The Dragon's Eye, a striking curved cabin in West Wales, offers guests a rare off-grid experience with a rotating king-size bed and a private hot tub for stargazing. This award-winning property, featured on Cabins in the Wild, is located near Mydroilyn in rolling countryside. The solar-powered, eye-shaped structure blends bold contemporary design with natural tranquillity, framing uninterrupted views across the landscape.
Unique Features and Design
One of its standout features is the rotating king-size bed, allowing guests to wake up to countryside views before turning it away at night for a cosier feel. As part of its off-grid experience, there is no television or WiFi, encouraging visitors to fully embrace the peaceful surroundings and enjoy a digital detox. Outside, guests can soak in a private jacuzzi-style hot tub overlooking the lake, gather around the fire pit beneath star-filled skies, or use the shared pizza oven and gas barbecue for alfresco dining.
Guest Reviews and Feedback
Guests have praised the property highly. One visitor said: "Absolutely stunning place had a great time and will never forget it, could not recommend this place enough simply amazing location and cabin." Another noted: "Great little cosy hut in a beautiful location with a unique architecture. Inside is basic but has what you need. Having a hot tub under the stars is amazing and there's plenty of good walks/things to do or see in the area." A third guest wrote: "Fantastic place to stay! So picturesque and tranquil, great facilities and star gazing in the hot tub and the huge bed at night was just amazing, plenty of wood provided for the fire. Cant rate this place highly enough! Will be back in the future."
Practical Considerations
One downside is that the Dragon's Eye is not pet-friendly. For those seeking a dog-friendly option, Middle Tumble Cottage in Powys accepts two well-behaved dogs. The cabin is off-grid with no reception or WiFi, which one visitor loved but noted "some may struggle." Regardless, the property remains much-loved, with another holidaymaker saying: "The Dragon’s Eye is an amazing place to stay. The views from the room and hot tub were unreal especially during sunset. Going when we did (out of holiday season) it was quiet with no other guests so was very relaxing. An amazing find and it’s safe to say we’ll be returning."
