Property code: OC-488065

Offering panoramic views over the Dyfi Valley towards the Snowdonia mountains, the design of the chic little cabin outside Machynlleth was inspired by the Welsh slate industry, so it fits effortlessly into its natural surroundings. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, it’s the ideal country retreat for a romantic couple in search of peace and tranquillity in the Welsh countryside. With its clever, compact design, this cabin sits on a working farm and was showcased on the ‘Cabins in the Wild’ TV series. You’ll love waking up to the stunning views from your bed, and spending romantic evenings snuggling in front of the pot-bellied wood burner.

Step inside and you’ll discover a wonderful space bathed in natural light. Rustle up some dinner in the kitchenette and dine at the handy pull-out table. After dinner, enjoy a glass of wine on the deck, or get cosy on the sofa and take in the amazing views of Cader Idris and Aran Fawddwy. When it’s time for bed, the sofa transforms into a king-size bed at the touch of a button. In the morning, start your day with a coffee in bed. The bed elevates at the touch of a button so you can get the very best views from where you’re lying.

Grab your hiking boots and challenge yourself to the climb up Aran Fawddwy (9 miles). Along the way you’ll see the awesome crags of Cwm Cywarch, as well as excellent views of the Rhinog Mountains. Alternatively, head into Machynlleth (7 miles) to visit its Museum of Modern Art or the Centre for Alternative Technology. There are plenty of quirky boutiques and alternative lifestyle stores to check out there too.

We are so happy to be back! This is our third visit to Caban Llechi and I think we love it more every time. We could stare at the beautiful view for hours and we've loved watching the new arrivals skipping around the field. We have been incredibly lucky with the weather - the spring sunshine has been beautiful and we've certainly made the most of iRead moret walking in the mountains. Cadair Idris is an absolute favourite - we walked up the Minffordd path to the summit before heading down towards Pen y Bwlch Coch, which was a lovely, quiet walk, we even caught an air show through the narrow mountains. We also went on one of our favourite walks to date, we parked at Bryn Hafod and walked up to Aran Faddwy - the views were breathtaking! We walked along the ridge to Aran Benllyn - thank you for the recommendation. We wondered to the Mawddach Pizza near Dolgellau which we would highly recommend - possibly the best pizza we've ever had. We've also loved grabbing a morning coffee and breakfast from Ty Cemaes. Thank you so much again for the most wonderful and relaxing stay. Hide

A beautifully sited cabin, with stupendous views. The cabin is small so comfort is limited to a degree but it has all the basics, a toilet, a hot shower, effective heating, basic cooking and a great bed. And lots of little extras - books and games, a welcome pack, milk in fridge. A great choice for a complete get away.
