Little Kestrel Cabin

Our family has enjoyed holidays in mid-Wales for over 20 years, in 2017 we had the opportunity to buy our own holiday home, it has taken us 14 months to renovate it, but at last, we can say that it's finally finished and ready for guests. We employed local craftsmen to help us along the way, which was great as we have hopefully made a few lifelong friends too. When we are not in Wales, I am making jewellery, and my husband is landscape gardening.

Nestled on an old quarry track within the Dyfi Valley hillside, amongst giant redwoods and pine trees you will find Little Kestrel Cabin. Sitting on the footprint of an old Welsh Lime Kiln, you are treated to panoramic views along the valley, towards the beautiful beaches of Aberdovey, just 6 miles away. Walk 5 minutes along the track and pop out on the Dyfi river, lambs and rolling hills surround you. Douglas Fir-clad walls and an eclectic mix of leather, linen, pine and velvet come together to make a cosy, relaxed stay. The Welsh slate topped sink and hand painted units create a wonderful welcome to this delightful cabin. A large farmhouse table, wood burner and two comfy sofas for planning adventures, eating and relaxing. Take a book off the shelf and put a log on the fire, or throw the doors open and take a glass of something cold to enjoy the view across the valley by day and Snowdonia’s star-filled ‘Dark Sky’ at night. Run up a mountain, or snooze amongst the Dunes, a wonderful combination of mountain and sea makes Little Kestrel perfectly placed for a relaxing summer holiday, adrenalin filled adventures or a romantic getaway.

The views are stunning as are the walks and beaches, local shops and markets are great for getting everything and anything, and just 3 miles away. The cabin is truly tranquil with the only sounds to be heard are from the surrounding wildlife. We are situated within Snowdonia National park and benefit from no light pollution, the night skies are amazing. Walk to the bottom of the lane and you are on the Dovey river, see fish jumping and perhaps an osprey fishing for lunch. Drive along the coast to Aberdovey, or put on your boots and take to the hills. Our cabin is truly a wonderful place to stay.
