  • Beautiful panoramic views of south Snowdonia mountains
  • Idyllic hideaway for a peaceful getaway in stunning Mid Wales
  • As seen on Channel 4/Netflix documentary Cabins in the Wild
Property code: OC-O28315

This property is inspired by the legend of King Arthur, who is said to have taken refuge in a cave with his knights while traveling and could never find it again. Glyndwr's Way (one of only three national trails in Wales) can be joined from your doorstep, and offers a scenic, circular walk that incorporates the shop, cafe and pub in the nearby village of Cemaes (1 mile). The market town of Machynlleth (7.5 miles), the ancient capital of Wales, offers independent shops and cafes, as well as historic buildings that provide a glimpse into the past. It is a gateway to the stunning landscapes of Snowdonia National Park, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.

Having featured as one of eight award-winning cabins on the Channel 4/Netflix documentary 'Cabins in the Wild', and stylishly blending in with its natural surroundings, the charm and attraction of the property is immediately evident. Two inviting chairs and a wood burner in the living space provide an idyllic setting to enjoy the ever-changing panoramic views through the large windows, perfect for cosy nights in with a glass of wine and a good book, or a film or two. Through to the bedroom, another large window frames the views from the sumptuous king-size bed. Why not treat yourself to breakfast in bed as the warm, golden sunlight begins to fill the room and nature slowly awakens outside? The kitchen is well equipped to cook up a storm. The en-suite includes a rainfall shower, wash basin and toilet.

Step outside onto the elevated patio where you can admire the night sky as you sip your hot chocolate by the fire pit. This rural haven promises a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the simplicity and beauty of the area's rural charm.

Excellent and comfortable property in a truly stunning location. My partner and I had an amazing 4 day break. I'd thoroughly recommend Manon's cupcakes too! Kitchen is very small and basic, so take care when planning meals.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. Manon was very responsive. The directions to get to the cabin were very helpful. The cabin is so well furnished and the view on the mountains is incredible, it is so peaceful and quiet. We had a welcome basket which was very nice also.

Arthur's Cave is a wonderful hideaway. The peace, clean air and view towards Snowdonia are awesome and there are fantastic walks from the doorstep. The cabin was spotlessly clean with all the facilities we needed. The interior is beautiful and well thought through, but beware, the shower is small and would be a squeeze for someone bigger than averRead moreage. The single lane road up to the farm is very quiet. The track to the cabin was not ideal for our low-slung saloon car but no damage was sustained. All-in-all a superb short break. Hide

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.

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
