Staying in the heart of the forest

The Forest Lodges are located at Zip World Betws-y-Coed, on the edge of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, an area renowned for mountains, waterfalls, and dense woodland. The lodges are hidden among the trees and designed to blend into the landscape, allowing guests to immerse themselves in nature while still enjoying the comforts of a luxury stay. Unlike many countryside stays that are simply near nature, these lodges are in it. Surrounded by forest trails and mountain views (including the nearby Moel Siabod) - the setting offers a peaceful escape from busy towns and cities. 

A stay with a difference

One of the features that makes these lodges stand out is their design. They are built with reflective exteriors that mirror the surrounding trees, helping them blend almost invisibly into the woodland. 

Inside, the lodges combine a cosy cabin atmosphere with modern amenities. Guests can expect comfortable beds, a compact self-catering kitchen, Wi-Fi, and a spacious living area. Many lodges also feature private balconies where you can sit with a morning coffee or watch the sunset through the trees. Perhaps the most memorable feature is the outdoor relaxation space. Each lodge includes either a private hot tub or an outdoor bath, allowing guests to unwind under the forest canopy after a day exploring. 

Adventure on your doorstep

What truly sets the Forest Lodges apart from other woodland accommodation is their location within one of the UK’s most popular adventure destinations. Zip World Betws-y-Coed is home to activities such as the Fforest Coaster, Zip Safari treetop courses, and freefall experience Plummet, making it easy to combine relaxation with adrenaline-filled days out. 

This makes the lodges an ideal base for travellers who want variety in their trip. Peaceful woodland mornings followed by hiking, exploring, or high-energy adventure activities in the afternoon. 

A base for exploring North Wales

Beyond Zip World itself, the location is well placed for exploring the wider region. Guests are within easy reach of scenic walking routes, waterfalls like Swallow Falls, and iconic destinations such as Conwy and Llandudno. This combination of forest, mountains, and coastline nearby means visitors can experience many of North Wales’s highlights without travelling far.

Ideal for couples, families, and nature lovers

The lodges can accommodate up to two adults and three children, making them suitable for both couples and small families. All are dog-friendly, allowing guests to bring pets along for the trip. Whether it’s a quiet weekend retreat, a family adventure holiday, or a unique glamping experience, the lodges offer flexibility for different kinds of travellers.

• Secluded woodland surroundings
• Contemporary, nature-inspired design
• Private hot tubs or outdoor baths
• Immediate access to outdoor adventures
