“A warm, cosy cabin with amazing views of Snowdon and the surrounding mountains.”

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!

- Bronwen, September 2024
Patricia September 2024

“Snowdon Vista Cabin did not disappoint!”

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!

“Excellent .”

Perfect place to go for complete rest . Access is quite a challenge unless fit but is well worth it . Views are spectacular. Would certainly recommend.

“Beautiful location, the views were spectacular!”

Sue and Garry were really friendly and welcoming. The cabin was nice and cosy too and we would love to stay here again in future.

“A fabulous place in a fantastically tranquil location.”

If you are looking to get off the grid and either relax or do some walking, I would definitely recommend the Snowdon Vista Cabin. It even has its own waterfall! It is located a couple of miles outside of Beddgelert which has everything you need in a lovely little village, including a couple of nice pubs.

- Simon, December 2023
Delphine December 2023

“Our second visit and very happy to be back in such a remote and special place.”

Whatever the weather (not the best this time) the cabin is a wonderful winter bolt hole and base to return to. Warm, cosy and comfortable it would be hard to better this little holiday retreat. Thanks Sue and Gary for being the perfect hosts.

- Delphine, December 2023
Lucy October 2023

“Lovely cabin in a beautiful location.”

Sue and Garry could not have been more welcoming - providing helpful advice about the locality and practical tips for the cabin. The cabin is cosy and well maintained with all the practical things you need for a week away.

- Lucy, October 2023
Rachel October 2023

“We had an excellent stay.”

Completely fell in love with the village, beautiful views and lots of places to eat drink and browse. Great location for the activities we had booked but also lots of amazing walks with the kids during the times when we didn’t have anything booked. Sue and Gary were great, very helpful and friendly and everything was seamless. The cabin was spotless very clean and we had everything we needed. New shower and everything is the kitchen very clean and I am normally fussy. The cabin is perfect for what we needed it for. We definitely hope to be back and a big thanks to sue and Gary for such a wonderful stay.

- Rachel, October 2023

“Lovely cabin and friendly hosts.”

David September 2023

“The welcome exceeded expectations as did the location/view.”

We would thoroughly recommend this property, it was fully equipped, every possible need catered for. It was obvious the owners had put a lot of thought into furnishings and equipment.

Vanessa August 2023

“Cabin has the most stunning views, a wonderful escape to reset and relax, highly recommend.”

Was exceptionally clean and good facilities.

Jackie August 2023

“One of THE most outstanding holiday locations and accommodation we have used.”

Thanks to Sue and Garry, both of whom have great local knowledge, all of our needs were fully met including a welcome gift of local cakes, wine, tea, coffee, sugar, milk - even treats for our dog. Very clean cabin, all appliances fully working- availability of washer, tumble dryer, even dog drying towels! We chose to cook more at the cabin rather than dine out elsewhere as we couldn't tear ourselves away from the stunning view of Snowdon from our dining room table! Our dog Honey fell in love with Guto -Sue & Garry's dog and enjoyed the freedom of running about the adjoining field - we couldn't get her in the car when it was time to leave! An idyllic destination- for a week which went by too quickly. We cannot recommend this cabin and the owners hospitality enough. Thank you

- Jackie, August 2023
Jane August 2023

“A fabulous location with stunning views of Snowdon and Beddgelert.”

Lots of quiet walks and cycle routes directly from the cabin. Very comfortable and clean accommodation. Unbelievably quiet location, so very relaxing, with kind and friendly hosts. The doggie paddock was also very useful.

- Jane, August 2023
Karine August 2023

“Sue was absolutely lovely and helpful on our arrival.”

We got a little lost in the lanes, do NOT follow the GPS directions from Hotels.com, but do follow the ones in the email! We would definitely book this cottage again if we came back to Snodonia. It's homey, comfortable, with amazing views. Loved it!

- Karine, August 2023
Clive July 2023

“The property was ideal, a little dated but that was perfect as if it was all new and shiny I would have worried about marks from my dog.”

Amazing views, walks, location perfect for what we wanted , Sue and Garry are super, complementary wine and Welsh cakes and doggy treats. I could not fault the holiday .

- Clive, July 2023
Joel June 2023

“The owner has a wonderful property in a wonderful location.”

It is incredibly comfortable with an excellent sofa and armchair with a very well equipped kitchen. I would definitely want to go back and make it my base when going to Snowdonia.

- Joel, June 2023
Paul June 2023

“If it's peace, landscape views and nature you're looking for then this place is for you !”

Truly lovely and relaxed holiday, although we were unlucky with the weather at times. Enough room and amenities in the cabin for me and the missus and our dog. Excellent wi-fi connection, so we could search for areas to visit. Sue & Gary are very friendly and accommodating, non-intrusive and we had no issues but if we did need them they were there all the time. There are tons of places to visit and the view from the cabin is second-to-none, facing Mount Snowden. Not many places in the area can boast this advantageous spot ! The cabin is 2 minutes the other side of the main Forest Holidays site with a shop and takeaway (great fish 'n chips). It's lovely to just walk around this park with a nice stream and walking grounds/woods. 2 miles away is the quaint village of Beddgelert and if you get chance to visit over a Sunday, drop into the Golden Fleece pub/restaurant in Tremadog and sample their excellent Sunday Roast. Beyond this Porthmadog is a nice harbour town and a few miles more is Port Meirion (although it does not allow dogs). We also dropped by the Black Rock Sands, where there is a huge beach at which you can park your car on (cost at the time was £8 all day and you can leave and return as many times as you want). Instead of driving we caught the bus into Caernarfon (about half hour ride) and what a lovely small town it is, with the Castle the main attraction and some lovely pubs ! All in all a lovely time (aside the weather) and we will have to return again !

- Paul, June 2023
Jacqueline June 2023

“Best ever holiday.”

Fantastic place - just sat and stared at the amazing views and Snowdon, right there, in front of us all the time. Sue and Gary were wonderful and Gitto (probably spelled that wrong - sorry

Stephen May 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at Snowdon Vista.”

Sue and Gary were excellent hosts, contacting us in advance and giving clear travel instructions. On arrival Sue took us round the property explaining how everything worked and pointing out key features The welcome pack, including some dog treats, was a really nice touch. The real highlight of Snowdon Vista is the view that is stunning and spectacular whichever way you look. The location is a little isolated but if you are interested in walking or cycling in Snowdonia it is an ideal starting point.

- Stephen, May 2023
Brenda April 2023

“When we arrived Susan took us around the cabin to explain everything to us.”

Very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. I would like to thank her for the goody’s she left for us. The views are amazing from the cabin, would recommend the stay to anyone.

- Brenda, April 2023
James April 2023

“Wow! What an amazing place and a beautiful vista.”

Felt really special to be here for a week, to be looking out at such gorgeous scenery, to be so central in Snowdonia and to have the lovely log burner on a couple of rainy days. We left the quick 45-minute walk into Beddgelert to our last day but it was so delightful we should have done it sooner! Sue was great too, welcoming and thoughtful. Would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you, Sue!

- James, April 2023
Vicci March 2023

“If you want total peace and quiet, then this is the place for you.”

The beauty of your surroundings is absolutely breathtaking. Great walks from right outside your front door. Also, it is a great base to explore further. The cabin itself is immaculately clean, warm, and cosy and caters to all your needs. Sue and Gary are first-class hosts. We've had the best time here. So much so that we have booked again to return later in the year.

- Vicci, March 2023
Delphine December 2022

“We all completely fell in love with Snowdon Vista Cabin!”

The cabin completely met our needs, was very comfortable, clean and well stocked with the essentials (including lots of treats!), was warm despite freezing temperatures outside and most importantly has the most sensational views of the Snowdon range you could possibly ask for. The dogs loved the large enclosed field right outside to run around in and you can do wonderful walks straight from the door (including walking into Beddgelert) which is something we love to be able to do. Sue and Gary are the kindest, most generous hosts imaginable - we had car trouble whilst there and they bent over backwards to help us sort it out. It turns out that, when you're having difficulties, it is very handy to have your hosts nearby! Thank you so much to you both and we will definitely be back!

- Delphine, December 2022
Wendy October 2022

“Our family had a very relaxing week in Wales.”

The cabin was clean and cosy, with amazing panoramic views. It's location allowed us to really explore this region, with easy drives to climb mount Snowdon, visit the beaches and castles. The hosts were very friendly and gave us some good suggestions for the local area.

- Wendy, October 2022
Claire September 2022

“Absolutely amazing stay!”

The location was second to none, how lovely to have such views from all rooms. The peace was delightful and a big bonus to have the field for our dog! Sue and Gary very helpful and friendly without being intrusive and our welcome goodies were a lovely touch. Spotlessly clean and would definitely return! Thank you!

- Claire, September 2022
Lynn September 2022

“First class holiday accommodation, very clean comfortable and peaceful with spectacular views of Snowdon.”

Sue and Gary were very good hosts. We will hopefully return.

- Lynn, September 2022
Denise September 2022

“It was just the most lovely relaxing holiday.”

The views are incredible, Snowden is just beautiful. Lots of dog walks from the cabin if you fancy day with no driving but also lots to see within a short drive. Hosts were lovely and very forgiving of our spaniel who wandered into their kitchen to say hello.

- Denise, September 2022
Laura September 2022

“Many thanks to Sue and Gary who own the property, they are such a lovely couple and helped make our stay so welcoming.”

The first impression on entering the property is how cosy it looks. This is our second stay at this property. The views are stunning. You have all the amenities you need. Small areas need a bit of TLC but the views make up for that. Prices in the Restaurants have gone through the roof so we ate at the cottage most nights. Sully our Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier loved it as he had so much space to run wild in. Beddgelert is stunning. Just book it and enjoy the views, you will not be disappointed.

- Laura, September 2022
Nic July 2022

“Superb location, great for walks both immediately around the cottage and close to Snowdon.”

Oliver July 2022

“Sue was lovely and made us feel welcome.”

The accommodation was everything we were looking for when booking. The views were fantastic and the peace much appreciated. We will definitely stay at the Snowdon Vista Cabin again.

- Oliver, July 2022
David July 2022

“We had a truly unforgettable and memorable time.”

It was definitely a holiday where we could feel at one with mother nature. So relaxing and tranquil. The cabin had everything we needed and was clean and tidy. It was like home from home. The views were spectacular overlooking Mount Snowden and Snowdonia. It was a perfect for our dog - fantastic forests to explore and breathtaking and amazing views. The owners were absolutely brilliant. They made our stay even better, if that was possible. So kind and thoughtful and excellent hosts. We spent many an evening in their company - friendly and caring people. We will definitely go back."

- David, July 2022
Ian July 2022

“The cabin is well named as you look out across to Snowdon from the living room.”

Hosts Susan and Gary are very friendly, passing on useful tips about where to eat and places to visit. The area around the cabin is quite with plenty of walking trails through the forest.

- Ian, July 2022
Gina June 2022

“This is a lovely cabin for adults who love walking.”

I would say that in our opinion it isn’t really suitable for toddlers, because of hazards outside such as steep steps down to the garden area, which should really be made clear on the listing. The facilities have a lower score for a couple of reasons; I requested a cot and high chair for our 2 year old, which initially weren’t there but as the owners are next door they quickly provided these. Unfortunately the cot did not have a mattress, so our daughter slept on a folded duvet, which wasn’t ideal, so she ended up in a twin bed. The owners were extremely apologetic and have ordered a mattress for future use. Secondly, the shower was problematic, it ran cold for a few days, then we managed to get a warm but very very weak shower. Again, the owners have taken this on board and are looking into an electric shower. The location is perfect, with gorgeous views, fabulous walks and convenient for some lovely days out. The beds are very comfortable and the owners very friendly and helpful. The cabin itself is private and peaceful. There is a field next to the cabin where dogs can run which is handy. Everything was clean and spotless on arrival. The little goodies such as Welsh cakes and wine were a nice touch. If it hadn’t been for the shower and lack of mattress I would score 5/5.

- Gina, June 2022
Robert May 2022

“Lovely location with friendly owners.”

Ideal property for enjoying numerous walks from the door or relaxing inside taking in the fantastic views. My Boston Terrier 'Merlot' didn't want to go home!

Peter April 2022

“We had a great holiday in this cabin.”

It is in an excellent location with amazing views right from the windows when we wanted some down time to relax. There is so much to do we could have done with two weeks there. The only very minor comment is that the kitchen could have done with a few more utensils for when we were cooking there. Sue and Garry were great hosts.

- Peter, April 2022
Jane April 2022

“Had a brilliant stay at Snowden Vista Cabin.”

Indrajit January 2022

“We had a lovely weekend break and really enjoyed he fantastic views from the cabin.”

On a clear day the view of Mt Snowdon from the living room, kitchen and the bedroom was fascinating. The cabin was clean and comfortable with modern amenities. Thanks to the owner Sue who welcomed us warmly and was very helpful. The Welsh Cakes, jam and the bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely gesture. We particularly enjoyed the walk to the nearby lake in the midst of relaxing scenic beauty. On the whole the trip would be a memorable one for us.

“First, we would like to thank Sue and Gary who made our stay so welcoming.”

The first impression of the cabin was cozy with the most stunning views of Mt. Snowdon and the surrounding area. Facilities include Heating, Cooker, Microwave, Toaster, Electric Kettle, Dishwasher, Timer, Crockery, Cutlery, Pots and Pans, Wi-Fi, etc. It also has a 3-acre enclosed field for the dogs to run freely.

Colin October 2020

“Snowdon Vista Cabin is a real gem.”

We were looking for a quiet location with views of the mountains and we certainly got more than we anticipated! The cabin was really comfortable and Sue, the owner, was so lovely and welcoming and ensured that we had everything we needed. She could not have done more to ensure that we had a really lovely stay and was so friendly without being at all intrusive. The cabin was spotlessly clean and there were fabulous walks right from the doorstep. We will definitely be returning next year as we loved the peace and quiet, the fact that there were numerous beautiful walks right from the doorstep and the views could not be better.

- Colin, October 2020
Stephen September 2020

“Stunning location.”

A wonderfully comfortable cabin with views of Snowdon. Walk right out the door and up the hill to a beautiful lake, or simply sit and enjoy the view. The kitchen may be compact but is perfectly adequate for cooking up dinner, to be enjoyed with panoramic views. Owners (Sue, Garry and Guto the dog) are very helpful and friendly while being totally unobtrusive. While the cabin is adjacent to their property we felt beautifully isolated which is exactly what we wanted. There is a TV but with the vista in front of us we never got close to turning it on. Beddgelert village is a 5 min drive or a bit of a walk in the evenings if you are looking for a pub/restaurant (approx 30mins). Overall we cannot recommend Snowdon Vista highly enough and will definitely be re-booking.

- Stephen, September 2020
Helen September 2020

“If you love mountains, trees, streams and the most amazing views then look no further.”

The cabin is as advertised and then some, the owners are on site to help if you need it, but are not intrusive and let you enjoy the cabin and surrounds in peace. Everything you need is supplied, the cabin is comfortable, warm and airy. Dogs are very welcomed. All in all a wonderful week, which could not have been bettered.

- Helen, September 2020
Glenn September 2020

“The location and views of Mount Snowdon and the surrounding valley from the cabin is absolutely superb.”

The cabin was immaculately clean, well equipped, comfortable and the welcome pack was excellent. The location is quiet, tranquil and close to numerous walks and close to several pretty villages. The owners Sue and Gary were extremely helpful, friendly and attentive; nothing was too much trouble. We have been visiting this area for over 30 years and have never had such a fantastic holiday that ticked all our expectations; stunning location, scenery, comfort and warm friendly owners all in one place.

- Glenn, September 2020
Peter August 2020

“The name has it right 'Snowden Vista', magnificent views of Mount Snowden and surrounding mountain range from all living room windows.”

Warm and comfortable cabin with all facilities. Excellent for our dogs, loved being able to roam in surrounding field with no leads!! Well away from roads, so stress free for us. Cabin is about a twenty minute drive from Porthmadog, where there is a largeTesco, and the town is delightful (lots of charity shops too, which suited mum!!). Having owners living nearby is always handy for any problems - for us, it was with one of our cars - they very kindly lent my dad the tools to fix it, and pointed us in the direction of a car parts supplier, instead of having to take to a garage!! Owners have a dedicated staff, trained up for covid situation, who do the 'changeover', and hand sanitizer is supplied if you haven't brought your own. They gave instructions of what we needed to do on leaving - putting bedding and linen in bags etc. and distanced when we saw them while we were there. Hopefully if we can go again in future, when all this us over, we can shake their hands and thank them for a wonderful, stress free, relaxed holiday. Peter Brown.

- Peter, August 2020
Kenneth July 2020

“Wonderful views particularly of Snowdon with friendly helpful owners next door.”

The cabin was pristine (Covid professional cleaning service used before our arrival) and comfortable. Everything in good working order and all necessary equipment to hand. (No cafetière but owners quickly provided their own filter coffee maker!) Wine and welsh cakes provided on arrival and basics...tea, coffee, sugar and milk sachets provided. We took our own towels and pillows as a precaution but had no worries that everything had been done to ensure whole place was Covid free. Bathroom had no heat and no facility to dry towels in between use.Washing machine and tumble dryer for communal use in shed behind cabin.Access to cabin along winding gritted track, a little bumpy and rutted in places but perfectly manageable in medium sized family car. Small patio area at the back of the owners cottage (take your own picnic chair) and communal picnic benches at the front of owners cottage give good opportunity to enjoy the sun and the views up and down the valley. Unfortunately the weather wasn't quite so obliging but with an electric fire for warmth we were happy to batten down the hatches for a couple of days and relax.... Thank you Sue and Gary.

- Kenneth, July 2020
Linda February 2020

“Lovely accommodation.”

Has it's own field, ideal for dogs to have a run. Beautiful views. Lovely touch with tea coffee and milk, welsh cakes and bottled of red wine on arrival. Sue the owner on hand for advice and really friendly goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Will be returning

- Linda, February 2020
Vicky January 2020

“We had a lovely little break with our baby and our dog.”

The owners were very helpful and welcoming and are near by if you need anything. The views from the cabin are amazing and it's perfectly situated to walk Snowdon and explore the nearby forest.

- Vicky, January 2020
Karen November 2019

“The views were stunning the only thing not mentioned was the road to the cabin goes through a campsite were the speed bumps are savage then the road becomes a forest track.”

We had a wonderful time and the welcome tray of fresh bread, Welsh cakes and jam was a real treat.

- Karen, November 2019
Mark October 2019

“From the comfort of Vista Cabin the views of Snowdon and surrounding area are truly breathtaking, if we wanted we didn't have to leave the Vista Cabin to find them, there're there from sunrise to sunset.”

Located along a track the cabin gave us the peace and quiet we were looking for along with forest walks just outside the back door, which was wonderful for the two dogs the owner Sue allows. We also visited the wider area of Snowdonia with ease on the spectacular mountain roads. A lovely Cabin offering everything you need for a get away break from it all, with a warm welcome and helpful advice from Sue the owner close at hand it will be difficult to beat.

- Mark, October 2019
Anthony October 2019

“This stunning secluded setting provides a lovely location and a perfect peaceful get away.”

The lodge had everything we needed for self catering, comfortable beds and furniture. We enjoyed the approach to the Lodge travelling uphill through the campsite on forest tracks crossing the Welsh Highland steam railway. We found Beddgelert beautiful with good restaurants and coffee houses. There is Beddgelert and Gelert’s grave walk 2.63km well paved that goes down the side of the river it takes about an hour and it is wheelchair friendly. Snowdonia is exceptionally beautiful with many great views and panarama’s we come back time after time.

- Anthony, October 2019
Andy September 2019

“Beautiful cabin in an amazing place run by very friendly people.”

The cabin itself wants for nothing. The view and location is utterly stunning. Idyllic.

- Andy, September 2019
Michael September 2019

“The cabin is situated in a lovely location with plenty of walks on the doorstep.”

The facilities are good with excellent broadband although no mobile signal available on the O2 network. The cabin is slightly on the small side for 4 people, it would probably work better as a 1 bedroom property if you wanted plenty of space to relax in. The owners who are on site are very helpful,there is work taking place on the dry stone walling which could be little disruptive. We had a very enjoyable stay in the cabin and would recommend it to others.

- Michael, September 2019
David August 2019

“We had the most amazing time at Snowdon vista.”

The hosts, Sue and Gary were great - really friendly and attentive; the cabin was a perfect retreat from our busy routines, with amazing walks through the forrest frkm the doorstep and the views were just spectacular! We loved it here, as did our dog and children! Can't wait to go back!

- Jen, July 2019
Susan July 2019

“We had an amazing time; the views from the cabin were spectacular and the facilities and comfort of the cabin were ideal for our stay.”

Sue and Gary were more than welcoming and informative - top tips being the local lake for swimming and a super meal at The Black Boy pub in Caernarvon! It was an ideal base for our daily adventures and super forest tracks for trail running too. Definitely recommend a stay here.

- Susan, July 2019
Ben July 2019

“We had an incredible time at the cabin.”

The views and scenery were exceptional and the facilities clean and well equipped. It was exactly what we were looking for. There are some wonderful walks from the doorstep (including one up to a beautiful secluded lake which is absolutely worth a trip). On top of that, Sue and Gary were fantastic, and could not have been more accommodating. They struck a great balance between leaving us to our own devices to enjoy what the cabin and area had to offer, whilst also being on hand to offer great local advice and to ensure we were happy. We will definitely be back!

“Just a few additions.”

.. As a smoker the outside seating area was a bonus. When it states it has its own water supply it should have stated the water could be bottled and sold in bottles - a mountain spring is the source, then harvested, bespoke multistage filtered and ultra-violet treated providing pure water at the tap. The management (Sue and Gary) and their team either provides as much space or interaction as desired demonstrating oodles of hospitality. Skinny dipping if you forget to pack your bathing costume/swimming trunks in a mountain lake no further than half hour away after a days walking or first thing in the morning to start your day with a sparkle. Local eatery's - we would suggest look for the one with the most customers as a measure of its fare. We sat beside a stream (that was probably a river after the rains) with our Jack Russell and ate our fill - the portions looked enormous, but after a day's walking the contents of the plate seemed to diminish with time (and the help of JR!). If you're in to tourist stuff, then join the hoards who head for Snowdon, but Sue and Gary can point you in the direction of less travelled paths - was I staying for a week I'd plan BBQ's for the weekend and remain on-site away from the hoards afore-mentioned, but make the most of the weekdays. Collect shopping, drinks and refrigerated foodstuffs on the way in - Caenarfon has all the big supermarkets or use Portmadoc is nearer after arrival. I hope this helps those planning an escape from the stresses and strains of daily life - much better than a doctor's prescription pills :)

“There was a lovely genuine welcome from the owners , including a welcome food pack (with wine) and full introduction of the facilities.”

The view of the mountains was beautiful, even if it was a little misty at times. All in all it was a smashing break, in a lovely cabin, in a superb location! Many thanks to Sue for her help and kindness. Thanks to you to at Sykes for a brilliant web site which enabled easy detailed searching and simple booking. "We'll be back"address

“Helpful webchat when enquiring about booking and offer to hold the cottage while we decided what to do was much appreciated.”

The cabin is very comfortable and the views are amazing. The location of the cabin is very peaceful and uncrowded yet it's not too far from Beddgelert. Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly. They advised us about local area and were available if we needed anything. The welcome pack was much appreciated and included some lovely freshly baked bread which we really enjoyed. It was our first holiday away with our dog and the accommodation and surroundings worked well for him and he was made just as welcome as the rest of us! We had a lovely stay and very much hope to return soon.

“Our original booking had to be changed due to an issue, fortunately the same owners had a log cabin next door, which was fantastic.”

The views are stunning, the local area is wonderful, peace and quiet was just what we were looking for and what we got. Sue met us on our arrival with fresh bread, jam, and welsh scones, cabin was spotless and Sue was very engaging, recommended a few places visit which did not disappoint. I would recommend both this property, the owners, and the website, all were fantastic, sorted out the original booking issue smoothly and would certainly use them again.

The 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.

If you don’t feel like cooking one evening, venture into the centre of Beddgelert, where you will find a selection of traditional pubs and eateries, as well as shops for picking up any essentials.

Whilst visiting Beddgelert you can brush up on the local history by visiting Gelert's Grave or taking a tour of the Sygun Copper Mine.

Alternatively, venture to the coast where you will find a number of award-winning beaches which includes the popular resort of Porthmadog or be charmed by the Italianate village of Portmeirion.

Snowdon Vista Cabin is a refreshing break within an area steeped with natural beauty.

BEDDGELERT

Porthmadog 7.7 miles; Caernarfon 12.8 miles.

The picturesque village of Beddgelert lies in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park at the foot of Mount Snowdon. Beddgelert is a bustling village with arts and craft shops, tea rooms, welcoming pubs, including Saracens Head and the Royal Goat, and restaurants, centred around the Afon Glaslyn river. A leisurely stroll along the river will take you to the Aberglaslyn Pass, one of North Wales’s most famous beauty spots. The Welsh Highland Steam Railway passes through the village on its journey from Porthmadog to Caernarfon. Beddgelert is famed for its monument to the Welsh Prince Llewelyn's dog, whom the Prince killed thinking it had attacked and killed his son, only to discover afterwards it had been defending his son from a savage wolf attack. From here, you can easily access Porthmadog, home to a Maritime Museum, the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, the Black Rock Llamas, and Porthmadog Golf Club, as well as Borth y Gest, where you can hike along the Beach Path, spend a day at the beach, and dine at the popular Black Rock Beach Club with stunning sea views, onwards to the Llyn Peninsula and beyond, this is an ideal location for a Welsh holiday.
