Cadair View Lodge Accommodation In Eryri

24/10/2026

Bore da, morning all,

Off to the cabins shortly to get ready for today's half term arrivals. I hope the weather isn't treating you too badly where you are? A few plans being changed here - as usual the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue social media team have nailed it. The mountains aren't going anywhere; today's a day for curling up with a film or a book, not for tackling Yr Wyddfa for the Gram in leaky boots and zero visability.

Stay safe,

Who doesn’t love a trip to IKEA?

Just looking at some old Facebook reels. Who's been to stay when we've had snow?

No AI needed 🤣

Bore da, morning all, time for a bit of myth busting about self-catering short breaks.

MYTH: Self catering properties are old fashioned and filled with the owners' old junk.
TRUTH: Our cabins are all unique and filled with everything you need for a comfortable stay - does this kitchen look old-fashioned to you?

MYTH: I want to get away from all the cooking and cleaning, not have to do it when I'm on holiday too.
TRUTH: You don't have to! We recommend plenty of places to eat out, and as long as you do the washing up before you leave the cleaning is our problem.

MYTH: I'll get bored sitting in the cabin with nothing to do.
TRUTH: I promise, you won't. There are plenty of things to do and places to visit in our quiet corner of southern Eryri, and even on the rainiest of days the cabins are so peaceful and quiet you can lose yourself in a book, a movie or an old-fashioned board game. I've never yet had a guest tell me they were bored, but I've had plenty tell me about the sense of peace and relaxation they found.

What do you think - what would put you off a self-catering stay?

Cheeky little Christmas shopping weekend, anyone? We have cosy cabins available every weekend between now and Christmas, with loads of ideas and events in our Shop Local To Our Accommodation and What Can We Do In Eryri by Cadair View Lodge Facebook groups - check out all the Christmas fairs and markets as well as our independent local shops 🎁🎁🎁

Bore da, good morning my lovelies. It's another glorious Autumn morning here in Eryri, the cats have had breakfast and gone back to bed, and I'm just starting on my second cuppa.

And it's time.

Time to have the "what are you doing for Christmas?" conversation. With just 70 days to go, if your plans include eacaping to a cosy log cabin you might want to think about reserving yours with a £50 deposit. We have stays from 2 nights throughout the holiday period, with arrivals every day except Christmas Day. The cabins will all be decorated with Christmas trees and fairy lights, (unless of course you'd prefer to get away from all that this year, in which case just let us know 💕) and we've started filling the Cadair View Lodge Tasty Food in Eryri Facebook group with delicious festive menus from the local pubs and restaurants.

And last year we had lots of Twixtmas visitors, here to walk off all the mince pies and get some fresh mountain air before the New Year celebrations. Something to think about?

As for me, I'll be right here in Trawsfynydd as always to make sure everything runs smoothly for our Christmas guests. But enough about me, what I really want to know is.....

What are you doing for Christmas?

Noswaith dda, evening everyone. It's been an absolutely glorious Autumn day in Eryri and Oakley and I have completed Day 2 of our 100k Your Way challenge for Sport in Mind, raising funds for their children's mental health projects.

This afternoon we did one of my favourite walks from Trawsfynydd to Coed y Brenin. It's a steady climb up the back road from Traws to Capel Penstryd above the cabins, then picking up the Sarn Helen trail, an ancient Roman route that runs the length of Wales. It takes you down into Coed y Brenin forest and ultimately on to Dolgellau and beyond.

Photo dump below, and thanks to everyone who's sponsored me so far (see my Rachel Jones profile for the funding page, as links are strictly rationed here these days 🤣)

Now, where shall we go tomorrow?

Everything crossed for our friends at Caru Coed y Brenin as they reach the final stages of their bid to run the much-loved and much-missed visitor centre. The journey has been far too long and there will be a huge amount of work to do but hopefully we'll have some good news to share very soon.

Huge respect to everyone who has worked tirelessly to get to this point. Coed y Brenin has brought hundreds of thousands of visitors to our doorstep and it would be a dream come true to see it safe in the hands of the local community.

Mae Caru Coed y Brenin wedi cyrraedd cam olaf y cais i sicrhau dyfodol dan arweiniad y gymuned!

Caru Coed y Brenin has reached the final proposal stage in bid for a community-led future!

Mae cryn amser wedi mynd heibio ers i Caru Coed y Brenin roi diweddariad cyhoeddus ynglŷn â dyfodol Coed y Brenin. Fodd bynnag, mae gwaith sylweddol wedi bod yn digwydd y tu ôl i’r llenni.
