  • Luxury pods with private hot tubs; pubs and shops five minutes’ drive
Hot tubs an absolute must for your Welsh glamping holiday? They’ve got you covered at The Country Retreat Wales, five minutes’ drive from Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire. Accommodation here is in luxurious pods, all with far-reaching countryside views to the Llandeilo hills on the horizon, and all with – yes, you guessed it – their own hot tub tucked away on private decking. Each wooden pod is surprisingly spacious and nattily kitted-out with all the kitchen essentials, double beds, a comfy open-plan living area and well-designed ensuites with showers. Decor and design are to a high standard, with lots of cosy touches like pretty cushions, artworks on the walls and fresh flowers on arrival. The glampsite makes an ideal base for exploring the countryside of West Wales, and you will also be able to source anything you need supplies-wise at Llandeilo markets and grocery shops. If cooking is not on your holiday agenda, this lively market town on the River Towy has a whole raft of cafés, pubs and restaurants.

The Cennen 1 bedroom camping pod (four person)

Liked We had such an amazing stay, for our 1st glamping break away. Great location, facilities and friendly owners. The views are fantastic to wake up and even better in the hot tub x Family friendly with an adventurous 6 year old (who’s highlight was watching the wildlife, in the hot tub obviously)

Disliked Nothing all fab!

Erika S.

The Cothi 1 bedroom camping pod (four person)

Liked I had a wonderful stay at Cothi House Country Retreat in Wales. The location is peaceful and surrounded by beautiful countryside, perfect for a relaxing break. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and very well equipped with everything we needed. The hosts were welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. I especially enjoyed the quiet evenings, stunning views, and the sense of privacy. It’s also a great base for exploring the local area. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy countryside getaway and I look forward to visiting again.

The Cennen 1 bedroom camping pod (four person)

Liked Quiet, hot tub and the fact that there's only a few pods. With my son (who has autism) that was the most relaxing stay, I didn't have to run behind him to make sure he doesn't go inside someones tent or caravan. Few sheeps were walking by on the field, wish there was more 😄 we had some small issues which were resolved by our host. That was our best holiday ever 😃

Disliked Nothing to dislike, expect typical Welsh routes, I wasn't surprised. Maybe one little thing, Uber eats had nothing available to deliver, but this is not very important.

Local attractions

Guests may enjoy fishing for sea trout and salmon on the River Towy (five minutes’ drive), trekking through Carmarthenshire countryside on horseback (10 minutes) or playing a round of golf (20 minutes). There are also all sorts of walking and cycling options in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (40 minutes), and you can test your fitness levels on the mountain-biking trails in Brechfa or Abergorlech forests (both half an hour). Little beats the wonder of watching red kites coming in to eat at the Red Kite Feeding Station (25 minutes) – but seeing glorious, sandy Rhossili Bay (about an hour) for the first time comes a close second. Once there, you can hike sections of the dramatically scenic Wales Coast Path around the Gower Peninsula. Alternatively, combine a family ramble with a heritage lesson by climbing up to Carreg Cennen (25 minutes), an impressive 13th-century defence castle with spectacular views over the River Cennen. Also steeped in history is National Trust-owned Dinefwr Castle (10 minutes), where you can stroll around medieval ramparts and tour the ornate apartments in 18th-century Newton House.
