The place

Hazel cabin, like her sisters, Willow, Rowan and Holly, is found on the Cynefin Retreat Estate, three miles outside of Hay-on-Wye. Designed as a model for eco-living, Hazel cabin has something to do at all times of the day, and all times of the year. You might decide you and your canine companion have earned some downtime, and lie in until the morning light streams through the floor to ceiling windows. Then cook a late breakfast in the fresh midday air and serve on the patio, dog looking hopeful by your knees. End your day melting by the log burner in a pile of pleasant exhaustion with your dog.
