If you’re looking for a holiday escape that is straight out of a fairytale, then check out the Ty Twt cabin in Conwy. This quiet part of North Wales is perfect for a few days of restorative, relaxing outdoor time, and Ty Twt has been beautifully crafted to welcome you into it. There’s a rocking chair on the veranda where you can sip coffee in the morning and star-gaze at night, a bench in your own private woodland overlooking the valley to the river below, an outdoor cooking area with BBQ and wood-fired pizza oven (pizza dough mix in your welcome hamper) and then, when the night draws in, the wood-burner to warm the cabin and add a rippling, homely glow.

If you sit quietly, you might spot deer and badgers, hear owls in the woods and see swallows swooping round the cabin, which they used to nest in until new windows were installed.

Drift Away

Withlonger days and warmer weather, it’s time to let your mind drift to summer escapes… and why not consider making drifting along the theme of your next holiday too? If you are looking to enjoy a relaxed break, sitting back to watch the world drift by, then a week or two on board a Cheshire Cat Narrowboat could be the perfect break for you.

This small family-run firm is based at the award-winning Overwater Marina, Audlem, on the Shropshire Union Canal. It is a stunning location, just below the Audlem Lock flight, and from the marina it’s only three hours’ leisurely cruising time to the scenic and ever popular Llangollen Canal.

The location and the pure charm of the cabin itself lend themselves to any kind of stay, from a wintry escape full of long naps and woodsmoke to a summer adventure into wild Snowdonia or a few days dangling your toes in the river. The cabin is so well suited to being really lived in, perfect for both a weekend getaway or a longer stay.
