Lovely slate cabin with an amazing view over the valley and mountains - perfect for a quiet get away but also in easy reach of loads of attractions, characterful market towns and the seaside. Great hosts, and a fabulous welcome basket of goodies.

Fantastic little 'cave', fantastic location for getting out and about around Snowdonia or equally sitting out the front taking in the views.

The views alone for this place are breathtaking. The panoramic view from the king size bed is beautiful. There's a decent amount of wood to burn for a few night's and the log burner inside the cabin heats up all the place which is good. As cute as it is the down sides are that it is cramped in places especially the kitchen and bathroom. The showRead moreer is especially small so the floor does get wet easily. A wet room would have been good instead but they maybe couldn't have been able to do that. Be mindful that a sports car with low clearance would struggle getting up the lane as it does take a good 5 mins to reach the cabin parking from the main road. Lovely little place though, very pretty and tranquil Hide

Lovely location,very quiet & peaceful & wonderful views. Great base for a few days away. Very, very small accommodation. Especially the shower. If you are above 6 foot & not very thin, give this place a miss.
