2 Glamping
Luxury, en-suite glamping with a hot tub on the Llŷn Peninsula with stunning views

If nature was a beauty contest, the Llŷn Peninsula might just win best all-rounder. For ‘Snowdonia’s arm’ exhibits the best of Wales’ many wonders – lush green hillsides, hidden coves and sandy beaches peppered with timeless seaside settlements, all bookended by the bluest of seas and dramatic mountain peaks. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the peninsula’s proximity to Snowdonia National Park means visitors can be scaling the mountains in the morning before enjoying a lazy afternoon on the beach, all in the same day. Needless to say, this peerless position means the views from pretty much anywhere are simply breathtaking. Case in point – the panoramas you can enjoy from this glamping getaway near Pwllheli. 

A hideaway in name and nature, Tan-y-Capel Hideaway lies on a secluded three acre spot in the tiny hamlet of Ceidio. For any couples seeking a romantic retreat in one of the country’s most stunning settings, this is the place. Comprising just two hi-spec glamping units – a modern pod and a beautiful shepherd's hut – situated in a tranquil garden, glampers here enjoy a slice of Wales to themselves. Each cosy abode features a proper double bed, an en-suite bathroom and a neat little kitchenette featuring most mod-cons. For a particularly indulgent escape, both the pod and shepherds hut also have their own private hot tub set within their garden, both with views across countryside, mountains and out to sea. Thanks to the Llŷn Peninsula’s curious micro-climate – making it one of Wales’ sunniest regions – you’ll certainly get your money’s worth out on the shingle terrace.

There’s an abundance of things to see and do in the vicinity. The Llŷn’s stretch of the 870-mile Wales Coast Path is amongst the most stunning and is eminently accessible from the site. Be sure to make it to picturesque Porthdinllaen beach, home to the famous Ty Coch Inn, a legendary beachside boozer that regularly features amongst the world’s best in the travel polls. A pint and a paddle on a hot summer’s day – what more could you ask for?

Hideaway Pod
We stayed at Rebeccas and Daves hideaway pod to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. Liaised with Rebecca and Dave pre arrival and was great in providing all relevant information. Upon arrival we was surprised with balloons and banners and a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate my girlfriend, Ellies birthday which was a lovely and thoughtful surprise. We was given a map and Dave explained and shown locations he recommended around the area, further recommending a taxi company to get in touch with. Rebecca and Dave took there time to show us the facilities they had to offer and there uses for example how to use the hot tub and the barbecue and the facilities in the pod. We were made to feel very welcome and the pod was beautiful. So well equipped we definitely overpacked and was overwhelmed by everything inside shampoo bottles and condition, body washes, towels, robes, blankets, a hot water bottle, milk, games, books, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and all other furnishings (too many too list) we was also welcomed with baked cookies which were delicious and a flower on the side. Every little detail has been considered in terms of the pod and it was perfect. A lovely couple and we also enjoyed the company of Rebecca and Daves little black cat haha. Thank you for the best time. We’ve only been home a week and we miss it already, waking up inside the cosy pod to the most beautiful views. Will definitely return. Thank you so much. We are forever grateful for your hospitalities.

Cabin with kids
A fantastic experience. Travelled here with my 2 young boys who had a brilliant time. Dave and Rebecca were amazing hosts. Friendly, knowledgeable about the area which is useful and just really welcoming. We had homemade baked cookies waiting for us along with a bottle of procescco. The cabin itself is brilliant. Has everything you need plus a hot tub. It's big enough for a small family and plenty to keep the children entertained. It would also be absolutely perfect for a romantic getaway. Great location between Nefyn and Abersoch, both beautiful places with breathtaking beaches. We will definitely return. We had a wonderful time.

We enjoyed our stay at the Shepherd Hut very much. It was set in its’ own secluded peaceful meadow. On arriving we were met by the lovely owners Rebecca and Dave. Who showed us to the Hut ensuring we knew where everything was, and that we were happy. The inside of the hut was very clean and tidy ,with all the facilities we needed. If you want to stay somewhere that was quiet ,and you were in you own space, then we would recommend it. With the added bonus that you were staying in the middle of the beautiful Welsh countryside ,with the coastline only 10 miles away.

Myself & 2 friends had an amazing time staying at Rebecca & David’s Hideaway Pod. The pod was clean, modern and spacious, loved the extra touches homemade cookies, Prosecco, tea, coffee, milk & lots more. The views were absolutely stunning, especially watching the sunset in the evenings, it was so peaceful. Rebecca & David couldn’t do enough for us and were perfect hosts.

We stayed at the shepherds hut and had the most amazing time for my birthday. The location is just perfect, so peaceful and private and with a hot tub which was great watching the sunset and stars and made you feel so relaxed. The hut was super clean, with a really comfy double bed and had everything you need. The hosts were so lovely and kind with little touches such as a bottle of Prosecco and freshly baked cookies on arrival. We’ve had the most perfect weekend and will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend to anyone! Thank you again for a wonderful stay :)

The hosts were amazing, we really felt their intent to make us feel like we are on a holiday. The location is really good, such that getting to nearby spots to visit is easy and quick. The huts are secluded so you will definitely feel like you are all alone in the peaceful fields of Wales. If sky is not cloudy, you can see the Milky Way at night. That's it, won't give anything else away, go and experience it for yourselves. Highly recommended!

We took a short stay for the weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday. We stayed in the pod. It was wonderful. Despite the weather being a bit stormy, to be expected at the beginning of October, the views were spectacular both from Tan-y-Capel and in the surrounding country. We visited Nefyn, Morfa Nefyn (walked to the Ty-Coch Inn for a drink in the afternoon sun,) Abersoch (walked up to the Tin Man and the peak above it, Llanbedrog, for a view to Snowdon.) Wonderful. The pod was very cozy and comfortable, just perfect for 2 nights. We had romantic sunset apéritifs in the hot tub on the terrace and lovely food in the nearby pubs, cafés and restaurant. Dave, our host, hit exactly the right balance between being there for anything we needed and letting us have our privacy to enjoy the pod. I highly recommend Tan-y-Capel and I think we'll be back next year.

Stayed in the lovely Shepherds Hut for a few nights and had a wonderful break. Great food recommendations and advice off the hosts. Top tip is to take a cool box for wine etc - whilst perfectly formed the kitchen is small and it’s hard to get much in the mini fridge.

This was our first time Glamping and we were not disappointed. The location was idyllic and so peaceful, with far reaching views of the countryside and sea. The Shepherd's Hut was perfect, with everything you needed for a chillax holiday, and the hot tub was wonderful. The owners, Dave and Rebecca made us feel very welcome and gave us lots of information on the area and what it had to offer. We will definitely return.

My Mum and I were looking for a picturesque spot for a few days of walking and relaxation. The glamping pod at Tan-y-Capel Hideaway was perfect. Our hosts were absolutely delightful and made us feel really welcome. There were home-made cookies (delicious) and a bottle of chilled prosecco on our arrival which was such a thoughtful touch. We really had a five star stay, perfect.

I knew it would be wonderful, but I didn't realise how blown away I'd be! Right down to every little detail! My friend and I had the best break and I am already deciding what dates to return. Peaceful, friendly and a beautiful setting. Plenty nearby, walks, running, food, great atmosphere locally too! Can't thank you enough. We will be back

A real treat. A peaceful and serene setting, in a delightful wild flower garden. The shepherd 's hut has the luxury and all facilities one would need for a week earned break. Enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a long day's walk, watching the sun set and starts. Close to Morfa Nefyn and central for those waking the coastal path.

I cannot put into words how amazing this place is. From the owners to the decor! The shepards hut was just what we needed with everything going on it was great to escape life and get away! It was just the right size, clean and beautiful. The owners insured we had everything we needed and we loved the little extras like processco and freshly baked cookies. It was so private and peaceful :) You would be silly not to come here.. We cannot wait to return x

The hosts were very welcoming and had thought of everything, the hotub was pre warmed, Prosecco on chill, milk in the fridge and even a map provided of the local area and key places to go and visit marked on it. Highly recommended and we will definitely be visiting again in the future!

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at the Hideaway pod. From the moment we arrived, Rebecca and Dave made us feel very welcome. Our one year old was very excited to meet the chickens and the pet dogs Molly and Rosie. The Hideaway pod was incredibly clean and beautifully presented. We enjoyed the welcome touches such as prosecco in the fridge, cookies, tea, coffee and milk. We made great use of the hottub and BBQ after we put our son to bed. We also managed to fit our travel cot in, which was great. It's a great base to explore the surrounding areas such as Abersoch, Criccieth etc. A visit to the Ty Coch Inn is a must. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

We recently stayed in the Shepherds Hut at Tan-Y-Capel Hideaway and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Dave led us to the hut (offering us a wheelbarrow to ferry our belongings) and showed us to a beautifully secluded hut in what can only be described as a small wildflower meadow. Inside the hut, there were so many lovely little touches such as Prosecco, homemade cookies, robes (obviously the hot tub!) and even things such as milk and toothpaste just in case we forgot. Dave was really informative and told us all about the local area, highlighting the best places to visit and eat. He and Rebecca were such wonderful hosts (and their lovely little pooches) and we will definitely be back!
From the host
Tan-y-Capel Hideaway is located on the gorgeous Llyn peninsula an area recognised for its outstanding natural beauty combining fabulous sandy beaches with dramatic hills and mountains. We have 2 units, our beautiful shepherds hut, set in its own flower meadow and our cosy pod with its own deck and private garden both enjoy spectacular views over rolling countryside and out to sea. The hideaway pod and hut both have wonderfully comfortable beds with cotton fresh bedding, throws, cushions and pillows. There is a shower room with luxury toiletries and soft fluffy towels both have self contained kitchenettes with bbq outside for additional cooking. The hideaway pod and hut both have double doors that open out onto either a generous private decked area or garden where their hot tub sits, just such a wonderful addition to our already stunning pod and hut, so whatever the weather or outside temperature you can sit amongst warm relaxing bubbles with a glass of prosecco admiring the stunning view and watching the simply fabulous sunsets and at night time gazing up at a night sky that contains more stars than you can ever imagine. Once finished in the hot tub there are fluffy towelling robes and slippers along with throws and fleeces to keep you cosy and warm. There is a welcome pack on your arrival that includes tea coffee milk and sugar.We are keen to welcome are guests and ensure our guests have a wonderful stay so any questions or information re things to do and places to visit of which there are plenty please don't hesitate come and have a chat.
Nearby attractions

The Llŷn Peninsula is one of Wales’ most captivating coastal regions. Explore its many stunning beaches like Porth Nefyn (2 miles away) or Porthdinllaen (3 miles) home to one of the world’s best beach bars. For surfing (of the board, kite and wind variety) Porth Neigwl is excellent or you could spend a day at chic Abersoch, the sailing capital of Wales. There are several more hidden spots along the coast that are only accessible via the Wales Coast Path – just ask your hosts for the best walking or cycling routes. Further afield, Caernarfon and Criccieth are well worth a visit, not least for their castles and stunning views (the former’s overlooking Anglesey). The extraordinary Italianate village of Portmeirion (as seen on 60s cult classic TV series The Prisoner) is another essential stop. And with golf is your thing, Nefyn & District Golf Club (01758 720966) is less than 10 mins drive away.

Food and drink

Pwllheli and its environs boasts plenty of pub and places to eat. Y Bryncynan (01758 720879) is less than 2 miles away at Morfa Nefyn. They serve real ales and wholesome pub grub from breakfast through to evening meals. The Ship Inn (01758 720559) at Edern serves exquisite dishes such as Welsh beef wellington and pan fried hake. Be sure to book ahead for Sunday lunch. The Cliffs Inn (01758 720356), also at Morfa Nefyn, is a great spot for lunch with a spacious sun terrace overlooking the sea. But for views, the pick of the pubs has to be Ty Coch Inn (01758 720498). Regularly voted one of the world’s best beach bars, the beer garden here is the golden sands of Porthdinllaen beach. Other worthy dining options include The potted Lobster (01758 431432) and Tremfam Hall (01758 740169) which both come highly recommended by your hosts.
