About this property
Nestled in the Welsh countryside is the quaint village of Llanarth, which is home to the beautiful glamping pod, Rusty Boathouse. This single-storey pod sleeps up to two guests and is perched lakeside with private decking and a jetty, ideal for a romantic retreat set in the luscious landscape of Mid Wales. Parking up at the designated area, take a short walk up to the lakeside-pod and enter in through the glass doors, lining the front of the pod, displaying undisrupted panoramic views. Snuggle up on the large oil-slick coloured sofa before enjoying an intimate dinner together outside in the sunshine, after preparing it in the kitchen equipped with everything for your culinary needs. Toast your relationship and romantic retreat with a glass of fizz, while planning the adventure that awaits you in the Welsh countryside and coast. After dinner, climb into the private hot tub; soak, relax and appreciate the stillness that the farm affords, while admiring the purple sunset in the background. When sleep calls, retire to the spacious king-size bed and flick on the Smart TV, catch up with your favourite shows or fall asleep to the sound of a film playing in the background. The Rusty Boathouse is the perfect location for a romantic holiday set in Ceredigion. Note: This property can be booked with Ref: 1051293 and 1143630, together sleeping up to 6 guests.

Some of the most beautiful and accessible beaches, fishing lakes, and the historic harbour town of Aberaeron are all within a short scenic drive.

Beautiful pod and the lake was amazing. Watching the bats at night from the tub was especially wonderful. Would definitely recommend this place.

Would 100% recommend to anyone and already looking at when we could return. The boathouse was modern, clean and had the most incredible views and facilities. Everything was easy to use and the owners were on hand for any questions or requests we had.
