You’ll find Melin Mabes in the soothing midst of rural Pembrokeshire in Wales, on the site of a 16th Century Welsh watermill covering four acres of land.
Here, three unique havens await exploration, including the extraordinary Spodnic UFO – and it will be easy to imagine you’re charting your course amongst the stars in this luxurious and immaculate pod packed with cutting-edge features.
Inside you’ll find a telescope ideal for moon-gazing in the clear, unpolluted sky. Of course, you can also head up to the perspex roof that masquerades as a cockpit!
