Bronwyn
Bronwyn
Bronwyn is one of our most remote cabins, offering the ultimate off-grid experience where you’ll be completely surrounded by nature. Perched high on a dairy farm near Betws-y-Coed - the gateway to Snowdonia - she feels wonderfully secluded, yet you’re only a 15-minute drive from alpine forests, independent shops, and award-winning eateries.
Bronwyn offers far-reaching views across the valleys, and with the local cows sharing Bronwyn's field you'll be 100% immersed in nature from the moment you arrive. If you're scared of cows, this might not be the cabin for you! For the adventurous, as well as being close to Snowdon to hike, the estate hides a secret wild-swimming spot, just a 10–15 minute walk from the cabin - perfect for a refreshing dip in the river.
Built with comfort in mind, Bronwyn has a hot shower, a king-sized bed with Piglet in Bed linen, and a kitchenette with a gas hob. As a digital detox cabin, she also comes with a phone lockbox, radio, and plenty of board games - everything you need for a peaceful, phone-free retreat.

It was amazing, the cabin is in such a beautiful spot and the views are spectacular. We had such a sunny weekend. We loved the fire pit and also the camera 📸. We managed to get some great photos and are planning on putting them on the wall. The log burner was so cosy and the kitchen was all you needed even if the fridge froze the milk a few times 😅.
