Nestled in nature, on a working farm in Conwy, North Wales, Castor is the perfect shack to escape to for some much needed time out. Here, you'll wake up in solitude, with views of the sweeping countryside, sheep grazing quietly and the odd deer passing by. You're a stone's throw from the coast, with beautiful walks, spectacular castles, and waterfalls to explore. And just a 30 minute drive from Snowdonia, opening up a whole host of adventures. Back at your shack, light the fire, pick a favourite drink and toast to the most magical holiday.

From Castor there is a 10 min drive in to the small town of Abergele which has a lovely selection of traditional pubs and cosy cafes. If you prefer to walk it will take you around 50 minutes to get into the town, you'll be able to enjoy the fantastic Welsh countryside full of green hills and grazing sheep.
