Acorn Leisure is delighted to preview Solhare Lodge — a new luxury YourRetreats Kos creation, arriving this November, at Maes Mynan Park in North Wales. South-facing and filled with natural light, Solhare Lodge combines Scandinavian ‘Kos’ with Welsh tranquillity — a unique sanctuary where wellbeing and nature come together.
At Maes Mynan Park, the landscape itself tells stories. Mystique and history intertwine to create a special, magical place — perfect for a holiday downtime retreat.
Rolling hills, woodlands and big skies, create a natural amphitheatre where myths still seem to stir. It’s here, amongst the wildflowers and shimmering lakes, that hares have made their home — a family of them, darting and leaping at dawn and dusk, embodying a timeless sense of freedom – hence the name of our new luxury YourRetreats Kos Lodge.
Across cultures, hares have long been seen as mystical creatures. In Welsh tradition, they are linked to St Melangell, the patron saint of hares, who offered them sanctuary from the hunt. In Norse and European folklore, hares were thought of as moon-creatures, messengers between worlds, symbols of fertility, intuition, and transformation. The ancient Three Hares Motif, still fascinates with its mysterious, interwoven symmetry. Although rare in this part of the world — Solhare Lodge allows us to bring our version of this symbol to Maes Mynan.
For the Norwegians, whose word ‘Kos’ describes a life philosophy of warmth, contentment and shared joy, the hare also resonates as a creature of liminal light — most active at dawn and dusk, in those in-between moments when magic feels close.
It is at this intersection of Welsh myth, Norse tradition and Scandinavian lifestyle that Solhare Lodge has been born.
Why “Solhare” Lodge for the YourRetreats Kos?
In Norwegian, Sol means sun (as it does in Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, Danish & Swedish) — and with Maes Mynan Park facing due south, sunlight streams across the hills and lakes throughout the day. To pair this with the hare family already resident and thriving on the Park, felt natural. Solhare Lodge from YourRetreats literally becomes the “Sun-Hare Lodge” — a symbol of vitality, warmth, and renewal.
This name isn’t just poetic; it’s perfectly practical. For those seeking a holiday home that uplifts, restores, and inspires, Solhare Lodge is designed as a sunlit retreat — where natural light floods interiors through bi-fold front elevation doors, whilst hares outside mirror the energy and joy within and where the Scandinavian sense of ‘kos’ shapes every design detail indoors.
YourRetreats captures the Spirit of ‘Kos’
At its heart, ‘kos’ is about slowing down and savouring life. It’s the glow of candles against wood, the comfort of soft textures, the gathering of friends around a table, the simple joy of gazing out over nature.
YourRetreats, the lodge’s designer and manufacturer, has taken this philosophy and crafted it into every aspect of our Solhare Lodge. Scandinavian styling, natural finishes, open-plan light-filled spaces, and thoughtful detailing, bring together the best of modern lodge living with the timeless wellbeing values of ‘kos‘.
The result? A YourRetreat Solhare Kos Lodge that is more than a holiday home — it is a wellbeing investment.
Investing in Your Wellbeing
Owning a holiday lodge isn’t only about having a bolt-hole; it’s about what that retreat brings into your life. Time away from screens. Connection with nature. Morning walks where hares bound across the fields. Sunsets with a glass in hand, soft light spilling across your deck.
At Maes Mynan Park, these aren’t occasional luxuries; they’re part of everyday lodge ownership. Choosing Solhare Lodge means choosing:
-
Light and space — with south-facing views across one of North Wales’ most beautiful hidden valleys.
-
Nature and wildlife — where hares, birds and wildflowers remind you daily of life’s rhythms.
-
Health and happiness — a sanctuary for mind, body, and spirit, shaped by both Scandi ‘Kos’ and Welsh calm.
It’s a decision to place wellbeing at the centre of your lifestyle with YourRetreats Kos luxury.
Why Maes Mynan Park in North Wales?
Set in the heart of North Wales’ Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape (AONB), Maes Mynan Park is more than a setting; it’s a community built on nature, peace, history and discovery.
From here, you can wander Offa’s Dyke paths, explore market towns, or simply stay put and let the landscape work its quiet magic. The Park’s design emphasises space, greenery and a feeling of sanctuary — it’s not about rows of holiday homes, but about retreats in tune with their surroundings.
When you combine the soulful location with the vision of YourRetreats Kos, you get Solhare Lodge: a perfect fusion of place and philosophy.
