Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the cabin's immaculate condition, with specific references to its spotless nature and professional cleaning, especially in light of COVID-19 precautions.
The cabin's location is frequently highlighted for its breathtaking views, proximity to walks and local attractions, and the peacefulness afforded by its seclusion. However, a few guests noted the approach via a bumpy track and through a campsite.
Guests find the cabin comfortable, with a warm and cosy atmosphere, adequate kitchen, and comfortable beds. Some guests felt the space was slightly small for four people, which slightly affects the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with good broadband and a well-equipped kitchen. However, there are mentions of a bathroom lacking heating and the absence of a cafetière, which was promptly addressed by the owners.
Many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful welcome packs provided by the hosts, including wine, Welsh cakes, and dog treats. While these gifts are warmly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, while common, are not guaranteed.
About this property
Boasting an elevated position above the treeline of Beddgelert Forest, a few miles from the foot of the majestic Snowdonia mountain range, is this delightful, Swedish-style cabin. Snowdon Vista Cabin’s key feature is the superb, commanding views it offers over Nant Colwyn and on a clear day, the Snowdon Mountain Railway train can be seen rising to the summit. This heart-warming retreat has been designed to offer family and friends alike the opportunity to spend time within a wonderful countryside setting, with a base housing all the essentials for a week-long holiday. Fulfilling your culinary needs is the well-equipped kitchen, where the designated cook of the group can prepare a home-cooked meal before gathering the family around the dining table, where countryside views can be enjoyed from every direction. After dinner, sink into the sofas which rest in front of the TV while the electric fireplace fills the room with warmth during those chilly winter months. As the evening draws to a close, drift off to sleep within one of the well-presented bedrooms, comprising of a double bedroom and a twin bedroom. During a sunny day, make the most of the patio area, where you and your loved ones can pour a refreshing drink to enjoy whilst soaking up the picturesque surroundings. If you don’t feel like cooking one evening, venture into the centre of Beddgelert, where you will find a selection of traditional pubs and eateries, as well as shops for picking up any essentials. Whilst visiting Beddgelert you can brush up on the local history by visiting Gelert's Grave or taking a tour of the Sygun Copper Mine.

Snowdon Vista Cabin is a refreshing break within an area steeped with natural beauty.

If you are looking to get off the grid and either relax or do some walking, I would definitely recommend the Snowdon Vista Cabin. It even has its own waterfall! It is located a couple of miles outside of Beddgelert which has everything you need in a lovely little village, including a couple of nice pubs.

Whatever the weather (not the best this time) the cabin is a wonderful winter bolt hole and base to return to. Warm, cosy and comfortable it would be hard to better this little holiday retreat. Thanks Sue and Gary for being the perfect hosts.

Completely fell in love with the village, beautiful views and lots of places to eat drink and browse. Great location for the activities we had booked but also lots of amazing walks with the kids during the times when we didnât have anything booked. Sue and Gary were great, very helpful and friendly and everything was seamless. The cabin was spotless very clean and we had everything we needed. New shower and everything is the kitchen very clean and I am normally fussy. The cabin is perfect for what we needed it for. We definitely hope to be back and a big thanks to sue and Gary for such a wonderful stay.
