Welcome to The Cabin Cefn Mawr log cabin! Located in the heart of the mid Wales we are off the beat

27/10/2026

18 years ago today, The Cabin was built, replacing what was once a humble donkey shed! 🫏 Who would have imagined the journey it would go on to have?

The Cabin has been so much more than just a building. It was once my home, where I brought up my two boys and made so many precious memories. It then had a new chapter as a short-term rental before being lovingly revamped during Covid into the holiday let it is today.

Over the years, it has changed, grown and welcomed so many different people through its doors, each adding a little more to its story.

From a donkey shed to a family home, and now a little getaway for others to enjoy, The Cabin has certainly come a long way in 18 years!

It holds a very special place in my heart, and I’m so proud of how far it has come. Here’s to many more years of making memories. 🏡🩷

Happy 18th birthday, The Cabin Cefn Mawr! 💚

An Important Update 🏡

As many of you are aware, we were due to close our doors for an extended period at the end of 2026. However, this date has now been brought forward to 1st December 2026.

I want to clarify that this is not a permanent closure, and has nothing to do with lack of bookings.

Since opening our doors in 2020, bookings have gone from strength to strength, with so many wonderful guests returning year after year. We’re incredibly grateful for all the support and loyalty you’ve shown us. ❤️

This temporary closure will allow my mum, who has recently sold her farm, to come and live in the cabin, closer to family. It will give her time to decompress, enjoy a slower pace of life and decide what her next chapter will look like.

Watch this space for reopening details!

Thank you for your continued support. It really does mean the world to us. 🥰❤️

What a beautiful keepsake to leave behind at The Cabin Cefn Mawr 💚🎨🖼

One of our lovely guests recently left us this gorgeous watercolour of the view from the cabin, painted during her stay, along with the sweetest handwritten card. 🥰

It’s so special when guests take the time to leave a little piece of their stay behind, and this painting has captured the rolling hills, fields and countryside around Cefn Mawr beautifully.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and personal gift. It will be treasured and has already found a special place here at The Cabin. ❤️

We feel very lucky to welcome such wonderful guests and will miss you all during our extenses closure. 🏡🌿

🌿 A lovely guest review that perfectly captures what we hope our guests experience here… 🌿

Today I return to civilisation.

“Am I ready?

I think not, but it would be hard to leave this place regardless.

Already the chickens and peafowl are accustomed to my presence, and greet me in the mornings. My days were mainly spent on the terrace with them, the coffee, and the view.

The quiet farm has been impressive - the peace of mind even more so - both virtues which this place offers in abundance.

If life could be so peaceful… Alas, now I make my leave.”

Thank you to our wonderful guest for such a beautifully written reflection. ❤️

It means so much to know that the peace, animals, coffee and views have made their stay special. 🐔🦚☕🌿

❔️❔️Frequently Asked Question ❔️❔️

"How many log cabins do you have?"

We get this question ALL the time!

And the answer might surprise you…

ONE. Just one little log cabin.

We’re not a big commercial enterprise — The Cabin Cefn Mawr is one little private log cabin nestled in the hills of mid Wales 🏡 ❤️

So when you see us posting about the cabin there really is only one!

Which also means it's a good reason to book ahead if you have a particular date in mind.

One log cabin. One unique stay. 🌿 We look forward to hosting you!

✨ Meet the Owner ✨

Hi, I'm Charlotte 👋

The two handsome boys with me are Frankie and Reggie, they're my biggest supporters (and sometimes my helpers too!).

People often ask who runs everything here, and the honest answer is... me! 😄

For the last 6 years, I've been running my holiday let alongside working part-time for the local Health Board. Being a single mum means life is always busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

When I'm not welcoming guests, you'll usually find me: 🌿 Gardening 🧹 Cleaning 🔨 Fixing and maintaining the property 🛏️ Preparing for new arrivals 📋 Answering enquiries ...and pretty much everything else in between!

Home is also wonderfully chaotic thanks to our family pets. Alongside my boys, we have our dog Arlo, chickens, a tortoise, and even a peacock and peahens! 🐶🐔🐢🦚

I've called Mid Wales home for the past 26 years, and I absolutely love sharing this beautiful part of the world with our guests. There's nothing more rewarding than knowing people have made special memories here.

Thank you to everyone who has stayed with us, recommended us, or simply followed our journey. Your support means the world to our little family, and we can't wait to welcome many more guests in the years to come. ❤️

If you've stayed with us before, I'd love to hear what your favourite part of your visit was in the comments! 😊
