Fantastic little 'cave', fantastic location for getting out and about around Snowdonia or equally sitting out the front taking in the views.

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 shower 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
