Ascella

Llanwrst, North Wales

Sleeps

| Beds

| Pet Friendly | Outdoor Bath

Ascella is a hidden hideaway on a working farm near Llanrwst, where rolling hills give way to the dramatic peaks of Eryri/Snowdonia. Tucked far from the world, this Shack offers complete privacy - just you, wide-open skies, and endless views.

It’s a place made for slow mornings and long, lingering evenings. Sink into the sunken bath as the landscape stretches out before you, watch the light shift across the mountains, and lose track of time with your favourite person, and dog by your side.

When adventure calls, explore winding woodland paths, chase waterfalls at Swallow Falls, or wander into Betws-y-Coed for cosy pubs and local treats. Then return to Ascella, where starlit nights and quiet moments are yours alone.

Please note: While we wait for our official images, we’ve used a few stock photos to give you a sense of the shack’s interior. Ascella will share a very similar look, feel, and design.

Stay local

In under ten minutes by car—or a scenic walk if you’re feeling adventurous—you’ll reach Betws-y-Coed, where you’ll find plenty of cosy pubs and restaurants. Treat yourself to hearty Welsh dishes at the Royal Oak, grab a table at Olif for local flavours with a modern twist, or stock up on fresh produce and artisan treats at the village’s delis if you’d rather cook and dine with a view back at the cabin.

Beyond food and drink, Betws-y-Coed is a gateway to adventure. You can follow woodland trails to the Swallow Falls waterfall, paddle in the River Conwy, or cycle the winding mountain lanes. Thrill-seekers can try zip-lining, canyoning, or mountain biking at nearby adventure hubs, while hikers are spoilt for choice with countless trails leading into Snowdonia National Park. For something slower, explore craft shops, art galleries, and historic bridges in the village, or take a steam train ride from Llanrwst to soak in the scenery at a gentler pace.
