Brynrefail, Gwynedd, Wales
The Eye is a hand-built domed hut on a 120 acre working farm near Brynrefail in Gwynedd, with a large picture window facing the Snowdonia massif. The farm has cows, sheep, lambs, and chickens, and the building itself is an unusual shape that stands out from the standard shepherd's hut or pod format. A cylindrical shower with a glass roof provides open sky views while washing.
Lake Padarn is a ten minute walk, the village of Llanberis with its pubs, cafes, and shops is 2.5 miles away, and there is a good cafe in Brynrefail itself. At £101 a night with 136 reviews and 4.96, it is well priced for Snowdonia accommodation. The glass-roofed shower is the kind of detail that sounds gimmicky on paper but, facing the mountains at night, clearly works.
The glass-roofed cylindrical shower facing Snowdonia. Washing under open sky with mountain views is the sort of experience that stays in the memory long after checkout.
Many reviewers noted their superb, relaxing stays and highly recommend the experience.
