Hide Wales Cabans

  The Detail...

Hidden away in its own arboretum, looking out towards the South Wales coast, you will find Hide. Around 25 minutes from Cardiff, this pretty setting is the home of the Hide Cabans – a trio of cosy, handmade cabins with both sea views and a touch of serenity.

Each spacious Caban has its own terrace with a barbecue and fire pit for a little camp-style dining. You will be warmed up inside too, with a wood-burner heating the whole place – and a lovely hot water shower in the bathroom, situated steps away in a shepherd’s hut.

The furnishings fit perfectly with the feel of the place. You have a double bed dressed with duvet and warm woollen blankets, and a kitchenette takes care of your cooking needs with a mini-oven and hob, and a fridge freezer. All the cabans are hooked up with electricity and, should you want to, you can connect to free Wi-Fi in the Hide pavilion.

It’s there that you can also enjoy breakfast, with croissants, granola, yoghurt and the like available to order each morning. The pavilion space is also available some evenings for guests to relax, offering a cosy lounge area.

The remote location is all part of the beauty of Hide, but you won’t have to drive too far to find some recommended restaurants and bars. The heritage coast of South Wales is a rewarding area to visit, perfect for peaceful, contemplative walks along the rugged cliffs.

The Vale of Glamorgan, of which the hamlet of St Donats is a part, is full of history too. The pretty village of Llantwit Major is nearby, a settlement dating back over 1500 years. At certain times, St Donat’s Castle opens its doors to the public, and a one-of-a-kind arts centre can be found in the grounds, with regular performances in its inspiring ‘glass room’.

Other local attractions include the beaches of Porthcawl and the beautiful Bryngarw Country Park in Bridgend. It won’t take long to reach the city life of Cardiff – the National Museum, Millennium Centre, Cardiff Bay and much more could see you going back for a second visit.

Whatever you choose to do in South Wales, the wonderful Hide Cabans will be an undoubted highlight of your stay.
