Why stay here
9.1A small woodland cabin resort in a mountain-framed corner of Eryri, with the Welsh Highland Railway stopping at its own Meillionen halt.
A collection of just 16 cabins set among woodland, with direct access to nearby trails and the Welsh Highland Railway at the site. Its setting makes this more than a generic cabin break: forest paths, mountain scenery and the village of Beddgelert are all part of the stay.

Folklore & legend
