“The cabin was amazing.”

Clean, tidy and so cosy. It was lovely and warm all the time. So peaceful listening to the screams each morning. The owner was very helpful , left a bottle of buck fuzz on arrival , toilet rolls, washing up liquid , towels and bedding. The kids loved it, dvds to watch, board games. I will be going back. Lovely 5 day break..

“The cabin is a beautiful idyll set in a peaceful hillside with running streams close by to lull you to a peaceful rest.”

The facilities are exceptional and you want for nothing. The photos do nothing to reflect the beauty of the surroundings and The Cabin is exactly as in the pictures. The concerns for the current climate are addressed and I felt safe in the environment. There are welcome essentials with long life milk and a lovely bottle of Prosecco left by the hosts who are near enough to help if needed but leave you to make yourself at home. The location is great for a base to visit local sites and there is plenty to do. I had a wonderful break with my daughter and will definitely be returning. Thank you

“If you you're looking for peace and quiet this is the place, close to Conwy, Llandudno and Snowdonia.”

......... magic !

Mr Budgen February 2020

“I had high expectations for the cottage.”

They were fully met. The directions to get to the cottage were a little confusing: a "yellow grit container" is mentioned, but there are 2 along the road (the second one being the mentioned one), could be worth saying this to help guests find the location.

“Lovely accomadation in the perfect location the owner Lynn was lovely too!”

“Lovely cabin - warm, clean & cosy.”

Pretty gardens with tumbling streams and easy access to miles of mountain pathways.

- Mr Bell, November 2019
Mrs Ainsworth October 2019

“The only thing we could say that would be an advantage at y caban is a log burner in the living room area.”

As winter approaches, maybe it would benefit people to have some heating in the living area. But other than that, I can't fault the place, the owners were quick to assist and help with the problem we had with the electric heater we had. It was a wonderful place and we will definitely be going back... V. Ainsworth.

It's spacious but still cosy with all of the facilities you could possibly need and is located in stunning surroundings. We can't wait to book again and return!

Mr Van Kan August 2019

“Lovely cottage, all was there what was needed, very complete.”

Clean and cosy. The North of Wales is beautiful and there is a lot to explore.

Mr Rozanski July 2019

“Nice cabin up at the top of a valley nice and peaceful all facilities catered for nice owners very helpful however not easily found as satnav only takes you so far and instructions a bit basic and not much information is given about the roads Wich are single track a lot of the way with not many passing points so if you meet traffic it is a nightmare however other than that we enjoyed the holiday.”

- Mr Rozanski, July 2019
Mr Keast July 2019

“Y Caban is a lovely cabin surrounded by trees with a stream flowing by.”

It is very comfortable although a bit out of the way, accessible by very narrow and steep country lanes. There are walks from the cabin but all are steep although the views make the effort worthwhile. The local lanes are like a maze and we would have been lost without our vehicles good mapping system. The coast and woodland walks are within easy reach by car though so the cabin is a reasonable base although it did lack WiFi and a distant view from the cabin which is blocked by trees. Good holiday though in a great area.

- Mr Keast, July 2019
Miss Bennett April 2019

“We spent three nights at Y Caban with our two children aged 5 and 7.”

It was wonderful, Jayne was really welcoming and the cottage was clean and cosy. The little stream and grounds were perfect. The children played outside and especially loved Yammy the sheep and her new lamb. The location too was fantastic peaceful hills yet close enough to all the many delights of North Wales. We’ll be returning!

- Miss Bennett, April 2019
Mrs Runnells April 2019

“A lovely lodge nestled high in the hills.”

It had everything we needed to have a very comfortable holiday. A particular highlight for our children was being able to explore the garden and the streams in it - such fun. The lodge is ideally situated for easy access to Snowdonia, the coast, Anglesey etc. Would definitely recommend and we hope to return.

“Lovely cosy stay in December”

Had a brilliant 5 nights in the cabin in December and it was perfect! Stunning waterfalls outside and countryside/mountains on your doorstep and a lovely cosy cabin to come back to at the end of the day! Owner very approachable and friendly. Overall had a fantastic stay and will definitely come again!! ⛰

Mrs Hastings December 2018

“The most Beautiful Christmas getaway ever.”

On arrival we were greeted with wine and fudge sweets left for us on the table. Made to feel very welcome. The Y Caban (the cabin) was warm, cosy, clean and very well equipped. Our wonderful host Mrs Moore had decorated the cabin with a Christmas tree and lights inside and outside. The location is beautiful with water falls and stream on three sides, idyllic. There are many very picturesque attractions only 10-15 minutes’ drive away even in winter. The road leading to the cabin is tight and winding, that you get used to, just adds to the attraction. If you enjoy peace and quite and love country life then this place is very highly recommended. Will certainly be returning.

- Mrs Hastings, December 2018
Mr Wiles November 2018

“Very peaceful, cabin was lovely and the town is nearby which is handy.”

“Fantastic Getaway”

I have stayed at the cabin 3 times when visiting the UK from Australia. I stayed last time with my fiancé and we loved it. So peaceful and beautiful, the amenities are great, everything you need. There is a small hill to get to the lodge but nothing too taxing. The town of Conwy is around a 10/15 minute drive through the country lanes and it’s a typical country town.... this is somewhere you holiday if you’re looking to get away from it all and enjoy all that nature and the beautiful Snowdonia National Park has to offer. We were surprised though at how many different action activities are close by. I have been at different times in the year and it always delivers. Love the friendliness and care taken by the hosts as well, for the people looking for a peaceful getaway at a very reasonable price I highly recommend it.

- Tracy B, September 2018
Denise A September 2018

“Can't wait to go again”

Fantastic views,very comfortable in the cabin home from home ,far enough away from the hustle and bustle, peace and quiet,looking forward to my week again in March. I would recommend it too all, fantastic walking in the mountains I loved it. Main shopping and the sea only ten minutes away Conwy. Family very friendly and helpful. If you enjoy the great outdoors as I do I would recommend it.

- Denise A, September 2018
Mr Taylor September 2018

“The road to the cottage is very long and steep.”

Not for the fainthearted or anyone with a big car!!

- Mr Taylor, September 2018
Mrs Allsop August 2018

“Y Caban is bigger than it looks on the pictures and occupies an elevated position at the rear of the owners land.”

We had a wonderful week there. Not only is the location idyllic but the living space is perfect for a family break. It's rare you go on holiday and feel so at home. We had everything we needed including a lovely host. Conwy itself is just brimming with things to do and the beach, which is 15 minutes away is fab. We spent a lot of time in the lovely town too. We didn't manage to do everything, which is good because it means we get to go back. Loved it!

- Mrs Allsop, August 2018
Mrs Murrell August 2018

“Holiday was great.”

We visited everywhere we wanted to visit. Accommodation itself was fine, and in a beautiful spot. Only saw the owners once, who were very friendly and let our children play on their daughter's swing and in their garden. Lodge had everything we wanted. Beds were comfy, shower was hot. All good!

- Mrs Murrell, August 2018
Mrs Humphries August 2018

“We really enjoy our week at the cabin , but it is the first time in 10 years of taking holidays in cabins/holiday cottages that the owners didn't meet us on arrival or at some point during the stay we really found it strange.”

Apart from that the cabin was lovely, inviting, well equipped and in a quite area which we love and the stream was an amazing bonus.

- Mrs Humphries, August 2018
Mr Archer June 2018

“This is a beautiful cabin, we loved staying here.”

It's a lovely quiet setting with the sound of the stream passing by. The cabin is very well equipped indeed, with everything you could need. We were particularly impressed with ecological aspects, and attention to detail. We did find the narrow and hilly roads, whilst very picturesque, a bit scary in case of meeting the occasional vehicle coming in the opposite direction, but we didn't actually experience any problems. Sadly the lanes were a bit too hilly for walking for our elderly knees, although one of us did walk some way up after turning left out of the cabin drive and was rewarded with fantastic views and scenery. We had a lovely welcome package so could get a cup of tea on arrival and were treated to a delightful floral posy which lasted the whole week. We tried approaching it initially from the south trying to avoid Conwy, but that was a mistake and we'd recommend head for Conwy first and then follow the instructions, apart from the final sign for the Old Church, (and the recent absence of the phone box didn't help) where you need to turn right instead of left. The heatwave and constant sunshine was a real bonus, if a bit of a trial at times, but if we'd had rain and not wanted to go out there was plenty to do "at home". We'd recommend this heartily. as a great place to explore the area, which has much to offer.

Mrs Clarkson June 2018

“Lovely cabin spotlessly clean,tea,coffee sugar and milk waiting on arrival,also bubbly and biscuits”

- Mrs Clarkson, June 2018
Mrs Picker May 2018

“We had a great time, lodge was lovely in beautiful surroundings.”

It is a very steep road to get to it but it wasn't a problem. Lots to do around and about would definitely recommend.

“Absolutely amazing.”

The cabin is gorgeous surround by streams and waterfalls. Hosts were great had one day of bad snow and they messaged to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be booking to stay there again.

Emma M February 2018

“Amazing relaxing retreat”

The location is remote enough to escape from the hustle and bustle of life but a great location to get to Anglesey and Snowdonia, with walks easily accessible from the cabin. The cabin has a great layout with plenty of space for cooking, eating and chilling. I stayed here during Feb and is was defo warm enough with our host making sure that we had everything we needed when it snowed! I made some great memories here with my boyfriend and would suggest anyone (of any age) to come here and make there own.

- Emma M, February 2018
Mr Jackson January 2018

“Fantastic place to stay highly recommended, can be a difficult road to drive to, but once there it is very scenic and close to the mountains and walking paths.”

We visited in winter and still had a great time but I could imagine in the summer it would be beautiful!

Mrs Curran October 2016

“The most relaxing week away ever!”

! Beautiful beaches to stroll along and plenty to do within a 5 mile radius. The cabin was idyllic.... beautiful sunrises and sunsets and lulled to sleep by the sound of the stream which covers three sides of the cabins setting. Would definitely book again and strongly recommend it to our friends

- Mrs Curran, October 2016

- Mr Davies, July 2016
Dr Baxter July 2016

“A real get away place, up a narrow quiet country lane surrounded by mountains.”

The cabin was very comfortable with a good shower and a sofa that you can really sink in to. The owner was friendly and there was everything that you need. The sound of running water from the stream is all you can hear.

- Dr Baxter, July 2016

“lovely peaceful setting. idyllic cosy cabin - everything provided”

We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay in Y Caban and the owners had provided everything we required and were there to welcome us. The chalet itself is quite isolated and so peaceful with a stream around three sides. The only bugbear was the narrow winding lanes in the area - we got used to these. The area is very interesting, lots to see and do without travelling too far.. we recommend Penrhyn beach as a must visit, Obviously you have to take the cable car up Snowdon into the clouds wow! We didn't tend to eat out much apart from coffee and/or hot chocolate but did find a bakery in Conwyn main street who do huge crunchy jam do'nuts yummy, do try them. We went to lots of National Trust Gardens, Bodnant aren't very dog friendly, shame, but so impressed with Plas Newydd House (house closed that day) & Gardens where there is a long lovely woodland walk for the dog, and the gardens were beautiful & well managed, we thoroughly recommend this as a visit, and also Swallow Falls no admission fee- wonderful! (not National Trust) & you'll have to Google it for exact situation.

“Good morning, my husband and I plus two aging dogs enjoyed our stay at The Cabin very much.”

It is a real chill out place yet within easy reach of places to visit and enjoy the views. Facilities ideal for our needs. The owners were on hand but did not appear intrusive in any way. Hope to revisit.

About the location

CONWY

Llandudno 5 miles; Betws-y-Coed 16 miles.

Conwy, a World Heritage Site, is without doubt world famous for its historical and architectural heritage, yet at the heart of the town lies a hub of bustling activity. Alongside its ancient festivals and fairs, musical recitals, galleries and historical attractions, there is an array of specialist shops, restaurants and hotels. Built for King Edward I between 1283 and 1287, Master James of St George's design, Conwy Castle remains one of the most outstanding achievements of medieval military architecture. The distinctive, elongated shape, with its two barbicans, eight massive towers and a great bow-shaped hall was perhaps determined by the narrow rocky outcrop on which the castle stands. The town is proud of its historic traditions and celebrates its past by retaining many of these in its annual festivals, events and fairs, including the Honey fair, Seed fair and Gwledd Conwy Feast in October, along with other musical events throughout the year. Conwy is the perfect base for exploring the dramatic Snowdonia National Park, walking unspoilt sandy beaches, or taking in the wonderful scenery on your doorstep. Also within reach are the Llechwedd Slate Caverns, which has the longest zip wire in Europe, and Surf Snowdonia is just six miles away.
