Our cabins named No 1 in The Guardian travel section's list of Top 5 UK Log Cabins! Caban Cwtch is a scandinavian style woodland cabin in the heart of the beautiful West Wales countryside at Cenarth. Architect designed in 1973, and renovated with retro and designer furnishings, the cabin is a simple, fun place to stay.  It is nestled in the trees at Penlan woodland holiday village in Cenarth, a quiet, quality holiday village of privately-owned cabins carefully arranged into small 'cul de sacs' in the woodland. Cwtch is the largest of our three cabins and has a private rear balcony with the best views of the three cabins. Free use of communal heated outdoor pool in the summer.

'Cabanau Gorau Prydain 2007' yn ol y Guardian ! Dewch i ail fyw y 1970'au yng nghaban gwych cwtch! Mae'r caban wedi ei arddurno'n gyfan gydag pin, a them gryf Scandinafaidd i'w weld ym mhoban. Mae'n le perffaith i dreulio ychydig o ddiwrnodau yn ymlacio. Gallwch fwynhau defnyddio'r pwll cynnes tu fas (am ddim!) rhwng mis Mai a mis Gorffenaf, a'r sawna (tua £3). Mae drysau patio yn y lolfa sydd yn dilyn allan i man eistedd gyda golygfeydd preifat. Yn ogystal, mae sofa lledr, bwrdd bwyta a than cyfoes pebl. Mae Cenarth yn dref hardd, dim ond saith filltir i mewn o fae Aberteifi (gydag traethau a siawns i chi weld dolffiniaid).

The cabin is insulated and entirely lined in pine, has wall heaters in every room, is partly-double glazed (thermally efficient units), and comprises of:

Decking/Patio: Decking area with seating and table. Note there are cute squirrels who try and sneak into the cabin when you aren't looking! Views. You aren't overlooked on this covered veranda.

Lounge: Leather sofa for two/three, further designer armchairs, pebble fire, views out over the fields, and a TV and DVD player. CD stereo.

Dining Room with further designer pieces and artworks we have made for the cabin.

Kitchen: The compact galley kitchen is adequate for holiday use and there are plenty of options to eat out locally if you wish.

The fridge and cooker are full size. A few nice retro touches like the 'bullet' bin and groovy tableware.

Laundry facilities available on site as well as iron etc (small surcharge but surprisingly reasonable).

Master Bedroom: Small but so cosy! Pine clad walls and a double bed you won't want to get out of. All bedlinen in the cabin is 100% cotton. Lovely views over open fields. Steam iron.

Note there is little room for a travel cot in the double bedroom, but you would fit a small moses basket in, or put a travel cot in the bunk room (within earshot).

Bunk bedroom: Bunk room that isn't large but kids seem to love all the same.

Toilet & Shower Room: Smallish room that does exactly what it says on the tin. It has one of those heaters that blasts you with hot air when you get out of the shower.
