The details
Tucked away in the undiscovered mountains of South Eryri (Snowdonia), these hand-built timber cabins offer a rare kind of escape. Here in the foothills of the Aran Fawddwy range, waterfalls tumble through wooded valleys, sheep graze on distant hillsides and the only soundtrack is birdsong, rustling leaves and the crackle of a log burner. This is Wales at its most peaceful and unspoilt – a hidden hideaway where you can truly switch off.
Set apart for privacy and wrapped in wild beauty, Nant Gwenyn and Nant Cafn are designed for romantic retreats and slow, restorative stays. Each cabin sleeps two guests and welcomes up to two dogs, making them perfect for couples who want to explore by day and soak under the stars by night.
Nant Gwenyn sits amongst the trees, its decking looking out towards a cascading waterfall. Inside, a cosy double bed is perfectly positioned so you can wake to the sight and sound of flowing water. After a day on the trails, light the log burner, pour a glass of wine and step outside to sink into your private wood-fired hot tub as the mountains darken around you. A compact kitchenette with hobs, microwave, air fryer and fridge makes self-catering easy, while a SMART TV and WiFi add modern comfort to this peaceful woodland retreat.
Nant Cafn offers its own enchanting twist. Here, a king size bed awaits in a mezzanine beneath a ceiling window, inviting you to lie back and watch the stars from under the covers. There’s a SMART projector for cosy movie nights, a log burner for chilly evenings and a wood-fired hot tub on the deck for long soaks in the fresh mountain air. The fenced outdoor space gives dogs room to relax while you cook on the gas BBQ or gather around the firepit.
Step beyond your cabin and you’ll find miles of tracks and trails weaving through the Mawddwy valley. Climb Aran Fawddwy for sweeping ridgeline views, seek out hidden waterfalls or enjoy gentler riverside rambles straight from your doorstep. With Dolgellau, Bala and Machynlleth a scenic drive away for independent shops, bakeries and welcoming pubs, you can balance wild adventure with hearty local fare before retreating once more to your secluded mountain sanctuary.

We stayed here for three nights with our two dogs and it was absolutely incredible. The hosts were lovely and thought of everything in the cabin and were always there if we needed anything. It’s based on a working farm and we even got to meet their beautiful dogs and calves and ask a million questions about farm life! I would absolutely book again and recommend to anybody, the views are gorgeous and the stars are so clear at night. It’s in the middle of nowhere which was perfect and all secure so the dogs can be left to wonder outside.
