Frith Meadow- The Carn

Sleeps 4- One Kingsize Bed, one double Babies and children welcome No dogs

After waking up, jump in the outdoor bath or enjoy an invigorating shower while admiring the rolling views – a truly unique way to start the day. The cabin is positioned at the end of a winding track, half a mile from any other building, yet a short walk will take you to Presteigne. The small town is a food-lovers’ paradise with local delis, lively independent shops and farmers markets brimming with fresh produce. Bring all your goodies back to cook outdoors, perhaps with a bottle of organic wine. The cabin is thoughtfully constructed out of materials less likely to cause damage to the environment: salvaged and sustainably sourced timber from a friend’s sawmill, wool and recycled-newspaper insulation and eco-friendly paints. You’ll float seamlessly from inside to out, whatever the weather is doing – the covered outdoor deck houses a great kitchen with loads of gear for firepit cooking – and on cooler days the underfloor heating, radiators and wood-burning stove will keep you ultra-cosy.

Spot deer, rabbits, roaming red kites and a family of Goshawks if you’re lucky right from the comfort of the swinging chair. You’ll wander through the meadow visit Daphne’s in town for great pizza and ice cream, swim in the river Lugg then sup a pint of local ale from one of the many good pubs nearby, including the Royal George at Lingen.
