. You can also enjoy the communal facilities on site, including a hot tub, games room, dining area with a pizza oven and a separate unit with shower and toilet facilities, shared with 1 other cabin and 3 small pods. Dragon's Eye is closest to the lake.
