Caban Clyd in Dinas Mawddwy, North Wales | Must-See Shropshire Hot Tub Cottage

About Caban Clyd

Caban Clyd is a luxurious glamping pod tucked away on a working farm in Dinas Mawddwy, North Wales. This cosy hideaway offers panoramic views of the Dyfi Valley and sits in a secluded spot where wildlife watching becomes your daily entertainment. The pod might be small but it packs everything you need for a proper getaway from the madness of everyday life.

Set within the stunning southern Snowdonia National Park, this location is perfect for both relaxation and adventure. Cross the River Dyfi and you're just a 5-minute walk from the village with its welcoming pub and café. Fancy something more energetic? The challenging 9-mile hike over Foel Benddin starts practically at your doorstep. After a day of exploring, you'll appreciate that private hot tub even more - nothing beats soaking under the stars with a glass of wine while sheep mind their own business nearby.

The pod itself combines rustic charm with modern comforts. Inside you'll find an open-plan layout with a corner sofa (that converts to a full-size sofa bed), double bed, fully-equipped kitchen with induction hob and a bathroom with shower. Underfloor heating keeps everything toasty when the Welsh weather does its thing.

For day trips, you're perfectly positioned to explore. Climb Aran Fawddwy (10-minute drive) for spectacular views without Snowdon's crowds. Barmouth Beach makes an excellent day out with its expansive sands and seaside charm. The local pub Y Llew Coch serves hearty meals - their Sunday roast will replace all those calories you burned hiking.

Caban Clyd is ideal for couples seeking privacy with a touch of luxury. Where else can you watch fighter jets zoom through valleys one minute and soak in a hot tub the next? Sounds like Wales at its finest.

We spent a couple of nights here and absolutely loved it! The hot tub was such a treat after long walks, really helped us unwind. Growing up on a farm, I appreciated the stunning views - they're breathtaking. The welcome hamper was a lovely touchand the local cafe and pub are worth a visit. Can't wait to come back!

This place is a real good place. We loved how secluded it was, just what we needed to unwind. The cottage was super cosy, equipped with everything we could ask for. The hot tub and fire pit made our weekend even more special. Definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The location is stunning, super peaceful with plenty to see like sheep, birdsand jets flying by. The hot tub was a highlight - perfect anytime. We explored the village, had great food at the cafe and puband spent a lovely day at Barmouth Beach. Can't wait to return!

Emma Collins

Chill spot, super peaceful, loved every moment.

James

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely spot. The setting is truly stunning - so peaceful and private, it felt like a little escape from everything. The pod itself was incredibly comfortable, way more luxurious than other places we've stayed. The owner was a great host, always quick to reply and really helpful, but also gave us space to relax. Honestly, we couldn't find any faults with the whole experience. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway. Thanks a lot!

James

Really enjoyed our stay, felt so comfortable and relaxed. The hot tub was perfectand the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. Would definitely come back!

James

Honestly, the place is even better than the pictures suggest. It's such a charming spotand we felt right at home. We only just got back, but we're already talking about coming back a few times a year. Can't recommend it enough - it's just perfect for a getaway!

Oliver

Really enjoyed the cosy cabin, it had all we needed. The setting was stunning and there was plenty to discover just around the corner.

Emma Carter

We had such a lovely stay! The location was perfect - close enough to drive up Snowdon, yet peaceful enough to really enjoy the mountain views. The town nearby is charmingand honestly, we couldn't recommend this place enough. The hot tub was a real highlight, I just wish we could've taken it home with us! Definitely a trip to remember.

Hazel

We had an amazing 5-night stay at Caban Clyd back in July 2023. The views from the property are truly breathtaking, no matter which way you look. There's a good variety of walks right outside the door, perfect for exploring. The place itself is super cosy and well kitted out, which made it feel like a real home away from home. After a day of hiking, relaxing in the hot tub was just what we needed! The location is peaceful and private, yet within a short 5-minute walk to local amenities. We loved popping into Y Llew Coch (The Red Lion) in the village - the food was hearty and delicious, especially the Sunday roastand the staff and locals were so friendly. Although we didn't get to meet Elen directly, we did chat with her husband, who works on the farm next doorand he was lovely. We also appreciated knowing we could reach out to Elen if needed. For those keen on a good climb but wanting to avoid the crowds of Snowden, we'd recommend Aran Fawddwy - it's tough but so worth itand we only saw a handful of other hikers all day. Overall, we had a fantastic time and can't wait to come back. Thanks so much, Elen! :)

Sarah

The location is absolutely fantastic and really makes the stay special. Cabin Clyd is beautifully finished and kept in top condition. The host was friendly and helpful without being overbearing. Honestly, it's probably the best holiday spot for us!

James

The location of Caban Clyd is fantasticand it's priced really well. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into making sure everything was there. Booking was smooth and hassle-free. Definitely recommend!

Olivia

We really appreciated the warm welcome and the well-stocked welcome pack. The information booklet with local walks and sights was super helpful. Caban Clyd had everything we needed-comfy heating, a TV, fridgeand loads of cleaning supplies. The lighting around the hot tub was lovelyand the cover makes it perfect even when it rains. Nice host too!

Emma

Our stay was truly lovely. The owner clearly put a lot of thought into every little detail, making it feel super cosy and well-equipped. We especially enjoyed the stunning views and relaxing in the hot tub. The walk to the pub was charmingand the food was spot on. The locals were so friendly and welcoming too. Definitely recommend!
