Overview
Property code: OC-488061

The Dragon’s Eye wakes up once more, to a beautiful lake view in the heart of the West Wales countryside. Unwind in the jacuzzi style hot tub, relaxing back in the warm water to admire the view. 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, 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.

The dragons eye is an amazing place to stay. The views from the room and hot tub were unreal especially during sunset. The pod has everything you need to get by and more. The private hot tub was one of the main attractions and was prepared ready for when we arrived. Situated nicely in the middle of the countryside only 20mins from cardigan bay. GoiRead moreng when we did (out of holiday season) it was quiet with no other guests so was very relaxing. An amazing find and its safe to say well be returning! Hide

Great little cosy hut in a beautiful location with a unique architecture. Inside is basic but has what you need. Having a hot tub under the stars is amazing and there's plenty of good walks/things to do or see in the area.

Very cold and damp in cabin for a stay in December, log burner nice idea but would need to stay in to keep it going and keep the warmth. No hot water for a shower, no where to hang clothes and got covered in smoke from the fire. Certainly a quirky place but maybe better in the summer months

Had a amazing stay at the Dragon eye, the views were amazing and the stay was very relaxing with the warm welcome of a nice log heater to stay warm whist looking out at the stars. If you want to get away for a relaxing no Internet break then this is the place, no traffic noise and such beautiful views. The only thing tobe aware of is the private Read morehot tub is not included in the price and you have to pay per a day of want to use it. Worth the money as the shared hot tub is a short 2 min walk but in cold and wet dont think it be nice walk back. If this was closer to home then we would book again and again. Hide

A perfect place to escape to the country from the busyness of life. Even though the weather didn't play ball for us, sitting on the fabulous circular bed with the weather a few feet away, but being snug with the fire going, was unforgettable in its own way, especially with the added interest of the donkeys, sheep and ducks.

We had a lovely 3-night stay in the Dragons Eye cabin. Its a beautiful spot on a working farm with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break. The setting was peaceful and full of nature donkeys, sheep, birds, and amazing scenery all around. It really felt like a wildlife haven, perfect for switching off and unwinding. The cabRead morein was cosy and unique, with stunning views from the big round window. It had everything we needed, and although its a working farm (so you might spot a few cobwebs here and there), it was very clean and welcoming. The host, was amazing so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. He made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We left feeling recharged and would definitely love to come back. Highly recommend for anyone who loves nature and a peaceful escape. Hide

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!
