Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the cabin's spotless condition, indicating meticulous attention to cleanliness. The property is described as well-presented and immaculate, reflecting a high standard of hygiene and care.
The cabin's location is highly praised for its peace, quiet, and stunning 360-degree views. Its remoteness is appreciated by guests looking for a tranquil retreat, although some note it's a drive to local attractions, which is not a drawback for most.
Comfort is a highlight, with guests finding the beds extremely comfortable and the cabin cosy, even in adverse weather. The spacious layout and cosy atmosphere contribute to a very comfortable stay.
Facilities are well-regarded, with the hot tub being a standout feature. The well-equipped kitchen, modern bathroom, and wood burner are also mentioned positively. Some guests suggest minor additions, but overall, the maintenance and facilities are excellent.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident, with personal touches like having the fire ready to light and gifts such as champagne for special occasions. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is noted that such gifts are a kind bonus and not a guaranteed amenity.
About this property
Machynlleth 5.8 miles. Settled amid the glorious, rolling countryside of Powys, in the quaint village of Aberhosan near Machynlleth, is the beautifully presented Bacheiddon Log Cabin. In a truly unforgettable location, and a winner of a Gem Award 2023, this property boasts a 360 degree view of the mountains from every aspect. Boasting a warm and welcoming interior as well as an outdoor hot tub, this charming abode is the idyllic rural retreat for a family of four. Be greeted by two desirable off-road parking spaces before leaving your vehicle to soak in the spectacular views, with a field of sheep before you. Enter the spacious open-plan living area, flooded with natural light from the French doors and offering panoramic views of the unspoilt landscape. Step over to the tastefully furnished sitting area to unwind after your journey; throw a log into the woodburning stove to set a relaxing ambiance and flick on the Smart TV. Prepare tasty meals in the contemporary kitchen, hosting an elegant island in the centre so you can keep the designated chef company, and keep your wine cool in the American style fridge/freezer before dinner is ready; settle down at the dining table to tuck into a heart-warming dish and catch up on the adventures of the day. Head outside to the front garden to savour a moment of relaxation in the hot tub; here you can unwind under the stars with a stunning backdrop of the Welsh hills. As the evening draws to a close, venture back inside to the warmth and pick up a towel off the heated towel rail in the bathroom to keep you toasty. Choose between two splendid, super-king-size bedrooms, both providing great storage space to house your belongings and Smart TV's for late night entertainment. In the morning, enjoy a refreshing rinse in the walk-in shower, or opt for a leisurely soak in the free-standing bath to begin your day. Relish a steaming cup of coffee in the enclosed garden nestled at the rear of the property whilst the little ones play around the space. Lace up your walking boots and embark on an adventure to the town of Machynlleth to discover a dramatic, cascading waterfall, Frwd Fawr Waterfall, where you can admire the splendour of nature or visit Afon Clywedog for a stroll around Clywedog Reservoir and then through Hafren Forest for some ancient woodlands. Travel further afield to the old market town of Dolgellau, renowned as one of the most stunning places to explore within Eryri (Snowdonia); here you can have fantastic walks, enjoy the thrill of mountain biking and then choose from a plethora of eateries after an action-packed day. The historical town of Aberystwyth is also within easy reach, where you can tour the Amgueddfa Ceredigion Museum for various periods in time, as well as Aberystwyth Arts Centre, which offers a cinema and four galleries to explore; be sure to take a walk along the sea to the Royal Pier Arcade. For a replenishing trip to the countryside, stay at Bacheiddon Log Cabin.
Machynlleth is a charming market town resting amid the unspoilt countryside of Mid Wales. The town hosts street markets each Wednesday and is home to a 19th century clock tower as well as a great selection of shops, pubs and cafes. Machynlleth hosts two art galleries, including the Museum of Modern Arts, which showcases international talent. The coast sits just ten miles away, where you can enjoy tranquil walks, fishing and rock climbing.

Everything you need is in the cabin. It was lovely and quiet and we really enjoyed our time there.

The location, the views, the cabin itself, the cleanliness, the hot tub, the scent of timber as you walk through the door, the wildlife, the decor... I could keep going! I was hesitant about booking this log cabin, it's nearly double our usual price range. But having experienced just a short weekend here (which was sadly cut short by a day) I can honestly say it was worth EVERY penny, and then some! You can tell the owners take immense pride in this cabin... Thank you so much for sharing it with us, we'll definitely be returning soon!
