Thank you for such a peaceful stay at your beautiful cabin. We had many meals looking out at the gorgeous estuary views and so appreciated that you accommodated our dietary requirements. Thank you!
We have very much enjoyed our stay here at Ebony Wood. Beautiful cabin and grounds, a place of peace and tranquillity. Escapism at its best! We loved the special extras - hamper and flowers. We used the house book to make the best of our visit. We especially loved The Jackdaw.
Thank you for such a beautiful cabin, so relaxing and just what we needed. Enjoyed visiting National Trust Bodnant Gardens, walks on Conwy Beach and Newborough Forest. Also the weather gods provided lots of sunny spells!

Ebony Wood has been simply magical. It is the perfect escape from the city and you feel like you are at one with nature.

Thank you for the lovely hamper, and more importantly for welcoming our cats and for their lovely hamper, so thoughtful. Hope to be back one day!
Just perfect- we loved it! The owners have thought of everything. Sleeping under the bedroom ceiling felt like stars and the view from the hot tub is spectacular! We will hopefully be back.
What an absolute treasure this place is. We had the most relaxing perfect week, fab for the dogs, a week of freedom. Pups say they are sorry for the barking, but it was just too exciting with the birds, squirrels and the train! The best UK break we have ever had, thank you.
Back again as intimated on previous visits! We absolutely love it here. The peace and tranquility completely recharge our batteries before returning to the hustle and bustle of working life! The weather, as it has been on our two previous visits, has been fabulous. We have been able to relax and utilise the facilities at the cabin as well as hiking at the National Park. I´m sure another visit is on the cards! Thank you for having us once again.

Ebony Wood
Conwy, Snowdonia, Wales, UK
Dark, mysterious and ever-so romantic, Ebony Wood on the edge of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park is an atmospheric couples’ self-catering woodland retreat surrounded by sweet scented pines and rustling hedgehogs snuffling through the earth.

Introduction
Oh, baby it’s a wild world, but within the confines of this luxury self-catering cabin all is quiet, all is still. Here in north Wales, all matter of busyness lifts away with the morning mist, swirling off between the trees and leaving nothing but blissful escapism. Designed with dreamers and nature-lovers in mind, rough stone and exposed wood combine with soft sheepskins and crushed velvet for a wholly organic experience inside, while a whirlpool hot tub and sauna provide a warming al fresco space deep within the pines, even within the depths of winter.
Inside
Layered with plush cushions and thick throws, the king-size bed is a tempting place to while away the days at Ebony Wood, however, with such illustrious landscapes right outside the front door, leave one must.

Conwy
Perched at the top of north Wales, this beautiful medieval market town has all the ingredients for an extra special staycation, from its romantic cliffside castle to old pubs, cosy tearooms and a vibrant river festival.

Getting there
- On the map On the fringes of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park in Conwy, North Wales, Ebony Wood sits within easy reach of Conwy town.
- By car Ebony Wood is approximately five and a half hour's drive from London.
- By train Llandudno Junction train station is two miles away, with direct routes to London.
- By air Liverpool airport is one and a half hour's away by car. Helicopters are welcome to land on the grounds of Ebony Wood with prior arrangement.

“The cabin has always been our woodland hideout, we turn off our phones, close the gate and forget the world for as long as we can. We love listening to the sea birds on the foreshore in the morning, watching the buzzards catching thermals in the afternoon and hoot to the owls at night.”
We believe that there has been a recreational building on this spot at the edge of the estate for 50 years or more. When we moved here in 2005 after spotting the property from across the river, we knew that the cabin would be a very special place.
Ebony Wood is surrounded by private woodland, some of which can be explored via the gate near the parking area. The water that you can see to the front is the tidal estuary of the River Conwy, with the sea behind to the north, it supports a huge variety of bird and animal life that changes with time and tide. The mountains in the distance are the foothills of Snowdonia, with Snowdon itself almost directly in front of us about 30 miles away.
In terms of wildlife, it’s not unusual to see buzzards, red kites, woodpeckers, curlews, ducks, geese, swans, bats, badgers, squirrels, foxes and rabbits, but our favourites are the owls, we'll never forget when we saw four babies lined up on a branch!
