3. Everyone these days knows what glamping is all about, but Safari Lodges at Pentre Mawr take it to another level. Imagine checking into your very own canvas hotel suite, complete with a private hot tub.
You can relax in your own sitting room with big sofa, whilst your Nespresso coffee machine is making you the perfect cup of coffee. Enjoy your hospitality area with all of the little things you’d expect.
Then wander out to your secluded terrace and hop into your private hot tub. Don’t worry they will have it hot and ready to go! The sound of our little mini Shetlands wandering around the lodges will make you imagine there are lions patrolling the area and an early call of the fox could be a hyena in the distance..
