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.

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

What a beautiful surprise to walk into, our first view of a place so beautifully lit in the middle of amazing countryside. As it was quite dark when we arrived the views upon walking up were just spectacular. Llion was so helpful during our stay and Manon, "thank you" for the surprise with the delicious cake. Thank you, we had an excellent stay
