Tucked away in a peaceful valley just outside Llangollen, Meadow Lodge at Coed Y Glyn Log Cabins offers the perfect base for an energising white water SUP weekend. This beautifully crafted Scandinavian-style log cabin blends rustic charm with modern comfort, creating a warm and welcoming space to relax after a full day on the river. Surrounded fresh country air and based by the river, guests can unwind in the spacious open-plan living area, enjoy sociable evenings with the group, and soak up the calm of nature from the private outdoor deck and hot tub. With cosy bedrooms, well-equipped facilities, and that true “away from it all” feeling, Meadow Lodge provides the ideal balance of adventure and recovery.
