Property code: OC-488065

Panoramic views over the Dyfi Valley towards the Snowdonia mountains, that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your bed, window seat or the elevated patio in front of a fire pit. Slate Cabin is one of eight award winning cabins which were the focus of the Channel 4 / Netflix documentary 'Cabins in the Wild'.

The perfect retreat to experience the silence and solitude of the Welsh landscape, Slate Cabin is designed to reinvigorate those who stay there. Inspired by the Welsh slate industry, the cabin fits effortlessly into its surroundings and embodies simplicity and style. Clever and compact design, with a pull-up table that’s perfect for two and a sumptuous king bed for rest and relaxation that elevates at the touch of a button.

Natural light bathes the space, and a pot-bellied, woodburning stove brings warmth and cosiness. At one end of the cabin, a long window in front of a seat and desk frames a panoramic view of the Welsh landscape. It’s the perfect spot to sit with a cup of tea and a book.

With Glyndwr's Way (one of only 3 National Trails in Wales) on your doorstep, it's also worth exploring your beautiful surroundings. The river Dyfi begins its journey on Aran Fawddwy (9 miles north), the highest peak in Wales and the British Isles south of Snowdon, flows through UNESCO Dyfi Biosphere, past Machynlleth (7 miles), the Ancient Capital of Wales and enters the sea at Aberdyfi (18 miles south-west). From mountain to coast, Slate Cabin offers plenty of variety and attractions. It is also within 1 mile of a village pub, shop and cafe in Cemaes.

A beautiful, cosy cabin with stunning views and welcoming hosts. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for some peace and quiet away from it all. The only downside is to get those views, it's a steep uphill walk back from the local pub but definitely worth it. We'll surely be back.

Wonderful cabin set in spectacular location, scenery is beautiful and the picture window perfectly frames it so always in view. The cabin is comfortable and well equipped, the host was friendly to communicate with and we'd happily stay here again.

Cabin Llechi is an absolutely amazing stay. Me and my partner stayed for 2 nights during a cold, windy and rainy November weekend and the cabin was amazing for this. The ability to light a wood burning fire to warm up the cabin was incredible and the cabin kept its heat very well. The views were breathtaking and it was nice to sit up and watch tRead morehe sheep whilst in bed. Its the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a little Oasis away from the busy world for some peace and quiet. It is close enough to some nice areas such as Aberdyfi for a walk in the hills and along the beach. The owner was very accommodating and even offered a later check out, due to the fact that home was having some horrendous weather. We were told we can stay as long as we want and travel back when its safe and we were able to do so. Hide

Beautiful little place to spend the weekend getting away from the hustle and bustle. Cabin was outfitted to a modern high standard. Slept surprisingly well despite the heatwave as the cabin temperature cooled down in the evening. Location is gorgeous. Directions were easy to follow. Would not hesitate to stay again or recommend to a friend

The cabin was clean, well equipped and we loved how well the space was used. The views were out of this world and was nice seeing the sheep every morning. Owners were attentive and checked everything was OK on arrival but gave us plenty of space. Local village a mile away but the pub was closed on a Monday and there wasn't much else there so anythiRead moreng worth seeing is a drive away. This didn't bother us but it would have been nice to get a drink within walking distance of the cabin. Wouldn't hesitate to book again. Hide
