About this property
Boasting an elevated position above the treeline of Beddgelert Forest, a few miles from the foot of the majestic Snowdonia mountain range, is this delightful, Swedish-style cabin. Snowdon Vista Cabin’s key feature is the superb, commanding views it offers over Nant Colwyn and on a clear day, the Snowdon Mountain Railway train can be seen rising to the summit. This heart-warming retreat has been designed to offer family and friends alike the opportunity to spend time within a wonderful countryside setting, with a base housing all the essentials for a week-long holiday. Fulfilling your culinary needs is the well-equipped kitchen, where the designated cook of the group can prepare a home-cooked meal before gathering the family around the dining table, where countryside views can be enjoyed from every direction. After dinner, sink into the sofas which rest in front of the TV while the electric fireplace fills the room with warmth during those chilly winter months. As the evening draws to a close, drift off to sleep within one of the well-presented bedrooms, comprising of a double bedroom and a twin bedroom. During a sunny day, make the most of the patio area, where you and your loved ones can pour a refreshing drink to enjoy whilst soaking up the picturesque surroundings.

Patricia
Beautifully situated, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Sue went out of her way to make us feel welcome and there were several thoughtful touches such as a bottle of wine, Welsh cakes and treats for our dog. The cottage is well-equipped and well-maintained and our dog very much appreciated the secure 5 acre paddock. We loved it!

Very peaceful with just the sound of the little waterfall and the birds. The cabin had everything we needed and the hosts were very welcoming. We would definitely like to return!
