Stunning Log Cabin/Amazing location/retro twist/pets 2 car spaces bike shed Shifty Chicken Shack is a traditional Norwegian log cabin in the heart of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. The cabin is in Trawsfynydd Holiday Village, a quiet, peaceful but well equipped site surrounded by woodland and open countryside. The cabin sleeps up to 5 people, and is available for weekly, monthly and short breaks from 1st December to 31st October every year. Cosy and fully furnished, it's a perfect base for exploring Snowdonia and North Wales. We're just a couple of miles from Coed y Brenin, and a bile shed can hold 2 bikes with ample space at the back. Some of the best mountain biking trails in Europe. The area is also well known for fishing, walking, wildlife and of course steam trains, as well as spectacular scenery.You can even bring your best friend - pets are welcome, you can bring up to 2 of them! The site has a shop, information centre, outdoor play area and an electric hub for car charging. Furnished with a retro twist you can even play some old vinyl on our record player! We do not have wifi at the property. There is wifi at the launderette and reception.
I have a cleaning buisiness and live 5 miles away. I love the fact that the cabin is always left really clean, and if you have a special occassion coming up, let me know nd I will furnish the cabin for birthday/wedding or engagement
Quiet, friendly, beautifl
