Welsh hobbit house named best place to stay in UK & Ireland

If you've ever wanted to spend the night in your own hobbit house, a glamping spot in North Wales may be the perfect choice for you - and it's just won the best holiday let in the UK and Ireland. Nant y Garnedd is a single-storey hut near Mallwyd in North Wales and set within a grassy hill surrounded by picturesque woodland.

Set up by local farmers turned holiday accommodation owners, Dylan, 36, and Gwion Jones, 26, and their partners Mared Jones, 34, and Catrin Owen, 26, Nant y Garnedd beat out huge competition to be crowned the winners in Sykes Holiday Cottages’ nationwide search. The competition has seen them win a £10,000 cash prize.

Despite only opening to guests earlier this year, they also won the best glamping category, as well as the best overall holiday let. The hobbit-style holiday let offers beautiful views over the southern mountains of Snowdonia - which can even be viewed from a hot tub in the garden. The cosy one-bedroom hut is able to sleep four people, where you can wake up to the gorgeous views over the mountains from the king-sized bed.
