Log Cabin Snowdonia

22/08/2026

21 years ago, Cabin 120 looked a little different..

Not massively though. Back in 2005, there were a few less windows; the kitchen was smaller; everything was a lot more basic. Over time we've replaced, and upgraded. Only 1 or 2 things are still the same...
And that includes my colour scheme - which still remains today! 👌 Check out some more recent posts to see how this compares to the cabin today ☺️👌✨️

If you're lucky enough to be able to get away at any time of year and are not tied to the school holidays in Snowdonia, then September is an ideal time to explore Eryri. The weather is (usually!) still glorious 😎, but the beaches, mountains and forests are much quieter, so much so that you might even get to catch a glimpse of the gorgeous wild ponies of the Carneddau...

Get in touch now to discuss your booking requirements ( follow the messging link on this post, or share to someone you know ☺️🙏) - we currently have just 1 full week left available in September...

DON'T GET STUNG! ⚡️🪼

Jellyfish are a regular sight in North Wales - usually it's the huge and rather alien looking Barrel Jellyfish (Rhizostoma pulmo). The largest jellyfish in UK waters, often reaching the size of a dustbin lid! Not harmful to humans but can seem alarming due to their size. This little critter on the other hand is a Compass Jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella), identified by its distinct brown markings. It is known to deliver a nasty sting, so it is recommended to keep your distance if you encounter one on the beach.

Speaking of getting stung... ⚡️ you might like to check the comments section of this post because, following a few legal changes, a certain 🐝&🐝platform now has given themselves the right to trawl through our social platforms and penalise us for saying anything they deem to be unacceptable. Anyway, back to Marine life...

Top Tip: Always rinse 🪼 stings thoroughly with sea water. Use over-the-counter pain relievers, topical ibuprofen gel, hydrocortisone creams, or oral antihistamines to reduce swelling and itching.

Stay careful out there folks! 😉👌

You'd be forgiven for thinking this was somewhere far more exotic than the UK, but actually, it's just good ol' North Wales! 🏖️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
Alongside the mountains, the lakes and the forests, Eryri also boast fabulous beaches where you can relax and sunbathe, or splash and play to your heart's content!
If you need a Summer getaway, and you have not got anything booked yet, then we have got just a handful of available dates left this Summer. They are as follows:
4 nights: 28 June - 1 July
5 nights: 13 July - 17 July
2 nights: 5 & 6 August

Get in touch now to book! 😃

Planning on going to the beach this Summer? 🏖 In North Wales, and especially in Eryri, tidal ranges are massive, and can catch you unawares if you are unfamiliar with the area 🌊
This is especially good to know on beaches where you can park your car, such as Black Rock Sands.
It's a surprisingly regular occurrence to hear about yet another car that has been swallowed by the tide, no doubt ruining an otherwise wonderful holiday... 😭🤦‍♀️
We usually recommend that you download a Tide app before you come away, so you can keep an eye on the water levels when going to the beach ( Note that Tide times change daily, and height changes with the lunar cycle, so they vary day to day, week to week). If you arrive at low tide it can be easy to assume that there is always that much sand at the beach - but don't be fooled!!
The Met Office have now also added tidal info to their app, making it even easier to get this info; helping you to stay safe and dry, no matter where you go ☺️👌
( For more detailed info you can use the Tide Times app, also pictured)

It fair to say that to get the most out of a walking trip to North Wales (and to be able to check out all the places you won't see the influencers banging on about on IG or TikTok!), you need to be handy with an Ordnance Survey Map. Need to brush up on your Map Reading skills though? Check out the video (link in the comments on the original post).
Big Thanks to Fell Running Guide for creating this 👌

One common mistake I see people making is thinking that a symbol on the map is a path when it isn't!

Some examples shown in the video in the comments.

Well would you ever! 😮The legendary Anthony Hopkins was in Dolgellau (just 10 mins down the road from the Cabin) this past week! He's currently filming a new feature film based on a short story by Dylan Thomas and (given who the author is) unsurprisingly, it is set in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The film is based on a Dylan Thomas story called 'A Visit to Grandpa’s', a whimsical, heart stirring tale of a boy’s summer spent with his eccentric grandfather:

"When a lonely boy is sent to spend the summer with his wildly eccentric grandfather in the countryside, he expects boredom but finds magic instead. Grandpa is nothing like he imagined: impulsive, outrageous, and full of mysterious stories that blur fact and fantasy. As the days stretch on, mischief turns to meaning, and their unexpected bond becomes a lifeline for them both. This is a funny and deeply moving journey through memory, imagination and the strange magic of family."

It sounds like Sir A is the perfect casting for this role. I can't wait to see it! 😀👌
