Wildwood Quarry · North Wales

First through
the door.

Two peaceful Easter nights in the brand-new Sycamore Cabin — with the lovely surprise of being the first guests ever to stay there.

Our first cabin story

Two nights, and nowhere we needed to be.

We arrived at Wildwood Quarry on Easter Sunday and stayed through Bank Holiday Monday, heading home on the Tuesday. Sycamore Cabin was completely new — and Chris and Sarah had the honour of being the first people to stay in it.

The cabin was beautiful, comfortable and very well equipped. More than anything, the setting felt genuinely peaceful: trees around us, open countryside beyond and enough quiet to make two nights feel like a proper break.

From our camera roll

Cabin days and woodland air.

It was the mixture that made the stay: a cabin that felt ready for us, breakfast in the sunshine, a fire outside and a walk among the trees.

Our stay at a glance

What made Sycamore special.

01

A genuine first

We were Sycamore Cabin’s very first guests. It felt fresh, thoughtfully finished and already had everything we needed for a comfortable two-night stay.

02

Time outside

The outdoor hot tub and fire pit gave us even more reason to slow down and enjoy the setting rather than filling every hour with plans.

03

Even more to come

A sauna was under construction during our stay, with plans for it to be ready in the autumn and make the most of those incredible countryside views. Check with Wildwood Quarry for the latest details.
