Mind the gaps in the slats 🖤💛

It's the Spring Equinox 🌓💐today which marks the official start of Spring! There are a couple of things that are most associated with this time of year - and if you pop to any of the shops you will not be surprised to discover that one of those things are Eggs! 🥚
The other one is traditionally Hares (as opposes to Rabbits 🐇 which we see more commonly used to represent this time of year).
So I wanted to share with you a very short video of this lovely Hare who ran right by my feet outside the cabin - It was huge and honestly I thought it was a dog initially! 😆 However, I grabbed my phone just in time to catch him having a little snack and to see him lollop off into the distance...
I am never disappointed by the wildlife in Wales though - and whether you're all about nature, scenery, flora & fauna or more about seeing the gorgeous array of natural critters living in the area, you will surely never be disappointed! 😊

Its so true isn't it? A staycation used to be the better value option versus going abroad, til covid blew things out of the water!
Only a couple of years ago, £500 used to get you a night at a very high end hotel, but now it might only get you a caravan with an al fresco bath in some parts of the UK!
🙈😅😭
However, we've said it before and we will say it again, we NEVER want to be part of the problem here so, even despite the escalating energy costs and industry wide price hikes over the past few years, we have only ever raised our prices by £10 per night MAX.
In fact, lately, since energy costs have stabilised a little, we have actually DROPPED most of our prices - especially because for those of youbooking via Airbnb, you also pay them an additional 20% on top of the nightly rate. So to keep things at a great level of value for You, we have LOWERED our prices to PRE-COVID days!
So please consider value for money before you shelve out your hard earned cash! If people keep paying ridiculous prices for something that cost a quarter of the price only a couple of years ago, it will only perpetuate the problem even more!
We believe in providing great value at realistic prices and, if that sounds like just your cup of tea, just get in touch to book your next holiday breakaway with us 😊👌

Go on! Book your trip now. just message us to make an enquiry, or see the Airbnb calender for current availability 👌😊

Following the truly sad news of Dave's passing yesterday, I wanted to share with you the opportunity to catch one of the last TV episodes he recorded with Si as he visited North Wales & Snowdonia. This will be aired next Tuesday on BBC 2 at 7pm.
The Hairy Bikers

The Bikers explore north west Wales and discover new and surprising local food producers.

Interested in Folklore? Check out this BBC article about Wales - a land that is absolutely saturated in the stuff! :)
Snowdonia is a particularly magical area - and it's quite easy to believe that magical, mythical creatures could once have lived there (and perhaps still do!) when you spend time in some of the incredible environments this relatively small area has to offer.

P.S. the village of Maentwrog (roughly pronounced: mine-too-rog), mentioned in this article, is only a few short miles away from the cabin, so if you want to go hunting for legends, you're very well placed to do so when you stay there! :D

Wales is home to some of the last remaining examples of temperate rainforests in Europe.

Mabon…Welsh God or Autumn Equinox?

I’m away this weekend honouring Cerridwen with a bunch of Druids on the shores of Llyn Tegid. So won’t be able to post much about the autumn equinox/Mabon stuff.

So here’s just a gentle reminder that “Mabon” is the name of a Welsh deity. His name, “Mabon ap Modron” means “the great son of the great mother”. Modron isn’t an alternate name for him…nor the seasonal celebration…it is the name of his mother.

Mabon was stolen away from his mother as just a babe, and because of this many draw parallels between his tale and the myth of Persephone/Kore going into the underworld. Of course Persephone’s mythos is used as an explanation for the disparity between the darker and the lighter halves of the year.

But Mabon’s myth does not specify his abduction and imprisonment had any seasonal connotations. In fact, he wasn’t trapped in Caerloyw for just a season, it’s implied he was imprisoned for quite a long, long time. So long indeed that only the most ancient of animals knows where he is.

And so there isn’t anything at all really to link Mabon with the autumn equinox in traditional Welsh myth and lore. The idea that he represents the equinox is a modern invention.

I don’t particularly mind folks referring to the autumn equinox as “Mabon”. All I ask, as a person born and bred in Wales, whose first language is Welsh, is that if you insist on using Mabon as the name of the equinox…at least learn the correct pronunciation, and maybe familiarise yourself with who Mabon is a little.

Otherwise it feels rather disrespectful to the culture the name is drawn from.

GREAT NEWS!! Now that Summer Hols are over, we have a little more availability! Having been totally full for July and August, and turning people away, we now have a few more dates open in the calendar for you!

Whilst weekends are always busy (get your bookings in fast!), midweeks have more availability at this time of year ++++ and rates are reduced Sun - Thurs 😀👍

If you can work remotely, this means you could swap your same 4 walls at home for somewhere you can enjoy a beautiful morning or evening walk in the woods, hills or even on the beach, to nicely round off your work day!

If you are not tied to the standard working week, you can take advantage of both lower prices and fewer people in the area if you stay between Sunday and Thursday 👍

So if you fancy getting away from your usual scenery, and out onto glorious North Wales & the Snowdonia National Park instead, just get in touch! 💙

Ancient sites such as this Dolmen, dating back around 4000 - 6000 years!) are nestled about all-over the countryside in Snowdonia - many are hidden in plain site!

This one is just 2 minutes walk off the main road in Dyffryn Ardudwy and here you will find 2 ancient Dolmens - which are neolithic burial chambers. They are quite a site to behold, especially when you consider how people with only the most basic of tools and resources managed to get the stones in place!

They are also places of magical energy, being such ancient sacred sites. So why not spend some quiet time here, enjoying the peace and tranquility as you sit amongst the stones of our ancestors

The magical Coed y Brenin (King's Wood) is just 3 miles from the cabin and is a paradise for moumtain bikers, walkers & hikers, nature lovers and tree huggers alike 🌳
Go get lost in the sea of green! 💚

On a clear day, Eryri (Snowdon) is visible for miles.

Here you can see the long sandy stretch of Harlech Beach in the middle of the photo and Snowdon (in a heat haze 🔥) provides a wonderful backdrop for the view.

Whilst taking some photos, we we also treated to some action in the skies as fighter jets from the local airbase were in training - quite a sight (if you can catch them - they are often VERY fast!)

So check the skyline when you are out and about- you never know what you might see 🙂

🥰 What a gorgeous day!

Llechwedd Quarry hosts one of the famous Zip World sites and it's just 25 minutes drive from the cabin. Need some adrenaline fuelled adventure in your life? This would be the place!

No it's not a Hollywood disaster movie!

Tbt to August 2019 when our nearest Waterfall (which is on National Trust land) went absolutely titsmental after a big summer downpour!

This was absolutely incredible to witness first hand! Whilst we are lucky enough to have some beautiful waterfalls in Snowdonia, they tend to be a lot more impressive after a big rainfall.

So if you plan to go and see waterfalls on your next visit to Snowdonia, you may want to choose a time when there's been lots of rain

11/04/2023

If you're able to get away after all the Easter crowds have left then grab a getaway on the weekend of 21/22 April! Msg to book.

As usual: Sleeps max 3 people (1 double bed, 1 single) ; 2 night min stay applies; No pets, No hot tub.

Want to climb Snowdon? Be mindful where you park! During the holidays Snowdon itself is like a human motorway - it's massively busy and over crowded - yet Snowdonia has hundreds of peaks to summit! Do your research and don't just choose the tourist traps :) There's so much more to this National Park than just this one mountain!

Highway teams were seen removing cars from a stretch of the A5 in the tourism hotspot.

21/03/2023

Booking platform messages are heavily monitored and so we can't make suggestions or share our personal details or social pages on there, as they ofc want to keep all bookings on their sites! However, on here we can let you know that we can take bookings without the guest mark up that is passed on to the you guys! Just message us if you would like to make a reservation :)

Unlike most of the accommodation in the UK, since lockdown we've NOT raised our prices to unaffordable levels... (I don't know about you but I have seen some truly shocking price increases in the past few years!)

In fact, we've only increased our nightly rate by £10 on the more popular dates, just to try to cover the increase in energy costs which we're all feeling. We don't think just cause everyone else is doubling their prices due to loss of earnings during covid, that we should too.

We have always believed in providing great value accommodation and nothing has changed! In fact, we know that despite (or perhaps because of) the cost of living squeeze, you need a holiday more than ever! And we want to make sure that is a great value holiday!

So, just to refresh you, prices start from (an extremely great value for up to 3 people!) £75 per night.

There is a 2 night minimum stay on all dates and during Bank and School holiday periods this is usually longer.

If you would like to check any dates, there's a live availability calendar on Airbnb - please note that they do charge an additional 20% fee to guests on top of our nightly rate so if you check prices on there they will be much higher than quoted here.

For reference the cabin sleeps maximum 3 people, we don't accept any pets (No, not even 1, small, well-behaved dog!) and we don't have a hot tub! (As ppl always ask that!).

However, you do have all of gorgeous Snowdonia to explore with mountains, beaches, forests and fun for miles! If you need to do something that's really good for your soul, book a getaway and soak up the great outdoors in stunning Snowdonia! 💙
