Tucked way in the rolling hills of Pembroke, Penbrokeshire, is the Minion-Inspired Hobbit Pod called The Willow. The Willow offers a [unique glamping experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/english-countryside-retreats) with its [two rounded roofs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burl-treehouse) for a magical retreat in a [lush forest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/into-the-woods-1).

Equipped with a master bedroom, cozy sleeping pods, a full-sized kitchen, and a private bathroom, the tiny cabin sleeps up to four people. Complete with an open-floor studio layout, featuring a full living area with a television and sofa, and dining area, The Willow's fairytale glamping experience is unmatched.

Its front-facing facade boasts two circular-shaped windows and unobstructed views of Pembroke’s countryside. Visitors can relax on the wooden deck by day, and soak in the hot tub by night to observe the star-filled sky.
