Property code: OC-O28315

Perched on a lush, green hillside just 7.5 miles from the market town of Machynlleth, this stylish cabin is an idyllic setting for a romantic break in Mid Wales and perfect for couples keen to absorb Welsh history and culture. The cabin boasts panoramic views of Snowdonia National Park''s southern fringe, inviting living spaces and easy access to the popular walking trail, Glyndwr''s Way.

The single-storey cabin is set off a winding track in farmland overlooking wooded valleys and blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Its interior is homely and deceptively spacious, with natural light pouring in at will through large windows. Inviting chairs are arranged around a wood burner in the lounge, a cosy setting for a glass of fizz, an evening film or simply admiring the view. An ample kitchen is close by for second helpings and refills. The en-suite king-size bedroom offers a restful night's sleep, with the bonus of stunning views through its large windows over breakfast in bed. The decked area at the front of the cabin is the perfect platform to enjoy ever-changing views during the day or cosying up around the firepit as the stars sparkle in the night sky.

The cabin is located on a farm with easy access to the A470, Wales'' longest road. The area is a haven for walkers and it''s a scenic 1-mile journey from the cabin to the village cafe, pub and shop in Cemaes. Glyndwr''s Way, one of only three national trails in Wales, is a fantastic circular walk that takes visitors through breathtaking countryside and market towns like Machynlleth (7.5 miles), the ancient capital of Wales. The foothills of Snowdonia National Park, an astonishing natural landscape beloved worldwide, can be found within 5 miles of the cabin.

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.

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
